Recommended: The book of ruth in the bible kjv

I think one of the most prominent messages that spoke to me this week in the book of Ruth is that of the level of devotion that Ruth had not only to Naomi but also to the Lord. Ruth loved and respected her mother-in-law so much and felt such a responsibility to her that no matter what she was willing to follow her wherever even after she was given permission and even urged to return to her own mother’s home. It speaks to me about the reality of how faithful the Lord is to us when we reflect the obedience to kindness and that the Lord instructs us to treat our neighbors and family as. Ruth stands as an example of the reflection of giving to the Lord and him returning two fold, Ruth was good to Naomi and honored her and listened to her instructions

    In the beginning of the late seventeenth century a sense of fear and panic was sweeping throughout the colonies of North America this fear began in a small town in Massachusetts called Salem and would lead to the death of nineteen people. This fear was caused by young Puritan girls who started randomly convulsing and accusing people of being witches many of the accused were women many single or widowed who owned land and this event was titled The Salem Witch Trails, but another smaller very significant event also took place during this period of time that event is the attempted hanging of Mary Webster.

  • The Color of Water by James McBride

    882 Words  | 2 Pages

    To begin with, the dual narratives of the text here present a unique mixture of chronology and perspective. Moreover, noteworthy is also McBride’s usage of the rhetorical strategy of alternate chapters and parallelism. This can be seen when McBride remarkably places related chapters together to juxtapose the life of his mother and that of himself. This allows one to observe the parallelism in the two lives; and perhaps more importantly, understand the significance Ruth’s life has had on McBride. For example, McBride places the chapters “Shul” and “School” next to each other. Here, both Ruth and James are struggling and are trying to fit in but are rejected due to racial and social conflicts. Another example is, “The New Testament” and “The Old Testament.” Both of these chapters revolve around the embarrassment Ruth and James feel for their circumstances. In “The Ne...

  • What Is Ruth A Hero

    731 Words  | 2 Pages

    To women and some men, she is a hero, and to anti-feminists she is a villain. Moreover, there are still many people who do not applaud Ruth on the wonderful changes Ruth has made to American society. For growing up in the mid 90s, it is shocking to some that Ruth is not against abortion. After fighting for women to have the freedom to decide for themselves, Ruth said, “Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise.” However, Ruth is not against nor for abortion rather she is wants people to be able to make their own choices. She said, “The emphasis must be not on the right to abortion but on the right to privacy and reproductive control.” Also, Ruth is an advocate of same sex marriage. She wants freedom for everyone and for every one to be allowed to make their own decisions. She said, “In recent years, people have said, ‘This is the way I am.’ And others looked around, and we discovered it’s our next-door

  • Irony In The Book Of Ruth

    694 Words  | 2 Pages

    One highlight from Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries: Ruth, by Judy Fentress-Williams is loyalty. In the book of Ruth, Ruth states, “Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God” (Ruth 1:14). Ruth says this to Naomi after Naomi tried to push her away. The commentary states that Ruth said this to Naomi as they were moving from Ruth’s homeland to Naomi’s homeland (Williams, chapter 1). I think this is significant because it shows that Ruth is actually following Naomi and not leaving her behind or abandoning her. This verse is a pivotal event in the first chapter which makes it even more significant (Williams, chapter 1). This is when the setting begins to change. It starts off in Moab and then they both travel to the land of Judah. It also

  • Analysis Of Hanna Rosin's The End Of Men

    1151 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Hanna Rosin’s article, ‘‘the end of men”, the author begins by stating that women are taking over today’s society, while the position of men have become a thought of the past. The author recognizes the negativity of having girls as firstborns. In the article, the author states, “Many wives who failed to produce male heirs were abused and treated as domestic servants; while some families prayed to spirits to kill off girl children” (Rosin). In this article, the author gives light to how the preference of having males has decimated from the minds of people and how it has been erased from society. And, goes as far as insinuating that women have overtaken the place of men in today’s society and are seen as equal. However, I disagree because I believe that men just want to keep women down and it is demonstrated through discrimination at the workplace, depriving education, and violence towards women.

  • Gleaning In The Book Of Ruth

    668 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ruth 3:16 says, “But Ruth said, ‘do not urge me to leave you or return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.” This passage is the most quoted verse from the book of Ruth. Ruth says this to Naomi when Naomi urges her to leave and continue her life in Moab. This verse is important because Ruth shows selflessness and kindness to Naomi. Another key verse is Ruth 4:14, “Then the women said to Naomi, ‘Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a redeemer and may his name be renowned in Israel!’” These uplifting words are said to Naomi at the end of the book of Ruth by the women in Bethlehem. The women are telling Naomi that God has blessed her with a godly kinsman redeemer. Lastly, Ruth 2:12 says, “The Lord repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the Lord, The God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” Boaz says this to Ruth when he finds out the sacrifice Ruth made to support Naomi. If Ruth had decided to go back to Moab, she would have almost guaranteed financial and marital success. Instead, she decided to support Naomi a difficult time. Boaz is encouraging Ruth and telling her God will bless her for this selfless
