Dr. Guiness's Analysis
Dr. Guiness said that there is nothing higher than Christian ambition. He began telling a story about a student who asked him during one of his lectures: “if you would be given a chance to pick a generation you would like to be in, which generation would you choose?” He thought about it for a second and answered, “your generation”. He described our generation a crunch one that converged and grew faster than any generations. Dr. Guiness described us that we liked freedom from individuality. Because of this, we as Christians rose to follow the call of God. We thought that by following Him would make us be more in touch with ourselves. He then described what ambition meant for him. He said that ambition was a desire or determination to achieve

    Colonial Enlightenment And The Great Awakening Summary

    Often overlooked in the story of Colonial Enlightenment and The Great Awakening is the unequivocally decisive role that it played in providing an encouragement to pursue a just and harmonious way of existence in life, such a way that would bring Republicanism to the forefront of Colonial Political debate. Whitefield speaks of the utter necessity to pursue a cause that you know to be righteous no matter the cost. When Whitefield states “and that their professing themselves to be his followers, would call them to a constant state of voluntary suffering and self-denial.” he is in fact referencing the emergence of Christianity through the journeys of apostles and persecution of the Religion in its youth and inception. Whitefield’s words relate…

    What Is Macbeth's Ambition

    Ambition is the strong desire to achieve a specific goal and is often driven by determination. It can guide people to achieve goals and aspirations, and some are willing to do anything in order to satisfy their ambitious personalities. The French military and political Napoleon Bonaparte successfully defined what ambition truly is by stating, “Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.” In other words, ambition is not only aspirations that will help people strive to their successes, but it can also fuel a dangerous desire that people will manipulate and use toward ruthless acts. The desire to achieve has proven to emphasize…

    Louis Keller Research Paper

    A major part of life is our life's legacy. Keller shows great examples of people who left a great legacy in the work that they accomplished. But what was more important and impressive than the work is the motive behind the work. Look at this example: If I'm an architect, I can build buildings. If I'm an architect that is close to God, I could build an orphanage for children in Africa. Which one do you think models the fulfilling work of a Christian?…

    Theo 104 Reflection Paper

    After being disciplined for something I had done wrong, my dad would often tell me that we are all a work in progress. That we would never reach perfection till our Redeemer comes for us again but that He still extends His grace toward us. He would often say, “It’s not how many times you fall that count Bill. It’s that you get up one more time than you fall.” At the time I thought I knew what he was telling me but looking back on it I hadn’t a clue what he meant. As years have passed and my walk with Christ matured, I now am beginning to know just what he meant. We, as the children of God, can never achieve perfection, but what we can do is strive to be more like Christ. That is what the definition of a Christian is, “Christ-like”. I try to share the good news of…

    Assisted Suicide Persuasive Speech

    I would like you to step back from your collected thoughts and think about Assisted Suicide. Assisted Suicide is a very delicate and controversial subject around the world and has been for many years. Euthanasia is also a term commonly used for or with assisted suicide. Both of these terms defined mean the purposeful act of death by a terminally ill person going through pain and suffering, with the assistance of a doctor, family member, or any other willing individual. By reading The Merrian-Webster Dictionary and Thesaraus, I have found out that assisted suicide and euthanasia definition and information, have strayed from the original background. Upon reading about this subject, I would not have thought that it all originated from Greece.…

    David Bosch's Paradigm Shifts In Missiology

    David Bosch in chapter 5, “Paradigm Shifts in Missiology” explains the importance of understanding the meaning of mission for our own time and encourages us to use our freedom of thinking to understand the ministry of Jesus and the early church in an imaginative and creative way to our own time and context. The reason to do this is because the Christian faith is a historical faith and is incarnational, the reality of God entering into human affairs (p.181).…
