The 1st piece of writing I chose was the Spartan Creed written by a man known as Tyrtaseus. Before even reading this I knew that it was going to be an interesting piece because Sparta basically only lived to fight and if you didn’t you became a slave if you were weak. Tyrtaseus was a well-known 7th century poet (PS19). What made this piece even more interesting was that Tyrtaseus was a General in the war against Messenia (PS19). In this war the “Helots” were captured and taken as slaves and they

The generally accepted idea of a classic gangster was generated by Hollywood. Before the Kafauver hearings‚ with the exception of Scarface (1932)‚ the majority of gangster films featured mobsters that were removed from any Mafia and did not tend to contain Italian characters.

“beloved Disciple” there is no evidence that it would be one person in particular. The book of John does an excellent job of remaining consistent in story and character of this mystery Disciple. Although Jesus is with him and speaks of him frequently‚ he is certain to not be mentioned by name. This obviously points the reader to examine the authorship of the gospel itself because of the consistencies in story throughout Jesus’s life. In John 21 it says in reference to the beloved disciple‚ “This is

Biblical Theological Seminary LEAD Formation and Mission Jeff Knight 11/26/2012 “Jesus Creed” Response Paper The Jesus Creed has really helped me to look at Scripture from what I believe is a more biblical and Jesus centered perspective. While I have read the words Jesus used from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Leviticus 19:18 many times in Scripture‚ I never considered how all His teachings might have stemmed from them. I did not know Jesus had amended the Shema of Judaism because I didn’t know

Jesus Washes the Disciples Feet John 13 (The Message) 1-2 Just before the Passover Feast‚ Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world to go to the Father. Having loved his dear companions‚ he continued to love them right to the end. It was suppertime.

Fatima Meeting Santiago- When I first met Santiago‚ there was something about him. I could not explain it then‚ and I doubt I ever will be able to. His eyes entrapped me‚ and he looked so gentle and sincere I could not help but smile! The way he looked at me was unlike anything else‚ it was almost as if he looked into my soul. We understood what the other was thinking without speaking any words. It was what the strange old man‚ the Alchemist was always talking about‚ the language of the world

SELECTING A DISCIPLE-MAKER’S MESSAGE Introduction Message selection‚ for the disciple-maker‚ is an all-important endeavor. Effective disciple making does not just simply happen. Happenstance cannot be and should not be the modus operandi of one who desires to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People are fragile and the Gospel is powerful. God has entrusted his fragile people with a powerful Gospel message. As people who have been entrusted with such a powerful Gospel‚ we should
