...“The Ethics of Living Jim Crow: An Autobiographical Sketch” Richard Wright 1 My first lesson in how to live as a Negro came when I was quite small. We were living in Arkansas. Our house stood behind the railroad tracks. Its skimpy yard was paved with black cinders. Nothing green ever grew in that yard. The only touch of green we could see was far away, beyond the tracks, over where the white folks lived. But cinders were good enough for me, and I never missed the green growing things. And anyhow, cinders were fine weapons. You could always have a nice hot war with huge black cinders. All you had to do was crouch behind the brick pillars of a house with your hands full of gritty ammunition. And the first woolly black head you saw pop out from behind another row of pillars was your target. You tried your very best to knock it off. It was great fun. I never fully realized the appalling disadvantages of a cinder environment till one day the gang to which I belonged found itself engaged in a war with the white boys who lived beyond the tracks. As usual we laid down our cinder barrage, thinking that this would wipe the white boys out. But they replied with a steady bombardment of broken bottles. We doubled our cinder barrage, but they hid behind trees, hedges, and the sloping embankments of their lawns. Having no such fortifications, we retreated to the brick pillars of our homes. During the retreat a broken milk bottle caught me behind the ear, opening a deep gash which bled...

...Chris Newman Michael Ritter REL124 16 December 2012 David: Hero, King and Prophet There is no doubt that King David is one of the most outstanding biblical and historical figures, who also inspired artists of all epochs to make him a hero of their work. His role was special as the second King of Israel and as a human ancestor of Jesus Christ. Thus, one can state for sure that this personality is of great importance both for Judaism and Christianity and embodies devotion to God and the idea of authority blessed by God as well. Most of information on David can be found in the Books of Samuel and Ruth. Historically, David was one of eight sons of Jesse, who in his turn descended from Judas. In the Old Testament books, it is mentioned that he was handsome, physically strong, had red hair and was an outstanding musician. He started by helping his father to care about the herd and quite succeeds in doing so. Even at a young age, he demonstrates courage as a shepherd when a lion and bear attack the herd. He conquers in the battle with beasts, for which he gains his first glory. In fact, it should be mentioned, that being a shepherd is more than a narrative element which is mentioned in the Bible. In fact, this role of David is foreshadowing his future position of Israeli ruler. In the scriptures, a shepherd is often a positive idea that implies being in charge of people. Even God has been compared to a shepherd not once like for instance in the following passage: ‘Then he blessed...

For centuries people have been intrigued and captivated by the stories of powerful leaders throughout the history of the world. Powerful leaders such as The Great Pharaohs of Egypt and Chinese emperor Qín Shǐ Huáng continue to capture our attention. Even mystical stories or legends about great kings, such as the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, still have an incredibly firm grasp on our curiosity. One of the most popular and powerful kings ruled over 3,000 years ago. The story of the great ruler of Israel, King David, has continuously been a measuring stick by which leaders are measured and compared to. King David’s impact was not only present during his time period but is still evident now, in our very lives. What about David makes his life so interesting? What made him such a great leader that people still study his life in order to learn more about affective leadership? These are just a couple of the questions people ask to try to understand the cause of the impact that King David made then, and is still making today. One of the very important aspects of King David, that is typically overlooked, is that of his Spiritual gift. Spiritual gifts...

...Summary of the Old Testament Starting with the book of Genesis uses narrative form to tell us God created the universe. God then created man. He created man from his own image. There was Adam and Eve. They were supposed to populate the land and they both disobeyed God words by not listening. Exodus only the first part of the book is a narrative. The genre changes the law in verse 20. The narration picks up 400 years later after Jacob moved to Egypt. God used a burning bush to speak to Moses and inform him that he is the one to deliver the Israelites out of bondage. Moses did not think he could convince the Israelites and Pharaoh that this was God’s command. Moses confronted Pharaoh with ten plagues. The 10th plague began the Passover ritual. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and to Mt Sinai. When they reached Mt. Sinai, God gave the people his commandments or laws. The law taught the Israelites how to have a relationship with God and each other. Leviticus Leviticus uses the genre of law. Israelites are told how and why to have sacrificial offerings. These offerings are broken into three categories. Consecratory offerings were used to dedicate a person or thing to God. Expiatory offering were acknowledge sin. Communal offering were a way for communities to celebrate their thankfulness to God. Numbers Numbers is both the book of narrative and law. Per God’s instructions, Moses took a census of all the Israelites. This help organized them by their...

