“What am I here for?”. People frequently fail to realize that God is not living for us but rather we are living for God. This indicates that we ought not to figure out our purpose for ourselves but ask God to show us his purpose for our lives. The bible states everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. We don’t genuinely start living until we figure out God’s purpose for us. Moreover, humans are very self-conscious creatures; we often think “my nose is too big:” or “my lips are too

In early March 2011, my canon included the Holy Bible and the Johns Hopkins Family Health Book. I have always enjoyed reading but never really delve into reading the works of famous writers.

I drank, partied, and did whatever I was bold enough to do regardless of the consequences. My actions cost me three

naturally that racism is not justified towards anyone because we are all created equal. The question I would like to pose for this research project is, “What does the Bible say about racism?” First, the Bible says, “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (NLT Study Bible, Gen. 1:27). In the beginning of the Old Testament, Genesis says clearly that God created us in his own image. God created only male and female, but He did not

There ae several examples in the bible that display the “us versus them” mentality. Sadly, many Christians criticize what the bible say and pamper the world’s perspective, which ultimately creates an “us versus them” situation. In 1 John 4:5-6 states “They are of the world. Therefore, they speak as of the world, and the world hears. We are of God he who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. In this scripture, I believe the apostle John was exemplifying an example of the “us versus

Who was Melchizedek? Genesis 14:18 The question of “who was Melchizedek?” is a mystery which has never fully been answered or solved. We do know that Genesis 14:18 says that “Melchizedek was king of Salem” and “was the priest of God Most High.” Does this verse give enough information to determine just who he was; after all there is no genealogy for him. Various theories suggest who Melchizedek may have been, and all accounts are relatively similar. We will concentrate on three different commentaries
