...hymnal can still be found in the pew pocket. However, there are many who know most of them by heart. The song leader leads the congregation like a choir in singing everything from Amazing Grace to Zion Haste, accompanied by a pianist and an organist. There will always be a "special," just before the message, referring to a | | solo or small group musical presentation or perhaps even the choir. A Southern styled gospel quartet fits very well into this type of venue. Message: With his suit and tie uniform looking every bit the man of God he is, the pastor preaches a sermon from the Word of God to a spiritually hungry congregation. Regardless of the topic of the hour, the conclusion of every message will contain the plan of salvation. Doubtless, a hymn of invitation will be sung at the conclusion to invite sinners to come and kneel at an old fashioned altar to do business with God. As the hymn, "Just as I Am" is sung (or a similar hymn of invitation), those who respond to the calling of God's Spirit are met by personal workers up front who pray with them if needed. Souls are saved and lives are changed. | - THE CONTEMPORARY SERVICE Music: Two electric six-string guitars, a bass guitar, a digital electronic keyboard, and a set of drums flank the pulpit. The choruses are flashed up on to the angled walls to the sides of the stage. A congregation of younger people stand to their feet and enthusiastically sing out their worship to God accompanied by hand-clapping...

Here are course-specific guidelines: * TO/FROM/DATE/RE should be like this example. A line should separate the header from the body, and Global Business Strategy Course memo should appear in the upper right as in the example. * The TO is as specified, the FROM is your name, the DATE is the date due * You should initial (in pen) by your name. * The RE line may be no more than 2 lines, and it should give the answer to the question or clearly state the point of the memo. * Give the conclusion first; write anticlimactically. * Use bullets or bolding, or some other method to facilitate skim reading. * Avoid spelling or grammar errors.

...heard my Grandfather’s voice calling my name. When I rolled over, he was standing there in my room. He said, “Kevie, you be good and take care of your mother.” And then he was gone. After many more experiences of this kind, I have come to the conclusion a person’s soul does go on after death. How this is possible, however, I have not yet come to a reasonable conclusion other than our bodies are merely a vessel we use for time. Epistemology My daughter once asked me, “Dad, how do you know so much?” This question, for some reason, made me stop and think for a moment. How did I know or have the knowledge of the things I spoke of or acted upon? The conclusion I came to was I had the knowledge through several ways. Some knowledge was gained by life experience, while another bit of knowledge was gained by a teaching of some sort. My Grandfather teaching me about engines and how to work on them is an example. Ethics Over my nine years in law enforcement, I have been asked or “hinted” to do, say or act in a way I felt was wrong. I often would ask myself “What is the right thing to do?” I would be asked to plant evidence. To lie in court or on a report to make the person seem guiltier than the evidence already showed. I always came to the conclusion of what the right thing was to do. I would not lie in court....

...argument essay to be effective, it must contain certain elements. For this reason, you must take a few minutes to plan before you jump into writing an argument essay. Find a Good Topic To find good topic for an argument essay you should consider several issues that will have two conflicting points of view or very different conclusions. As you look over a list of topics you should find one that really sparks your interest. While a strong interest in a topic is important, it's not enough. You next have to consider what position you can back up with reasoning. It's one thing to have a strong belief, but when shaping an argument you'll have to explain why your belief is reasonable and logical. As you explore the topics, make a mental list of points you could use as evidence for or against an issue. Consider Both Sides of Your Topic and Take a Position Once you have selected a topic you feel strongly about, you should make a list of points for both sides of the argument. One of your first objectives in your essay will be to present both sides of your issue with an assessment of each. Of course, you will conclude that one side (your side) is the best conclusion. In the planning stage you will need to consider strong arguments for the "other" side. Then you'll shoot them down! Gather Evidence When we think of arguments we might picture two red-faced people speaking quite loudly and making dramatic gestures. But that's because face-to-face arguments often become emotional. In fact...

