The land of Jesus‚ the Promised Land (one name amongst many) is very well known by our people.

We farmers took care of the land and made it blossom into the beautiful land it is today. Palestine holds amazing beauty that astonishes everyone who sees it. Our hills stretch across the plains with gracious lush sides. In comparison‚ our

Within the story of Beowulf‚ you can find many elements of Christian philosophy: that man only survives through the protection and guidance of God‚ all earthly gifts are given from God‚ and that man is to be meek and unselfish. However‚ Beowulf holds a strong sense of pride within himself at certain points within the story‚ which conflicts with Christian values. We end up seeing pride vs. humility and sacrifice vs. selfishness. When at the celebration Hrothgar reminds Beowulf of the lessons of the

The protagonist‚ Arthur‚ is portrayed as a Christ figure in three ways: as a king who desires law and order‚ as a king with questioned paternity‚ and as a king who was betrayed. Throughout Arthur’s life‚ he exemplified characteristics that are very similar to Christ‚ one of these being the desire for law and order. Arthur established order by defeating

CHRIST IMPACT ON MY LIFE Gary English Literature II April 7‚ 2013 CHRIST IMPACT ON MY LIFE How Christ has impacted my life is not really the question to ask.

While half of marriages end up in divorce‚ only a small number of 15 percent of Christian or Christ like marriages ends in divorce. There are many aspects of marriage. Some aspects of marriage would

the opportunity to interact with Jesus we shouldn’t hesitate to take this opportunity because you never know when it will be gone. Bartimaeus knew this. When Jesus called to him‚ he didn’t wait to come to Jesus but rather he “threw aside his cloak‚ sprang up‚ and came to Jesus” (v. 50). Bartimaeus didn’t wait to get up after being called. He didn’t finish what he was doing before allowing time to go see Jesus. Bartimaeus took the opportunity he had to talk to Jesus and God because he knew that his
