I see a common dilemma among Christians. When I get together with my friends for coffee and play dates, the conversation most always will hit on our relationship with God and prayer life. The dilemma being that as moms we are so busy and we struggle to have the time to spend in God's word. I have gotten creative in saturating my life with scripture. You do not have to set out an hour of your time to read the bible. I'm a mom. I know the hectic schedule we have. Let's not get discouraged with our overwhelming schedule, but let's get creative! Here are some creative ways to make sure your life is immersed in God's Word. #1 Set aside 10-15 minutes every morning to spend time with God. Even if you have to get up a little earlier to have that alone time with God. Get a bible study and/or a devotional to help guide you. I can see a big difference in my daily life when I make this happen. Going before God and laying down everything and picking up His peace, love and strength is the best thing you can do on a daily basis. …show more content…

You can find plenty of them for free on Pinterest or simply do a Google search for free printable scripture. I have done this many times.

During a time period that was present around 400 years ago, many colonists sought religious and economic freedom and decided to break away from the British government to form an independent nation. This area they inhabited is now called, the United States. In this time of great change, the colonists had to completely formulate a new government. Since one of the major motives for breaking off of Britain was for freedom of religion, it ended up becoming a good base for the building up of a new government. Religion gave many advantages to the growth of government through unifying the people, establishing power, and constructing order.

Reid and Hogan make very clear the pitfalls that preachers can find themselves in. There is a temptation to compromise the purpose of preaching. “There is significant pressure on preachers to energize, engage, and entertain listeners while also sharing profound insight.” (19) There is one thing missing in the previous statement, a need keep the Scriptures in mind, because preaching without the Scripture is not preaching anymore, it is just public speaking.

Many of the lessons that I have learned and that have stuck with me were lessons that I have learned in the midst of a struggle, and sometime through positive situations. I personally believe that in my life I can hear God most clearly when I am most vulnerable; such vulnerability comes from the situations that I have experienced suffrage or loneness. Sadly, but honestly when I am happy I don’t long for answers to as many question as I do when I am upset or angry. But it is when I am sad or angered that I feel God’s presence comforting me and that is when I release my fear unto him and find peace.

After re-answering the questions in the Moral Problems Self quiz I noticed a few of my answers have changed. Let me tell you about the ones that changed. One that changed a lot was if African Americans are still discriminated against in employment, my first answer was disagreeing. My second answer was strongly agreed.

I interviewed my mom, Catherine Farrar, for the religion interview assignment. My mom was raised Catholic, but stopped attending church in college and never looked back. She is a feminist, and the Catholic Church is simply not conducive to feminist beliefs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s piece, “The Introduction to The Women’s Bible” seemed to mirror my mom’s stance on the issue; the Bible was written by men, for men, with the goal of achieving power over others. Clearly, the Bible does not favor women, and this is true for many religious texts.
