I think that I am helping to improve the world through my project because I am reaching out to our youth.

This semester in Introduction to Biblical Studies, I have learned much about the Bible.

1. Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies.
Well I will like to begin by saying that I have learned a lot from this class being that I wasn’t very familiar with the different ways of interpreting the Bible and how things in the Bible change over time. Dr. Homan made [...]

The bible movie that we viewed in class was about the life of Jeremiah. The movie was different and I can see why Dr. Homan said that he dislikes movies that depict stories in the Bible. The movie got more interesting on the second day verse the first day that the classed view [...]

My project is coming along a little differently than I thought. I wanted to write for the news show on Xavier Television, or XTV. However, we haven’t had that many news shows on our rotation. But, I did have another opportunity to write stories. This semester, I became the assistant producer for XQuisitely Urban, our [...]

I feel that the course goals have been successfully implemented. The first goal: give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies was met through required readings and assignments that were assigned throughout the semester. I believe this goal means to place students in an environment where they can learn about the [...]

Most Christians believe that the world will end in their lifetime because they strongly believe in the promise that Jesus will come again. They are simply hopeful that God will come to carry them back to heaven with him. I’m sure this would be a wonderful sight to see but unlike many Christians I am [...]

To improve the world I have taken one small step that I hope would make a big difference. I have implemented a project based on help and service towards those who are far less fortunate than I am. I have not managed to work through this project along because I have gotten many others involved [...]

Poverty is a very serious issue in today’s society, however solving this problem does not seem to be a number one priority. Half of the world which is about three billion people lives on less than two dollars a day (http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Facts.asp). Theses are not people who are only supporting themselves, but also families. The world [...]

Job was a pretty prosperous man who trusted and obeyed God. Then the devil asked God permission to try Job, took everything he had, and put him through a whole lot of suffering. Through it all Job trusted God, served him and honored him. No matter what others said Job did not turn his back [...]

1.Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies.
It is because of this course I feel like I am somewhat of a biblical scholar. Over the course of the semester I have read a number of biblical texts and have taken the time to analyze them. I have to be honest that [...]

It would be nice if we could just live a care free life. However, we cannot. The world today is faced with many problems that are up to us to solve for ourselves. Three major problems that need to be solved are health care, crime, and education (especially in NOLA!!!). Unfortunately, everyone is [...]
