Charles Colson

As Charles Colson, a renowned Evangelical Christian writer and leader, wrote in his book “The Faith”, “When the God of the Bible is rejected, people choose a new god” (Colson, 68). The epitome of this statement can be found in 21st century American culture.

According to the Bible in Romans 1:20, God has revealed Himself and His qualities to the world through His creation, “For since the creation of the world God 's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse” (Romans 1:20 New International Version). All to often people dismiss the notion of Christianity because of preconceived views of God and the Trinity, often after attempting to apply worldly limitations and constraints to the identity of God, which is revealed through creation. The idea of the Trinity and the incarnation are often misconstrued and misunderstood because of their complexity, but this is not problem that must persist when accompanied by a clear explanation of these complex issues. The birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus altered and transformed the world by revealing the nature of God to humanity, providing a pattern for a Christian life, and by atoning for the sins of the world. Jesus and the Trinity According to…

The piano has spiritually gained history in the Charles family tree because it's a symbol of all the Charles that were there when the piano was bought, to the last person that died for it. The piano is the best way to save the Charles family history in the chapters of each Charles life because it’s engraved in it to display their history. The only issue with the piano being a spiritual piece is that it carries the ghost that bought it who was Sutter,the Charles family slave master. Bernice…

Assignment Four – The Family Group by Charles Umlauf Charles Umlauf created The Family Group sculpture in 1960. The location of the sculpture is outside of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. Its green color distinguishes the sculpture from the many other sculptures around the university and from the background of the business school.

The true tension that exists in the family is seen in the scene where Charles and Hélène share dinner after he had seen Hélène act suspiciously when receiving a call at 0:04:41. In this scene Charles silently gazes at his wife as she eats, and when she notices his serious gaze she smiles at him. She smiles in an attempt to cover up the underlying tension that exists between them; her smile is a superficial attempt to dispel all of the suspicions that he has against her. Her smile is an act, and…

bring about redemption but unlike Liggins’s belief, Lila Mae must not align her race with such promised progress. The white community will thwart her if she does so and after all, “the elevator world will look like Heaven, but not the Heaven you have reckoned” (241). Clinging onto the current hegemony and social structure like Pompey will also lead to eventual demise as Lila Mae figures “they’re all doomed anyway. Doomed by what she’s working on” (254). A pursuit of technological progress…
