Each of the friends exposed the inherent weaknesses of evil people. Though the wicked appeared invincible, they were rotten at the core and God would destroy them. For his part, however, Job saw only their continuing strength and enviable security. Although none of the friends named Job in this cycle, these pointed diatribes formed the basis for round three which turned painfully personal as they accused Job of having engaged in the very same oppressive practices that would make “[the wicked]…

It was another moment of transition for Job in his constantly dynamic thinking, only to be interrupted by Bildad who failed even more miserably than before to make a meaningful contribution. Job pounced on Bildad’s brief allusion to God’s peace-making presence in the heavens (25:2). After a sarcastic jab about how helpful Bildad’s counsel was, Job unleashed a vibrant description of what God actually does in those heavenly realms. Some of his discourse described the visible heavenly realms – the…

Thesis: The church is holy through love for God. Because the church is holy, the church has the duty to love and take care of all people. Holiness is a dedication to God. The People of God, who are the church, individually aim to dedicate themselves to holiness. Particularly, to dedicate oneself to holiness means to love God. God loves and protects us, so we should fully commit to loving Him back. James Martin claims in his book, My Life with the Saints, “I knew that I couldn’t expect anyone’s…

A.W. Tozer presents his main thesis as he expounds on the glory and attributes of God and asserts that the world’s spiritual starvation births from our absence of contemplation of God. Tozer states, It is my opinion that the Christian concept of God current in these middle years of the twentieth century is so decadent as to be utterly beneath the dignity of the Most High God and actually to constitute for professed believers something amounting to a moral calamity. Tozer claims that…

Self-Worth Self-respect, self-confidence, self-regard, and self-love are all synonyms to self-worth. They all have to do with how a person distinguishes himself from others through introspection. How a person imagines their self-worth determines how they interact with others in society, how they hold them self and how they choose to see the world. This idea of self-worth is brought up in both James Baldwin “A Talk to Teachers” and Fredrick Douglas “Learning to Read and Write”. James Baldwin in…

Short answer The self as defined by Mead is an interaction between the two parts of oneself, the "I" and "Me". The "I" acts based of experiences (e.g. what actions people like, what actions will make people proud) and the "me" represents that understanding of society that the "I" draws from to act (our idea of society in miniature). Thus, the "me"'s idea of society's attitudes towards different actions is reliant upon its experience within society, and the "I"'s actions are reliant upon…

It’s a vicious cycle. A villain is found or created and he or she creates havoc amongst the locals, terrorizing them until they can take no more. Then, the hero is called to come and save the day. Whether the call comes from within or an outside influence is of little significance. There must be a confrontation in which the hero faces the villain and eventually triumphs. And when the hero retires, and it isn’t long before another villain takes the place of the previous one. But what would…

The speech Chief Seattle gave October 29, 1889 was in response to Isaac Stevens, the Washington state governor, who was ordered to not only purchase Indian lands, but move the Indians to reservations. When the Chief gave his speech, he used similes, ethical appeal, and emotional appeal to achieve his purpose. The Chief’s purpose in responding was to convince the governor to let the Indians keep their land. The literary devices he used helped to get his point across and assist him in achieving…
