Recommended: Narrative essay about crime

I remember one particular time there had been a rash of break-ins in the parking garage in the apartment building I lived in. When I heard about what was happening I prayed over my car and fully expected that no evil would befall it. One morning after that when I got to my car, I saw that someone had tampered with the door lock and I realized that they tried to break into it. I immediately got angry and began to complain and accuse God of not protecting my car. After a few minutes of fussing, it dawned on me just how silly and ungrateful I was being. I realized that I was acting like a spoiled ungrateful brat, just like the Israelites. My car had not been stolen or destroyed, my key still worked, I was able to get in my car, start it up and

    Like Kushner, I think God gives us the strength to cope with bad things when they come our way. Ultimately, I believe the nature of reality is blind as to weather you’re a good or evil. You could be a good person your whole life and then one day something tragic happens; you lose your job, your house

  • God, Superstar by Bruce McCulloch

    Now in modern days supernatural experiences are usually rare but those situations allow people to falsely believe that God only works through extremities. Movies allow for these ideas to come to pass because they can determine what they want “God” to do. Such as “Superstar” directed by Bruce McCulloch. In contrast to this there are the usual personal plans that God makes for individuals that may not look extreme but still allow for his power to be shown, like in Tyler Perry’s “ I Can Do Bad All By myself”. In their own ways both movies express God like how the modern society would interpret God.

    The Lord allows things to go wrong in His children’s lives. We know this is true because things have gone wrong in some point in our lives. The Bible has taught us the go has the power and control in our daily lives so that means He is perfectly capable in preventing things from going wrong. Instead of doing so he creates an opportunity or presents with a challenge that we must overcome. “God leaves nothing to chance or luck. God knows what He is doing. God knows what He is doing even when He allows us to suffer” (God’s Intentions). We must trust in that God has plan for us. "God causes all things to work together for good for those who love God"(Rom.8:28). One day you might find yourself in a situation that might be trying. We must remember

    While it is unfortunately true that some Christians tend to hyperspiritualize events and exclaim "the Devil did it," or "the Devil made me do it," this is certainly not the case with all. Many Christians have pointed out alleged demonic (or divine) occurrences which were -- in fact -- instances of fraud, anomalies, psychosomatic phenomena, auto- or heterosuggestion, and so forth. (3) Such Christians have demystified baffling occurrences and accounted for them by their natural causes.

    A notable movie I’ve seen is God’s Not Dead. In this film, a student tries to prove the existence of God to his atheist professor. The student brings up the existence of evil, and says how it 's our own free will. Wars take many lives, but are man made. However, what about natural disasters, can 't God prevent this? According to the Biblical perspective, God lets natural disasters occur to focus our attention to him and his power, or as a judgement of sins. Also in the movie, the professor says how he lost his mother due to cancer at a young age. He argues that God didn’t answer his modest prayers and spare her life. The student replies how sometimes the answer is no. Isn’t that what life consists of? Sometimes we hear yes, sometimes we hear no. It’s a part of life. God can not always answer our

I was looking for something new and exciting to enhance my high school existence and decided to give the Criminal Justice Club a try. I was familiar with the advisor of the club, but knew that the club had astigmatism for attracting those students who were just looking for something easy to do. I knew about the criminal justice system, but only what they show on Law and Order. However, I immediately fell in love, not only with the club but the entire prospect of Criminal Justice. I stepped into the club as if it were a place I belonged and easily became a leader. I was able to learn things the TV shows

    It was all fun and games until we heard the sirens. We went to the cops terrified that we were in so much trouble but we didn't know why, once the police told us we did nothing wrong, we all learned a very important lesson.

Me and my friend were captains and we picked out teams. A couple of touchdowns later we heard the sirens “Wee-Woo Wee-Woo”,we were scared out of our minds.

    A little later that night someone entered my garage, which was so conveniently unlocked. They first rummaged through my dad’s van outside and I think they stole his coat, a tape and a few rolls of film. They also sifted through my mom’s car looking for something to steal, only to find a few motivational tapes. Surprising enough they passed those including one on "Getting Rid Of Guilt." When they got into my car however, they decided to take most of what I had. They stole my CD player, taking part of my dash with it. They also took most of my CD collection and the liner to my new Columbia coat. They even took my flashlight. They then vanished as quickly as they had come.

    When we are kept by God we are kept by His power through faith and we are shielded until the coming of the salvation that is revealed in the last days (1 Peter 1:5-6). Oh to be kept by the power of God gives us hope and encourages us to rejoice in the mist of our suffering; knowing that this is the test of our faith and need not to worry about anyone snatching us out of the hands of Jesus Christ our Lord because He tell us in Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my

    I went to private school until high school and thus wouldn’t really know anyone. My one close friend who I entered public school with currently stands at 5’1”. There were stares but not as many as I expected. I attend a nationally recognized all-girls school and there are girls here who do play sports and are well over 6 feet fall. Being this tall wasn’t really a big deal Without the constant negative attention, I was able to be myself in all my funny, goofy, caring glory. The friendships I gained helped boost my confidence. I began seeing my height as an advantage. When I stand up and talk, people listen and they remember me. It took others to point out the positives and help me to feel better about myself. Kayla is a pretty common name. There is actually a girl in my graduating class with the exact same first and last name as I have. I am Kayla, you know “tall, funny, nice Kayla.” All of those comments that plagued me for years now became compliments and I became

    As a child I was always scared of meeting new people and doing anything remotely out of my comfort zone. As I started doing drama I learned that theatre is all about going out of your comfort zone and meeting new people, so I guess you could say that was a struggle for me. When I entered my freshman year at Tollgate, I discovered I would be able to audition for plays and musicals at Bishop Hendricken High School. Hearing this, I was excited, but I also realised that meant I would have to submerge myself into a program filled with the most eccentric people I had yet to meet. I skipped the first show of the year, It’s a Wonderful Life, because I knew I was not ready to enter a program that I knew would alter me forever. I finally decided to enter

    Every prayer that every person has ever made has been heard by God. He hears everything and He sees everything. If our prayer, or prayers, has not been yet answered, it is important that we do not lose faith or stop believing that He will help and answer our prayers because He will. God has special timing for everything and when the timing is right, your prayer or prayers will be answered. Like they say, “God works in mysterious ways.” Trusting in Him and believing in Him is pivotal.
