...have everlasting life"( John 3:16). Nowadays, we think that money, sex, power and career is very important in our life. Did we ever consider the love of our God for us? Did we even know how Jesus, the Son of God died for our sins? Our faith in God is the most important thing in life, because no one in this world can judge us but Him, our Creator. There was a time in my life when I questioned God of how people just abandoned me like I wasn't that important. But, when my friend shared the gospel, faith came alive on the inside of me. We prayed, and we confessed Jesus as Lord. What we are confessing gives me a good idea in what I have faith in. I was transformed. Nothing changed on the outside , but I had assurance. I had faith on the inside. Faith changes us on the inside first. God wants us to get faith in Him so our hearts will change. Our faith in God has to do with our heart, and God cares about our hearts. For us to enjoy new blessings, we need new training - that training is called faith. Taking a guy who grew up in a very poor town his whole life, and let him move in a grand mansion surrounded by technology and limitless food. The guy would mess up the place. He won't know how to use the high tech things. He would overdose on the food. He won't even sleep on the king size bed, but he will sleep on the concrete floor. Unless we get trained on the inside, we cannot enjoy the new stuff God has already given us through the cross. Before we can enjoy the new blessings...

...As a child my mother would always play 90’s R&B or rap in the house all hours of the day. Most would say you enjoy it because you grew up on it. That’s not the case I ventured out into other types of music and always came back. My querencia would have to be music. The genre that I enjoy the most and I have never lost interest in is Rap/Hip-Hop. I mostly listen to underground Rap/Hip-Hop. Most people immediately ask if I listen to the stuff rap that is played on the radio. I always have to explain to them that they are not the same at all. Most underground or independent Rap/Hip-Hop artists have 100% control over their lyrics and what type of beats are produced. In my opinion most underground rappers could sell out and become a well-known radio...

...employees. 2. One limitation of a monetary reward is that it doesn’t develop the skills of an employee. Sure every employee would enjoy some sort of a monetary reward but how does that help the employer have a more skilled employee? If you want your business or company to develop and be more successful, you must develop the skills of your employees, monetary rewards don’t necessarily do that. A second limitation is that monetary rewards don’t always improve the job quality. Just because you receive a monetary reward it will not change your boss if you don’t like them or the city you work in that you may not enjoy. The last main limitation of monetary rewards is that they do not discourage unethical behavior. If employees don’t have high morals then they will find the easiest way to receive extra money and if you can constantly receive a monetary reward then unethical behavior is never discouraged. 3. 1. Define and measure performance accurately – You must emphasize on what goals the employees should be trying to achieve. Once the goals of the organization are clearly communicated, employers must determine a way to measure an employees’ performance and communicate on how well the goals are being met. 2. Make rewards contingent on performance – Don’t give out rewards that may not be relevant to job performance, one example of what not to do is how teachers, in Texas public schools, are given a raise for how many years they have been...

...large portion of one’s life is spent working to become successful. People are told throughout childhood to work hard so they can grow up and make lots of money. But success takes many different forms. Different people have different interpretations of what success means to them. For some, success is measured by social status and wealth; for others success is determined only by the amount of happiness one feels. Money is the main concern for some people. It is a crucial necessity for anyone who is trying to succeed in life. Many believe that the only way to succeed is to have a lot of money. For this type of person, achieving success starts with going to a good college. It is a competitive job market and if one wants a high paying job he needs some college credentials. College is also said to prepare people to take on the world. Once one has graduated and has a well-paying job he is on his way to becoming successful. People work their whole lives making money so they can satisfy their desires. The idea of being able to purchase the items one has always dreamt about is an achievement. People dream about owning a home and having beautiful things to fill it with. Many people take pride in what they possess. People want to own nice homes, nice cars, and nice clothes. Some need to look successful in order to feel successful. These people feel successful when they can admire what their hard work has given them. For some, happiness is all that matters. Happiness is achieved...

...Feeling the weight of the truest of love was all it took to open my eyes to see the light of His glory. Knowing that great love as the truest of all truths was all it took to compel my soul, heart, mind, and body to surrender everything to Him and to Him alone; because that day was the day when I fell truly in love for the very first time – when nothing else matters more. The journey is rough but this is the journey that is worth fighting for. I make many mistakes that shame me and, especially, my Lord. I can never be perfect on my own. There were times that I doubt His goodness as if His promises weren’t enough. But the more I felt that way, the more I needed Him. “But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:” (Rom 5.20b). His word will always stand to comfort and to give strength in ways one cannot expect or imagine. He always makes way to pull me back to His merciful arms. I will always have the choice of living my life the way I want to. I may not live for another five or ten years. I may not reach the age of 40 or 80. I may choose to enjoy life as I used to with no burdens or worries. If I allow myself to enjoy life, I wouldn’t have to worry about my family’s salvation, the ministry, and the souls of the people around me. But if I choose to...