...ACADEMIC WRITING Centre for Teaching and Learning Signpost words and phrases Having researched your topic in preparation for writing an essay, you will probably have accumulated a wide range of facts, published research, and other information relevant to the topic. Many people simply throw these facts together in body paragraphs, without properly applying them to the topic or signalling to the reader the connections between them. Simply adding a few connecting words – known as “signposts” – make it much more readable: Incorporation offers several advantages to businesses and their owners. For one thing, ownership is easy to transfer. The business is able to maintain a continuous existence even when the original owners are no longer involved (Brown, 1999). In addition, the stockholders of a corporation are not held responsible for the business's debts (Henry, 2009). If the XYZ Corporation defaults on a $1 million loan, for instance, its investors will not be held responsible for paying that liability. Incorporation also enables a business to obtain professional managers with centralised authority and responsibility; therefore, the business can be run more efficiently (Schwartz, 2010). Finally, incorporation gives a business certain legal rights . For example, it can enter into contracts, own property, and borrow money (Brown, 1999). Transitions show the reader the “movement” between ideas/points. They show that the ideas follow a logical order and build on each other, creating...

...Economics essay: short guidelines BBA 2012-2013, D. Besson Topics: The topic of the Economics essay is to be chosen by taking in consideration your centres of interest and also your professional or next year(s) studying project. A priori, there are no restrictions in the kind of the subject. Any subject is acceptable, if not too broad (that would be impossible to treat in the limited scope of an essay) neither too specific (for the bibliographical references could be too difficult to find). Of course, it must be a topic in Economics, either micro (study of one or several firms in an industry in (set of) countries, for example) or macro (the Economic development of a market, of an industry, or an economic area). Some social phenomenons can be analyzed from an economic point of view (life styles and consumption; demography and labor market; for examples). Your subject can be linked with your dissertation topic (or, at today, the domain you consider you could cover in your dissertation), but of course it’s not an obligation. I remind you that you must submit me your topic for my agreement. Indicative length: It’s not easy to give a precise indication, as it depends of the subject. Some subjects need more long descriptions, and some other ones, more synthetic and/or more theoretical, require less length. As an indication, I can say that under 10 pages (around 3500 words) it’s impossible to make a good essay. More than 25 pages (9000 words) would certainly be too long for the quantity...

...Journal of Business and Education Leadership. Pg. 104) A study was done at Robert Morris University in Western Pennsylvania to determine what students felt was acceptable in both online learning and the actual classroom, how easy it was to cheat, and what could be done to discourage it more. “As a recent experience at Harvard demonstrates, maintaining academic integrity is a problem in the classroom as well as in the online setting.” (Swartz & Cole. Journal of Business and Education Leadership. Pg. 103) Students from several business courses with differing demographics were surveyed. The goal of the study was to identify the problems and see what accountability tools could be put into place to promote more integrity in the students. At the conclusion of the study, it was determined to make students well aware of what academic integrity is and why it is important to their success as a student along with help for instructors to hold students more accountable.

...“For the Watch” It was about two years ago, but I still remember it clearly. The night was late, I was sleepy, and I had work the next morning. Still, I couldn’t stop reading; I had three chapters left in George R. R. Martin’s sprawling fifth book A Dance with Dragons. Plot twists were being revealed, bombshells were being dropped, and Cersei just took an infamous walk. I simply couldn’t hold off reading, so I turn the page to the book’s final Jon chapter. It’s a chapter filled with tension and uncertainty due to the arrival of droves of wildings to the Wall, and on the chapter’s last page “For the Watch” happens. As Jon succumbed to his injuries, I threw my book across the room in a fit of rage and shock; cursing George for smashing his readers’ emotions. Ever since that time, I was looking forward to see that iconic book moment adapted to screen so that TV viewers would go through the same blood-boiling frustration (a reaction that has become a trademark of Game of Thrones). Finally, the moment arrived this week and it was equally brutal as the book counterpart. The show’s fifth season ended in a bang with the shocking and sad death of Jon Snow concluding an eventful finale that was filled with defeat, backstabbing, confrontations, and one particularly memorable atonement. One after the other, the brothers of the Night’s Watch buried their daggers in Jon. What an ugly and despicable betrayal that was! But what was uglier was their petty motivation. Their hatred towards...
