...Reflection Paper-THEO 104 I. Introduction By and large humans are inquisitive by nature. Fields of study such as oceanography, space exploration, scientific research, medical advances, and higher education would not be a reality if man was not curious to comprehend the planet we inhibit. We also recognize authority and the need for order in the midst of chaos. There is a probing nature in the heart of man which was imparted by God about Himself. In truth, Romans 1:19 states “because the thing which can be known about God is evident in them, because God made it known to them.” Having stated this, I’d like to explore the following three questions: Does the Bible have authority? How do arguments for the existence of God influence your view of the supernatural? How can we be confident Jesus is returning? The intention of this paper is to answer these questions clearly and concisely to empower the reader to" be “without excuse” Romans 1:20. II. Does the Bible have authority? Being a recently retired military member, while wearing the cloth of our nation, I as well as other service members were invisibly ruled by written regulations that are authoritative and directive. We would often hear the phrase ‘read and heed’ when a regulation would be outdated. The Bible however is God’s living word, not man’s instruction that can be superseded several times over. Hebrews 4:12 declares: "For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful (to be effective and active), and sharper than...

...Martha Belton Reflection Paper Theology 104 Introduction What can your local Church do to better communicate God’s love to your community? Does the Bible have authority? Did Jesus claim to be God? These are three topics I choose because it was very interesting to me when we talk about Jesus Christ, as our savior. A person living as a Christian should have a good attitude about their self, they should have a caring, loving and forgiving people who does God love. What can your local Church do to better communicate God’s love to your community? I think Church’s has responsibilities to spread the gospel to everyone As Christians we need to know that it was God’s grace and mercy that saved us. Church should not focus on the bad and wrong, but focus good potential in the people and community. The church membership and leadership in our community should embrace diversity without regards of labeling people. The church should not stop people from participation in any church functions, but it should not be limited to race, mental and physical health, gender and age etc. The problem churches have in today world they have to change from contemporary to modern to meet the need of people without them losing what the mission of church is for. Christianity is the most misunderstood religion in the world. The reason for the misunderstanding is the lies and the lack of stability in the church and the community. Christians are bound by the blood that was shed for us by the son of God...

...Beverly Aguilar Professor Daniel Brown Theo 104 4/18/2015 Biblical Worldview “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen 1-1). God made the world out of his own image. God creates man and woman, which are Adam and Eve. With many plans for us human beings, like for man and woman to be fruitful here on earth but sin came along which led to a sinful world and the death of the human race. God’s creation of the living world was designed for his own glory and because he desired to share his life with others. The beginning of the world is a plan of the power, love, and goodness of him. His purpose was to create a natural world were man could follow and glorify him. Thus, the biblical worldview of today’s life is that half of the human race that he has created does not glorify him, just as he had intended it to be. The human race of today’s time and even of thousands of years ago does not obey God’s will. He created man so that we can follow and learn from him. The world we live in was intended for his own glory and because he desired to share his life with each and every one of us. The creation of the world is an example of the power, love, and goodness of God. As someone who is majoring in business administration in communications, I would use my beliefs to glorify our Lord by learning his ways of interacting with others. This is how I would communicate in my position as someone with a business degree. Most importantly with integrity just as Jesus did. ...

...however, or perhaps because of the way they lend themselves to both oversimplification (unfinished sur faces) and open- ended abstract ion (“Memorabilit y as an Image”), Brutalism is often employed today as nothing more than a vague epithet lobbed at vast expanses of postwar institutional building; its associations with art practice are, more frequently than not, left out entirely. The purpose of dedicating this issue to New Brutalism, then, is both to reconsider its theses and to reevaluate its work and writings, while at the same time amending and supplementing earlier histories of the moment, which have emphasized the pop aspects of the work. 2 In doing so, we hope to recapture something of New Brutalism’s latent critical potential. As Theo Crosby wrote in the January 1955 issue of Architectural Design, New Brutalism positioned itself against the “contemporary”—“its veneer of ‘modern’ 1. Alison and Peter Smithson, “House in Soho, London,” Architectural Design (December 1953), p. 342; and Reyner Banham, “The New Brutalism,” Architectural Review 118 (December 1955), pp. 354–61, both of which are reprinted in this issue. Banham later expanded his essay in The New...

...I. Introduction Over the course of the last few weeks, this theology class has discussed several topics that have been very helpful, insightful and eye opening in my Christian walk. I have learned many new things and have gone deeper in my understanding of the things I already knew. In this paper, I would like to discuss three topics that I found to be the most interesting: * Why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel? * If a person is a Christian, does it matter how they live their life? * What can your local church do to better communicate God’s love to your community? The Bible has all the answers. We must study this awesome book to find the answers to the very questions we ask. II. Personal Testimonies Personal testimonies are important in sharing the gospel because they tell what God is doing in people’s lives. Sharing the gospel is a way of sharing God’s good works and a way of meeting people where they are, to try to help them. People can read the Bible, have questions, and seek guidance from others, preferably more mature Christians; however, sometimes the Bible in general is hard to relate to until we hear statements from someone we know and trust. “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20, TNIV). It is easier to reach others when they can relate to a real person and it is a great...

...1 The Foundations of International Society 2013-2014 Part I: Politics 2 (International Relations I) Paper organiser: Professor Christopher Hill (POLIS): Room 105, Alison Richard Building Email: cjh68@cam.ac.uk Lecturers: Professor Hill (CH), Dr Elisabetta Brighi (EB), Dr Aaron Rapport (AR) and Dr Stefano Recchia (SR). Aims and Objectives The course aims to introduce students to the subject of International Relations (IR), whose main focus is the nature of politics at the international level. Students will acquire the empirical and conceptual foundations needed to understand a world political system which cannot be accurately described as either pure anarchy or a coherent form of ‘global governance’. The starting point is the notion of ‘international society’, which refers to the set of institutions and common procedures generated by states over the last three and a half centuries in their attempts to achieve some minimal form of co-existence, but which has gradually evolved to include many non-state actors and different levels of activity – diplomatic, economic and cultural, as well as that of military competition. By the end of the course you should be able to have an informed discussion about: the historical origins of the present system; what is distinctive about international politics as opposed to politics inside the state; and the main challenges which confront humanity in the twenty-first century. You will also acquire a basic familiarity with the main theories needed...
