Due to the major misunderstanding about youth today I made a goal to better inform young adults in the choices they make to have unsafe sex. My main reasons for this [...]

The recurring formula that occurs in Judges is one that restores hope. Like many stories that occur in the Bible, one occurrence is after forty years a new generation of Israel is born and of course they looses sight of God. Due to their lack in faith God must punish them and most likely through [...]

My project is at somewhat of a standstill. I do have a lot of great ideas on how to fully get the project mobilized but I also have a very busy school schedule. I think that I can still reach more students on campus and talk to them about better decision making. Some progress I [...]

I would first like to thank Denika for commenting on my project. I agree that getting tested is extremely important. Although I have posted everything late, I have been working on my project throughout the semester, and I have learned that a lot of people are indeed scared of being tested. When the group and [...]

The image I chose is a drawing of a family. Since this is theology, I decided it might have more of a Godly type theme. This picture basically is my mission for young adult at my school. After you receive your education and create a life for yourself I think that is the right time [...]

Human creation stories we discussed in class would be that of Enuma Elish and Atum. Both deal with destruction and are compared to the story of creation in Genesis. The major difference is that Genesis is a story of creation and does not involve death. The story of Atum is the one I find most [...]

After Jesus’ Resurrection the church was going through three major problems. The observance of dietary and circumcision laws became very controversial, and corruption also began to infiltrate the church. In acts Jesus left behind the command to his disciples to be witnesses “in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of [...]

During the day the children are involved in several activities and sometimes are assigned schoolwork. The children are interacting well with each other and seem to enjoy being at the school. In addition [...]

The recurring formula in the book of Judges is god using someone, a judge, to save the Israelites when they are punished for worshiping new gods instead of God almighty. There were six major judges: Othniel, Ehud, Deborah, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson. The Israelites were punished by being captured and ruled by foreign [...]

They were looked upon in order to explain dreams and reason activities. They even were called upon [...]
