He believed that if he was faithful to God, God will be faithful to him. He did what God asks of him without hesitation. David knows that God knows whats best for him and the people of Israel. When David fought Goliath as a young boy, he wasn’t really scared, because he knew that God has chosen him for a
Eddie Gibbs continues to be authentic after writing Church Next. Chapter one sets the pace for redefining what leadership is. He consistently compares the secular and church images concluding that they are the same, at least from first impressions. A further comparison that carries a strong theme in most chapters is the defining of words. The secular image of `charismatic' is an over bloated ego but in the world of church is a gifted leader in the Holy Spirit.
As we can see, Equiano became free with the help of self-reliance which is indispensable for those who also want to become free not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. You need this skill because there are occasions in life where you are alone; no one stands behind you and makes the choice instead of you. Christianity is also an important factor in Equiano’s life. As Martin writes in the critical reading ‘God helps those who help themselves’ (Martin, 257). Belief is a clambering for everyone just like for Equiano.
Like most other people, Najaf hopes for good fortune in his life and tries to avoid bad fortune. Even though Najaf has been through what he had, his faith in God brought him through. Even in his darkest hours of despair, Najaf clings to hope and his deep love of life and people. Najaf’s faith in God makes it easy for him to get through anything which makes him an extraordinary individual. Najaf is not a regular refugee; it’s obvious that his achievements make him extraordinary.
But the Savior taught that true freedom comes only from following Him: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31–32). God gives commandments for our benefit. They are loving instructions for our happiness and for our physical and spiritual well
I really like his outlook on God given talents. He feels that God gave us theses talents we have to glorify him, therefore we should use them as God intended us too. This book helped me grow as a Christian. Just seeing the examples he set for others is one thing that made me realize I needed to do in my own life. Whither I realize it or not people are always watching me.
His delivery had us in praise and very much in worshipped. He concluded with a spiritual that expressed his sermon. The song was called “He’s An on Time God” which states “He may not come when you want him, but he’ll be there right on time, He’s an on time god, yes he is” which added more spirit and praise since it was the topic of discussion. In summary, this sermon was one that added spark to the room and to those of the audience. He presented his topic, gave examples to support his topic, and delivered it in a positive and inspirational way.
“Good People” In a way we’re all the same. We believe in one God, just the name has changed. A God who puts love, faith and humanity in our hands. To govern these elements in the right way can put doubt and trouble into your life, and how do we even govern them? And if we do govern them and it’s wrong, how do we correct?
It wasn’t his writings alone, however, that sparked the faith in these people. His determined and considerate personality also contributed to the conversion of thousands. Through his journey through religion, C.S. Lewis transformed from a skeptic atheist, to a fruitful Christian and hero. His name stands the test of time, and will be remembered for generations to
John Smith wanted his readers to understand what a selfless, competent leader he was, see how moral he was, realize what a brave man he was, and notice that he was in high favor with God. Not only did John Smith want people to know what a great leader he was, he wanted to be known as a self-sacrificing leader who served others. This can be seen when he insults the president of Jamestown saying: The new President and Martin, being little beloved, of weak judgment in dangers, and less industry in peace, committed the managing of all the things abroad to Captain Smith: who by his own example, good words,
