This is apparent in descriptions of interactions between the French, the Iroquois, and other neighboring tribes.

a dream. No matter what, people will always be working toward something. Without a dream or goal of some sort to strive for, life would be empty and meaningless. The ultimate gift and dream to strive for, is Heaven; but while going on the path of Heaven, there are small hopeful paths along the way that should not impede the ultimate goal. The idea of the American Dream will be around forever and will always bring people in and inspire them that there is something to look forward to, regardless…

Reformed Church, and it comes mainly from 2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness…” It is understood by the reformed church that the Bible is the ultimate authority in the Christian life.

non-existent. However, because mankind is made in the image of God, even non-believers can obtain that hope if they change their heart and follow Jesus Christ. It is unlikely that you meet someone who is content to live a hopeless life, thus it is hope, a gift from God that keeps us going when life seems unbearable. That hope in and of itself, should be enough to convince a non-believer that there is a supernatural presence with them that longs to have an intimate…

In a world full of sexual immorality and a lack of commitment, it is difficult to locate Godly ideas of love. Lustfulness and impurity are constantly being flashed in our faces from the media and common culture. In contrast, the Bible does depict how love and sexuality should be treated. This can be found in the Song of Songs. The Song of Songs is also referred to as the Song of Solomon or Canticles (Whitlock, Sproul, Waltke, and Silva 1004). In Hebrew, the title can be translated as…

product the artist or architect always thinks of Allah (God) as the Supreme Beauty (Jamal) and He is Present (Hadir) everywhere. Islamic art keeps us united before the Divine Presence.

distinct love for human-kind as we were blessed to be made in his image, “In the first Creation narrative, Genesis 1, God celebrates what he has made and gives humankind a position of honor and responsibility,” (Shuster, 2013). This image includes the gift of rational thought, the capability to love, our spiritual attributes and our dominion over Creation. The Garden of Eden was a temple, a paradise of perfect harmony, encompassing the true and pure relationship that God desired to have with…