...that Boaz might take notice of her. Boaz did in fact notice her. Later in an extreme attempt to ensure Boaz was the one to marry Ruth, Naomi told Ruth to go sleep by Boaz so as to seem that she was dishonored and therefore they would have no choice but to marry. Our group saw Naomi as a gentle meddling “pimp daddy” set on marrying off Ruth to ensure a bright future for them both. It was quite an enjoyable skit. Unfortunately, I do not recall the names of the stars in my group with whom we presented the skit. But to those women, it sure was fun! Unholy as it may sound, the word pimp and all, the Bible is full of unholy acts. This leads me to believe that God emphasizes our humanity, our weaknesses, our being prone to faults. King David fell to Bathsheba’s beauty. King Solomon fell to his fame and fortune. Samson fell to Delilah’s charms. My, how the mighty have fallen! And yet God’s compassion is evident throughout their sins…throughout our sins. God does not mean for our sinful nature to have us wallowing in regret and despair. But that we learn from them, conquer over them, and move on because life goes on. The Holy Bible is full of unholy acts to remind us that Jesus did not come for the righteous, but to call the sinners to repent. Even...

...of the Four David Artists Through out the years there were many great artists who created many great works of art, but only four Italian artists really stick out for creating the same piece all with different points of views. These artists were Donatello, Verrocchio, Michelangelo, and Bernini, all of who created a David sculpture. Each one very unique and different. These four artists all stand out in there own individual ways. David who was supposed to be the second king of Israel, killed Goliath with just a sling and a single stone. The story of David and Goliath goes something like this, according to the bible in 1 Samuel 17. “The Philistine army gathered for war against the Israelites. The two armies faced each other on opposite sides of a valley. A Philistine giant named Goliath, would come out in armor and challenge the Israelites to war. The King of Israel who at that time was Saul, and his whole army were scared of Goliath. David who was the youngest son of Jesse, was sent to battle for one simple task, to bring his father back news of his brothers. While there, David heard Goliath shouting and saw the fear that had began to show in the men of Israel. David volunteered himself to fight Goliath, it took sometime for Saul to agree, but finally he gave in. Dressed in his simple tunic, carrying only his staff, slingshot and a pouch full of stones, David approached Goliath. The giant cursed at him, making horrible threats and insults. David said to Goliath...

...The Lord loves his children unconditionally and takes care of them without fail. He only asks for one thing in return and that is love. All God has asked for in return for everything He has done and will do is for us to love Him above everything else. We are supposed to express our love through trust and obedience. God tells the Israelites this when He states, “[Now then] if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” (Exodus 19:5) This was saying that as long as the Israelites had Gods as their king and followed His commands then they would prosper. That is why, during the time of Samuel, God was angered when the people wanted a king on earth; God knew none of the kings chosen would guide the Israelites as they should be and would eventually bring on destruction. Throughout Israel’s history God had provided for them, such as when He provided mana for them to eat while they wandered through the desert. Time and time again the Israelites had chosen to go their own way instead of following the orders God gave. This cycle occurred again during the time of Samuel. During this time the people said, “Give us a king to judge us.” (Samuel 8:6) Even after Samuel had advised the people against having a king appointed, they decided that their way ultimately better than God’s way. God did not fight them, even though He knew the destruction...

...book of Genesis was Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Abraham was considered to be the “Father of Faith and Nations.” Isaac was Abraham and Sarah’s second son and the promise seed from God. Jacob was the son of Isaac and Rebekah, and the twelve tribes of Israel came from his loins. Joseph was Jacob’s and Rachel’s first son and he was considered the favored son of all his brothers and was given the coat of many colors. The book of Genesis, should be studied by everyone that desires to learn about history and the beginning of all mankind. Person: King David The birth of David took place in the town of Bethlehem on 1040 BC and he died on 970 BC in Israel. David's parents were Jesse and Nitzevet.

...14. The word specifically tells us that God does not tempt us. Knowing this, how are we tempted and why? * Idleness * Desires * At our weakest moments * The tempter uses others to tempt us Satan wants to separate us from God. He wants us to feel so weak and helpless so that we begin to lose all faith and trust in the Creator. The tempter wants to lead us astray so that we can fall deeper into sin. Once you’ve sinned, it’s easier to sin again. Temptation is like a seed. If you don’t water it will not grow but if you nourish it, it will surely blossom. We should avoid giving into temptation because the more we give in, the harder it will become to resist it. When David heard the dreadful news that Bathsheba was pregnant, he should have used it as a prompting to repent. Instead, David did what most sinners do when we are ashamed: he tried to...

...Samuel Anoints David as King 1 Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.” 1. Why was he morning? 2 But Samuel asked, “How can I do that? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” “Take a heifer with you,” the Lord replied, “and say that you have come to make a sacrifice to the Lord. 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you which of his sons to anoint for me.” 1. God gives Samuel a plan a. Samuel was a afraid, (If Saul hears about it, he will kill me. b. God Lays out 4 So Samuel did as the Lord instructed. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town came trembling to meet him. “What’s wrong?” they asked. “Do you come in peace?” 1. 5 “Yes,” Samuel replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then Samuel performed the purification rite for Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice, too. 6 When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely this is the Lord’s anointed!” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. TheLord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lordlooks at the heart.” 8 Then Jesse told his son Abinadab to...
