After watching both the TED talk “The Danger of the Single Story” and the film “God Grew Tired of Us” I definitely noticed the large nature of prejudice and stereotyping of African Americans in our society. Society has made massive improvements since the times of slavery and the stereotypes that have reinforced it. However, there still seems that several individuals go uninformed about the lingering stereotypes, negative positions, and subjugation to Africans and African Americans. It’s also crucial to investigate how these stereotypes are established and dismissed in order to get rid of the problem once and for all. Several people acquire expectations founded on their opinions and are persuaded to disregard or reject information that is unreliable…
The view that religious language is meaningless is one that is shared by many as the religious statements claims can’t validated by evidence and equally can’t be falsified. In addition some hold the view that we can’t talk meaningfully about a being greater than ourselves as our language is limited in describing a being as great as God. However, there are those that believe we can meaningfully make religious statements so long as they meet a certain criteria and aren’t intended as literal.…
According to Cox, “Preaching allows the brain to rethink, reorganize, reconnect and reconstruct itself” (71), all of this occurs along the neuropathways. In the end, the brain “retrains” itself. He noted that all aspects of a worship service lead up to the preaching of the Word: “The message is more than the sermon; preaching is more than the sermon; The sermon is found in the hymns, the prayers, the Scripture readings and the spoken word” (73). With this in mind, preaching must be given prominence! Cox added that preaching must include application. “Sermons that do not apply to the lives of the worshipers are objectified” (74). According to Cox, preachers, vying for listener’s attention, must preach the “immediate gratification of peace with God” (76).…
Scripture has so many fulfilling riches that are missed because preachers fail to spend time in the scriptures, but the scripture alone is a wonderful place to begin to seek sermonic ideas. One of the biggest down falls of preachers is that they don’t spend enough time in the scripture. It is hard to say that preaching comes from the scripture, but the preachers don’t have a firm understanding of what is found in…

According to C.E. Autrey, “Old Testament evangelism was largely a matter of revivals; there were no personal efforts on the part of anyone to win converts.”25 The author believed, Old Testament revivals were not revivals in the sense, in which today’s communities view them. Autrey proclaimed, the spiritual revivals in the history of Judah and Israel, during the times of the Old Testament’s prophets, kings, patriarchs, and scribes, were at an all-time decline constantly.26 On the other hand, according Autrey, the New Testament demonstrated a full approach to an evangelistic ministry.27 He continued, “The Apostle Paul and many of the other apostles, used writing, as well as mass and personal evangelism, to further spiritual conquest.”28…

There are many different religions with different World View of criminology. Criminology started off during the ancient times like the Old Testament which was during the biblical times. When people were responding to revenge or taking matters in their own hands Exodus 21:24-25 eyes for eye tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, (Bible.com). Also, during the time of BCC when individuals would commit crimes they would be punishing there punishment was torture. God create the government to protect and serve the people during that time when crimes were committed it offended God. Romans 13:4 say “For the one in authority is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God's servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer (Bible.com).…
