...accident or by desire, then he or she will not be in God’s will. They can still be happy, but will not have God’s best. However, those who marry the wrong person also risk the possibility of divorce. Christians often feel that couples get divorced because they have married the wrong person. Are all these beliefs true? Are these principles what the Bible teaches? The answer is no. They are not true and the Bible nowhere teaches these views. "Is he or she the right one?" is the wrong question to ask. "Is he or she the right one?" is the wrong question to ask. The right question, which the Scriptures teach is this one, “Is he or she the right kind of person to marry?" Prov.18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds what is good, and receives favor from the Lord." In other words, it is good for a man to find a woman and get married. The converse is true as well. It is good for a woman to find a man and be married as well. This means that getting married is beneficial and a blessing for humans. However, it is not just marrying any woman or man, but the right kind of woman or man. Prov.19:14 says, "A prudent wife is from the Lord." That is, if you want a wife that is from the Lord (i.e. the Lord’s will), find a prudent one (one with discernment and self-control)....

...perfect society” but he believes that, “[it] is built upon mutual trust” He is an Indian spiritual leader who knows “character is the source of that trust,". What does trust even mean? Trust is a firm belief in truth, strength, and reliability of someone or something. You need trust in order to tell someone a secret or you need trust on someone who is running the government. That is what we need. Trust helps people communicate and bond with with each other. Doubt is the opposite and can lead to chaos and instead of people working together, they woild be fighting against each other. If a ruler tries to enforce a rule about trusting and bonding, how would that make a difference to the society? See the problem with that, is that everyone is unique and different. That's what makes the world how it is now. It's made of different cultures, religions, languages and different skin...

...Friendship Friendship in the English dictionary means” the state of being a friend; association as friends, a friendly relation or intimacy.” We all have friends, but how many of them are considered true friendship? Friendship is not just having a lot of friends. It is like having a family member. Friendship in my dictionary is my childhood friend who I grew up with when we were in kindergarten, a friend who is a part of my family who my mom knows who. To establish a healthy strong friendship, there are basic aspects that relationship should be built on, which are trust, honesty and loyalty. Trust in friendship means you have the ability and confide in your friend and be positive about the consequences. Trusting a person means you believe that person will be wise and won’t tell anyone what you told him or her, and when they give you advice you can trust him or her. Trust means that the person would never hurt you. We all need someone with whom we can share our thoughts, feelings, and frustrations, sharing our deepest secrets without worrying that those secrets will end up reveal to others. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no negative thought, no turning away. From my personal experience with trust, I wasn’t doing great in school so, I needed a person who listens and I can trust not worrying being my personal feelings will reveal. Honesty is the second base in true friendship. Honesty is a prerequisite to the true friends' relationship...

...Being a True Believer In God Faith is defined as “complete trust or confidence in something or someone”. So what does it mean to have faith in God and in turn how does this faith make itself present in our everyday lives? These are questions that have been addressed by countless authors and poets of history. To fully invest one’s self into the belief of God and to truly call themselves a believer of God, a person must trust, or have faith, in God’s will, power, and plan. It is this faith that God will provide and protect that proves time and again to be an essential part of being a true believer. Authors like John Steinbeck and Robert Bolt have used this faith as essential themes in their greatest works The Grapes of Wrath and A Man for all Seasons. Steinbeck and Bolt both portray what it means to be a believer in God through their main character’s actions and beliefs. John Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath, portrays life of migrants during the time of the dust bowl and specifically focuses on the migrant family, the Joads. These migrants and their families are traveling westward to California, looking for new opportunities to improve their lives and to provide for their families. On their journey the Joad family encounters death, homelessness, starvation, and extreme poverty that they never expected when starting out on their trip. Every member of the family is extremely affected by these images but none more than Jim Casey, a preacher and friend of the family. At the...

Education is such a great encouraging and life altering career which offers me many opportunities to live a proficient way that does not only honors God, but shows unbelievers and believers God’s lasting love. Educators are planned professionals motivated on teaching our children. Teachers are also good at helping heal the children, and sometimes it heals ourselves. As we were created in the image of God who is a great teacher, he gives us the capability to heal and teach trust to children and people in the name of Jesus. As being a teacher, I have the exceptional pleasure of touching lives on a profound and personal level. Integrity and dependability are two things that will allow me to assist others through my profession and worshiping our AMAZING GOD!!!!. Integrity Integrity is the excellence of being truthful and obligating strong ethical values. To be ethically standing defines our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I know that my Jesus, “He never sinned, and he never told a lie.” (1 Peter 2:22). I was created in the image of my savior that spoke truth and kept His word. A teacher needs to have integrity and confident to be a supreme teacher. Teachers should desire to keep their promises and avoid foolish or undecided commitments. When I create trust with these children, by keeping my word,...

In line with this, many would assume that Abraham possesses a virtuous character, as many perceive faith to be a virtue.

...by saying what they mean, and how we should interpret it. You can say it is like a lesson study, which helps people who are confused. | Decrypting the Encrypted | The Bible contains many controversial verses in it. This does not mean that they are not the truth. Today we are going to examine the context of five controversial Bible verses in order to see what is actually being said, either metaphorically, allegorically or literally. Before you continue reading all the verses are quoted from the NIV. * Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.” Does Jesus really mean that we should hate our parents, our siblings, and our children? What is He saying? Jesus was speaking to the crowd about discipleship. He was stressing the importance of putting God first above everyone, including family. Humans have a tendency to idolize their family and so he was saying that anyone that would become Jesus’ disciple must count the cost and it is supremely high and if a believer is to trust in Christ, they should renounce everyone and everything for His sake, even family. When Jesus was speaking to the crowd one man told him that his mother and brothers wanted to see Him but Jesus said “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of...

...Now My Assignment was draw some signs that represent me, what’s important to me.... And to write what they mean to me. So I did the first part and I would like to point out that it turned out semi-good. :) So Now I'm doing this part (Or have done since if you’re reading this it'll probably already be done..... So yeah... ONWARDS!!!!!!!!!) Okay so my first symbol was some hands. What In The world could hands mean??? It could mean love or Family but to me it means friendship. What??? How??? Well if the person Is your true friend they will forever hold on. They would go through the ups and every-single-one of the downs just to stay your friend. That's why I drew hands, because hands are forever holding on to something... anything just to hold on. But The Next Symbol Is A Little Confusing I Think. It's a broken heart. That Means That I've been heartbroken before right? Nope. Never. Well there was this one time with this one kid but that was so long ago I don't even remember kids name (actually I Do but Whatever!) But actually the broken heart means Love. Yeah... Told You confusing. It's supposed to say all the things that you love will sometimes hurt you. And sometimes you just have to patch it up and move on! The Sun. That should be an easy one right? It means bright right??? Nope it's supposed to represent a smile. Because I have a friend that will rarely smile but when he does its lights up the room (Or the sky... hey like the sun XP) It is always nice to be the one to make...

...Define Trust and What Role does It Play in Your Life To define trust, I guess you would start with what it is, what it means, and how would it be used, like perhaps to barrow something from a friend. It is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, or strength of something or something. Also, confidence can be placed into a person. So to judge by trust to me is a big deal and very hard to get back, if I don't know you why would you trust me and vice versa. Building friendships for me is based almost entirely on trust; just like once a thief always a thief. To get trust of someone, you must at least respect the person your seeking the trust from.