...“What gives you pleasure?” and “What makes you feel good?” Those are questions I don’t really often ask myself. It’s not like they are hard questions but to me in actuality they are. I always wonder with these types of questions if I am giving the right answer or if there is even a right answer. I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer in general. The best answer is the one you give. We all have our own definition of pleasure and what makes us feel good. What brings me the most pleasure and makes me feel good first and foremost are my kids. I was told I would never be able to have kids, but God has blessed me with two beautiful girls. I enjoy all my time with them both. I guess you could also say that being a mom also brings me pleasure and makes me feel good. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else in the world. I never pictured myself the mother type but it suits me. Being a mom to my girls is something that brings me joy; makes my heart swell up with pride just knowing that I made those girls and they love me no matter what. Of course other things in this world bring me pleasure and make me feel good. Things such as friends and family, music, sweets like chocolate, and big bear hugs. I love having an intimate relationship with my best friend; it gives me no greater pleasure to know that I am sharing my life forever with him. I also enjoy jumping in my car and going for a ride with the windows down and music blasting, not a care in the world and nowhere to be. I have...

...ROAD, MARACAS, ST. JOSEPH. My personal philosophy of life An Assignment Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course EDTE 354-02 Philosophy for Education INSTRUCTOR: Mr. Clifton Pryce By Leslie Justin – 2013080340 December 3rd, 2015 Approval……………….. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary philosophy is defined as “the study of ideas about knowledge, truth, the nature and meaning of life, etc” or “a particular set of ideas about knowledge, truth, the nature and meaning of life, etc.” or “a set of ideas about how to do something or how to live.” Having a personal philosophy and knowing what your philosophy is can be essential as your philosophy determines your focus, and your focus determines your actions and actions determine your result. Although some people who maybe think the same or operate the same might have a similar philosophy no two people view life the exact same. Everyone’s philosophy of life is distinct to them because your philosophy will vary depending on your life experiences, the way your parents trained you and little things that you’ve picked up on your own. Because our personal philosophy of life depends on these thing I believe that our philosophy can change at any time and then change again. Although I am only 19 and would consider that I still have my whole life ahead of me, I still think that I have a philosophy of life currently. In my younger days though I may not have known...

...Persuasive Speech 11/18/13 * How many of you think that the government should get rid of capital punishment? I believe that it should be kept because it benefits the U.S. Here is my point of view, if you take someone’s life what gives you the right to enjoy the gift of living? I believe that if there is strong evidence, and you are not mentally insane and authorities know for sure that a person has committed murder, there should be a penalty involved. The Bible says that if a person should murder, they should deserve to lose their life also. I believe in the death penalty because it eliminates criminals who commit horrific murders, it gives closure to many who have been affected by those criminals, and it also provides more space in jail and prisons. Today, I strongly believe that our consequences are a joke and that is why killing sprees are getting worse and more violent. It’s some people out here that enjoys killing people like serial killers, which they need to be stopped. A person’s religious matter might prevent them from supporting capital punishment. This is why some judges sentence murderers or serial killers to life in prison or a even lesser punishment with parole. Just giving them a life sentence is overcrowding prisons. I don’t think we should reward murderers by keeping them alive and feeding them. While the family of the victim forever mourns. Another thing that I think is dumb is to let them out for good behavior. They can kill again when they get...

...What does life means? Life, for me, is the most precious thing that everyone has the opportunity to have. According to Mother Teresa, “life is an opportunity; life is precious”. She gave life fifteen wonderful meanings but I totally admire the latter two simply because life is as precious as we are. God given us this life we have now. No matter how hard or easy to handle it, we should treasure such a precious gift from God. Life is then priceless and freely given. We don’t need to demand for it. Life is just up there waiting for us. It’s only up to us if we claim it or not. Upon claiming it, how do we view life then? How should it be and why would it be? Do we need to be the same in viewing life or it would be our own choice? If I were to ask, it would be our choice. Life as I view it is like a book. No matter how quick you turn the pages, for you to learn, you would probably go back and read completely. In life, no matter how you want to escape from your problems, you would not be able to do it. Whether you like it or not, you need to face whatever your problem is. Just challenge yourself as life is full of challenges. Who would say that living is easy? Yes, it is happy to live. But life is a challenge and is not absolutely easy. Of course, to give up is not the solution. Life must go on no matter what happen. Lewis Carroll says that “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” So it’s better to just ride on it as life is also a journey. We do have...
