Ruth demonstrates her faithfulness to Naomi, by refusing to leave her side and displaying a strong and willing commitment to her mother-in-law (Ruth 1:15-17). Additionally we see another act of faithfulness which is shown through Boaz, he keeps his promise to take Ruth as his wife (Ruth 4:9-10). The unconditional love that God desires all of us to attain is shown through the faithfulness, kindness, honor and security within the book of Ruth. However, redemption is the fundamental theme in the book of Ruth. Boaz, Ruth’s “kinsman redeemer” rescues Ruth and Naomi from an impossible situation.
Mary Rowlandson believes that what she is going through is a punishment from God for all the sins she has done in the past. “I opened my Bible to read, and the Lord brought that precious Scripture to me” (Rowlandson). She read the Bible very often, she got comfort, and assurance that what she is going through is part of God’s plan. Not only did she get comfortable, but she also believed that reading the Bible was a way she can repay for her sins and get forgiveness from God. Looking at what she suffered with the most food plays a huge role.
You will see how powerful God is and how He used a humble women like Corrie for a bigger purposes in life. It’s a book that inspires people to have faith in God. It describes her experiences during the Nazi Holocaust and how she would preach of the message of Jesus even though people didn’t believe her or people hated her. But
You can see this though many ways. One way is the way she refers to how things happen during her time as a captive. She sees everything that happens to her during this time and her life as God’s will. She believes that everything happens for a reason and looks to God. During her time when she was lost in the wilderness she states, “I cannot but admire at the wonderful power and goodness of God to me (112).” She wasn’t afraid to admit her faith; she confesses it throughout the entire narrative.
Major stereotypes were filled in (give year). She also explained how her manners and being kind to others led her to the lord who took care of her. This represented her roots and how culture came to part of her lifestyle and how she incorporated it into her life. Throughout her stories one thing stayed consistent, this was her consistent showing of respect. Reflection Reading the story of Charity Anderson was a real privilege because it showed me how your entire life can reflect upon your morals.
Love for Jacob Novak is what finally brings light to Mashah's face, as she turns her time and energy from maintaining her own appearance to tending to Jacob's every need. Yezierska talks about the innocent light that shines from young Benny's face, and Bessie decides that caring for him will be the purpose that makes her marriage to an old fish peddler tolerable. In the book, Sara spends most of her struggles to get an education, hoping to find a purpose that will define her life the way religion defines her father's. She admires Hugo Seelig so much because he is her light by that purpose. The light of knowledge shines from him and touches everyone he knows.
The words of her father while on his deathbed seems to be what I felt Barton lived by in her life; “As a Patriot he bade serve my country with all I had, even my life if need be; as the daughter of an accepted Mason, he bad me seek and comfort the afflicted everywhere, and as a Christian he charged me to honor God and love mankind”. She of course had her faults as everyone does, but they did not always have bad effects. While she was not keen with others surpassing her, it helped her to also go farther than she would have most likely imagined. By standards of today’s idea of Christianity, it would depend on how you look at it. She accomplished a great deal of good in the United States, and in the world itself, but is the question would be if what she did was good enough to
She was so dedicated, she was a good Christian, but instead a getting something good in return she suffered and suffered till the end...She prayed day and night, hoping that her prayers and would be answered after all her suffering, but at the end it seemed that the Big Man had other plans for her... Jesus Christ said that the greatest thing is to sacrifice yourself for your friends. Indeed if Nanni did something in her life it was to sacrifice herself for all of those that ignored her and mistreated her and especially for the Respected Josiah Bryn-Bevan that she so loved and was proud of till the end. Caradoc Evans in ‘’Be This Her Memorial’’ wants in a way to attack the hypocritical Welsh people, he wants to show how religion can be bad at times and how we have to think not just follow, because if we just follow without thinking we might end up like Nanni, sacrificing everything without getting anything in
I learned a lot of new things from the article that I can now use in the future. I agreed with everything that the article said and loved how they used the bible as the number one source of information and proof. I do like how they went into detail about the biblical reasons why abortion is morally wrong and he philosophical reasons as well because a non believer doesn’t believe in the bible can just say show me why its bad outside the bible. That is where the philosophical reason comes into play. My favorite verse from that section was Exodus 21:22-25.
The first example is “save your people” and “be their shepherd” both show the want for His salvation. Secondly, “bless your heritage” in line one carries the same theme as “carry them forever”. Those excerpts both stress the importance of sticking to your roots. The psalmist wants for Israel to be guided from Her shepherd forever. In conclusion, the message that Psalm 28 has to offer is that the people of God can pray for aid in times of need to their Lord.
