Although they are identical in manifestation, delivery and source it is evident that they require investigation and explanation in their own right, as they are equally divine in nature, and importance not only spiritual growth of the individual, but to the church and the kingdom of God and all that that encompasses. talcs

    The Doctrine and Covenants is a book of divine revelations, given to members of the Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Doctrine and Covenants is a companion to the Book of Mormon and is the capstone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I got to give my Spanish a jog, I got to meet a ton of new people, and I had my eyes opened to a new way of living.…

The universal term of America being referred to as a “melting pot” has been bestowed upon the country, giving many people a new opportunity to assimilate towards the mainstream American society and in return, will receive equal treatment. In regards to the diversity of America, we appreciate when someone can “speak in tongues” (Smith 252). Zadie Smith, author of “Speaking in Tongues,” writes about the benefits of being able to talk in many different tongues to speak for the entirety of people, even if they are not of the same kind of people. On the other hand, however, Kenji Yoshino, author of “Covering:…

    Would it be nice to only own a song that can never be forgotten? Most African American slaves did not own or have a single piece of property that they could say was their own, but the songs that were passed down from generation to generation will never be forgotten. African American spirituals are the core of their religious, emotional beliefs, and work lives. African American spirituals were sang at funerals for their deceased loved ones. ¨Usually with a Christian religious themes were originally monophonic and a cappella and were antecedents of the blues¨ (African American Spiritual, authentichistory).…

    The read of the article “A Pentecostal Way of Doing Theology: Method and Manner”, by Archer was a lot to digest. The dilemma is to be able to resurrect and define Pentecostalism Pentecostal. I haven’t given this concept much thought recently, but I’ve known this for a while. I was brought into the Pentecostal “mode” in 1975 to a church that was practicing the true traditional Pentecostal theological ways. Since then, I haven’t been able to find a comparable church proclaiming or practicing these beliefs.…

    Spiritual Gifts and Unity in Christ from 1st Corinthians 12: 1-31 Paul’s words in his letter to the Corinthian church, lays an emphasis on the virtue and need for unity within these community of believers as it relates to the diverse operations of spiritual gifts (I Corinthians 12:1-31). This is because spiritual gifts and unity are interconnected and vital to their church experience and Christian life. According to him, our effectiveness as the church of Jesus Christ lies in our willingness to work together even as we recognise the different abilities bestowed on us by the Holy Spirit. In this section of the letter the apostle advocates for a more communal spirituality than an individualistic approach to living out one’s faith experience. He reiterates the fact that the Corinthians church was one body possessing different members (1 Corinthians 12: 20-27).…

Some people have different voices that they use for different environments, while others have one main voice they use to communicate with people in their surroundings. In “Speaking in Tongues”, Zadie Smith explains the up and downsides of speaking with more than one voice, as it can either provide flexibility for things in life or come off as unauthentic for the speaker. Having many different voices can be a result of imitating languages from other cultures through memes, as people will tend to pick up on all different kinds of accents and languages and put them to their…

    Introduction into this book and videos covers how we need to set long term goals, but before doing so we need to ask ourselves some questions. Before we can set those goals we should seek to know Christ. This can be done by reading the four gospels and seeing what Jesus did, what we can learn from him, and how does it relate to us? Jesus’ last commandment was to go and make disciples, and while principles never change, our methods have to change in order to reach the current generation, and each beyond. As we get into the chapters we learn that men are God’s method and while they may seem unlearned or ignorant by man’s standards, God uses those willing to learn and raises them into leadership.…
