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.
Later on he became a priest, and this greatly impacted his life and writing. He went from writing poems which talked about sex, like The Flea, to writing poems strictly about his faith. Gerard Manley Hopkins also wrote about religion in his later poems. Hopkins was born into the Church of England, but in school he had a teacher and mentor named John Henry Newman, who influenced him to convert to Catholicism. After Hopkins’ conversion, his writing became all about his love for God, similar to Donne.
The Model of Christian Charity’s tone is more comforting and with great reason, Winthrop was trying to establish a loving comradely between the colonist. This is evident when he says that “all true Christians are of one body in Christ.” Then he compares each person to a body part and according to the sermon “The ligaments of this body are knit together by love. (Lauter 336) ” Winthrop realized that in order for the colony to succeed he had to have the colonist working as one unit especially considering the imminent dangers they were facing in the New World. He also tries to satisfy the individual by addressing the colonist concerns with wealth and social status. Winthrop assures his colonist that being rich, or poor is all part of God’s plan and everyone has a purpose in that plan.
These situations show again the importance of unity and helping one another to make it through troubles.

Leadership Evangelistic Evaluation 1. Are you leading with “Confidence in God’s Call”?

The repetition of the colloquial word “tucked” shows that the persona is insisting that is relaxed and in control further seen in his “own space”. Harsent also uses religious symbolism such as being in the tower of “retribution” which is usually where punishment is considered to be morally correct, which could indicate that the persona feels that his job is actually his duty and fully deserved. He further uses religion by being up in “the shadow of the cross” suggesting that the persona may be doing this in the name of religion, as the cross is very significant in Christianity. He also finalises by likening the persona to a “man at prayer,” which could imply that he compares his job as a sniper, as something that he is doing for god and he sees no wrong in it. As the reader we would not really associate sniping with religion as it is basically killing people.
Planet Wise: A Book Review In the book “Planet Wise,” written by Dave Bookless, we see a very compelling argument in favour of creation care being more than a simple care for the environment around us; for Bookless, creation care is written into the DNA of every Christian in the world. Not only is caring for creation a reflection of God’s will for the world, but it is something all Christians should do as an act of worship. All Christians are called to meet together, read the bible, pray and share the Good News; which is a joy held by all believers, but creation care is also essential to following Jesus. Bookless lays out his work in the same manner as the biblical story, moving from creation to Jesus and everything in-between. This creative format is followed in this review.
Ap English Spirit Guide Out of all the dead literature authors I decided to pick the one with the neck beard; yeah that’s right, Henry David Thoreau. I chose him for my eternal spirit guide because of his specific way of writing.

Thoreau encouraged readers to enlighten themselves and change for the better. He did this by using conceits, motley of tones, and the use of anaphora, axioms, and allegory to make his writing his own.
The City Upon the Hill theme has been used in American history, they relied on religion to guide them, they believed in American exceptionalism, and a democracy. One reason the City Upon the Hill is used in American history is because of religion. “The Lord will be our God, and delight to dwell among us, as His own people, and will command a blessing upon us in all our ways, so that we shall see much more of His wisdom, power, goodness and truth, than formerly we have been acquainted with.” (Doc A) This quote shows they believed that the Lord would protect them and they could rely on the Lord to help them through hardships they might encounter during their settlement.
