The Mystical Politics of Jesus: An Ode to Kristofferson’s Song‚ “Jesus Was a Capricorn” By Ricky Vinson Addressing the provocative Kris Kristofferson song “Jesus Was a Capricorn‚” I will mention the mere title of another like-themed song‚ “I Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’ To Die Rag‚” performed by folk-rock-political musician Country Joe McDonald at the historically pivotal Woodstock Festival‚ August 1969—simply to serve as food thought‚ no distraction intended.

Jesus Is Our Spiritual Foundations The term “foundation” has been borrowed from the language of building and achitecture. It refers to the very first thing we do in build—we prepare a solid and stable support for the superstucture. Since the foundation bears the weight of the entire structure‚ it must be done well.

computer screen for almost half an hour just wondering how to start answering this question. Who is Jesus Christ for me? Having spent three years in a catholic school‚ joined various church choirs‚ and yes‚ even religious organizations like the Youth for Christ‚ it was only now that I answer this question with deep thought and reflection.

"Dead Man Walking" The film "Dead Man Walking" raised an important ethical issue about whether a convicted criminal on death row should be allowed to have a spiritual advisor. I think the moral issue of the movie revolves around whether a spiritual advisor‚ such as a nun‚ should lend comfort or support to a death row inmate‚ such as Matthew Poncelet. I think the issue is important because it involves the responsibility of the spiritual advisor‚ the salvation and redemption of the criminal‚ and

After walking around the museum for a while‚ I saw a lot of unbelievable works of art.

In the traditional song‚ "Jesus Paid it All"‚ it says "Jesus paid it all‚ all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain‚ He washed it white as snow." Tonight‚ I was thinking about that song and the small five-word phrase really jumped out at me: All to Him I Owe.
