But What Does It Mean to Me? "What does this verse mean to me?" by John MacArthur All Rights Reserved That's a fashionable concern, judging from the trends in devotional booklets, home Bible study discussions, Sunday-school literature, and most popular preaching. The question of what Scripture means has taken a back seat to the issue of what it means "to me." The difference may seem insignificant at first.
Craig’s single carriage locomotive crawled along, amongst the fields. The occasional whistle whined in protest. Craig was the driver for this track. His view of the uninterrupted golden horizon was determined by left and by right. Left of the stretching expanse of military-straight railway, and right of it.
Rather than bring any innovation in pictorial language or mode of representation to painting, Dali s paradoxical images are his great contribution to the art of our time. Salvador Dali's 1951 oil painting "Christ of Saint John of the Cross" features a large image of the crucifixion of Christ hanging over the Bay of Port Lligat (Dali 1). Erwin Panofsky's iconographical analysis "deals with the manner in which, under varying historical conditions, specific themes or concepts are expressed by objects and events" (Stavrou 2). In this manner, Dali's painting of Christ reveals more than his own perspective on the icon of Christ. Dali's perspective is also characteristic of the basic attitudes of the era and society during which the painting was created.
The lines and strokes accentuate the beauty of this artwork. The black parallel lines and the series of pink shapes create movement and also they frame the picture. The artwork is balanced in such a way that directs the eyes to the heart of the artwork. The light back ground emphasizes the dark and deep tones of the subject. The artist did a brilliant job tying all the pieces, colors, shapes and patterns together.
Task: Bergman portrays Medieval Society in the film “The seventh seal” do you agree? “The seventh seal” In the film “The seventh Seal” Bergman portrays many interesting aspects as regards the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Although, many parts of the film have been quite interesting, I firmly believe that some of them are quite misleading and not clearly depicted. First of all, as far I am concerned, monasteries are the institution of religion where people pray to God and perform religious activities. This is not clearly the case in the film.
Sheeler’s painting is, as the name implies, a landscape. It is not a landscape in the traditional sense; the painting depicts a large factory site. The painting by Hockney, on the other hand is a portrait. The foregrounds of both paintings have an almost photographic appearance, but the backgrounds seem to be abstractions. The foreground of Classic Landscape is dominated by the realistic steel railroad tracks and sturdy wooden ties.
Some have criticized James in that they thought he was teaching that salvation was by works alone, but in reality he is complementing Paul’s teaching of salvation by faith. The two go hand in hand. Salvation by faith results in holy living (Harper, 1967). The book is included to help believers put their faith into action. It is not enough to talk the talk but to also live it (James 2:14, New Living Translation).
“The Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John” (fig.1) and “The Crucifixion” (fig.2) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, an oil painting created between ca.1495-1625 of European Paintings. Both of the paintings are created by different Dutch and periods, but the painting deliver the same message to the audiences. It describes the death of the Jesus and the sadness of the people. It represents most of the people cherish and pray for Jesus. Although two image’s messages are same, but they are painting in different materials.
Hopewell from my perspective put more emphasis on reading God’s word, praying, and fellowshipping with the members and visitors. Whereas at Moody, Reverend Hezekiah Stewart, Jr. Pastor; believes in speaking in tongue, healings, and laying hands on a person and anointing of oil. I was invited by my brother to attend Hopewell Church in Old Hickory, Tennessee. He assured me that there were some differences in Hopewell Worship style than Moody’s, but Hopewell would not deviate much from the normal Moody worship. In identifying the culture experience of Hopewell Baptist church I will discuss the experience, my preconceived notion about the experience, how my reactions were affected by group influence, and describe the reactions of individuals as well as the effect these reactions had on my behavior and self.
Though they may differ vastly in color, composition, and purpose, they both illustrate the ways in which their respective cultures understand their relationship to the world through their relationship to God. The earlier piece of artwork, Taddeo di Bartolo’s Miracle of St. Dominic, was created around 1403, and portrays the occurrence of a divine miracle in which a man is brought back from the dead by St. Dominic. The painting itself is a small, square composition with matte, gold background which acts as the sky. This, along with a multitude of other features, cause many art historians to believe that this image was once part of an altar piece. Due to the function and time period attributed to the painting, it becomes obvious that it was created to tell a story.
