So it’s been a while since I have been able to post something. Well let’s be honest, I have not made it a priority at all. But as I promised months ago, I will be posting different bits and pieces of my writings up here from my classes. As I am working on my Applied Learning Paper for New Testament, I will be throwing the final versions up here for the world to see. Please feel free to comment and give Ideas. (In case my professor reads this, I will not be incorporating these ideas into my paper. =) Enjoy and let me know what you think!!!
A story of redemption and fulfillment
What is the difference between the Old and New Testament’s? Are they two completely different pieces of scripture? How can both be applied to a Christians life? These are questions often heard in the Christian community today. The truth is that the New Testament is an extension of the Old Testament. Throughout the Old Testament we see God working through his people to save them. We see many of His Children respond through faith such as Abraham, Sarah, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, and many others. We also see God set the stage through His prophets for the coming of His son. The purpose of the New Testament is to proclaim salvation through Christ, to declare our new identity as children of God, and the charging of the church to fulfill His good works until Christ returns.
So I start school this Thursday at Trinity International University. It’s been a while since I have had to sit in a classroom, take notes, do homework, or study. Now it may seem a little silly for me to say this, especially those who know me well, but I am really excited about this. Why I am excited about all of this extra work you might ask? I am excited because not only will I be finishing my bachelors degree, but I will be doing it in something that I am really excited about, something that will be for my personal growth as well as for professional. I will be getting my degree in Christian Ministries through Trinity International University’s Reach Program. The program is specifically targeted at adults over the age of 25 who want to finish their degree, but who do not have the time to go to school during the day. My hope is to be able to finish my degree in the next two years so that I can move on to get my masters before I am 35.
In light of all of this, my blog will be used to post my educational thoughts over the next two years. In reading one of my books for my first class, I became really intrigued by the thought of writing and journaling my thoughts about the material I will be covering. Strangely enough, that is what blogging is for. So as a heads up, y0u will probably begin to see a lot more posts, some educational, some recreational, and probably just some really random ones!!!
