Scripture quotations marked KJV are from the Holy Bible, King James Version (Authorized Version). First published in 1611. Quoted from the KJV Classic Ref-erence Bible, Copyright © 1983 by The Zondervan Corporation. I dedicate this book in loving memory of my father, Mr. James Crockom, a dea-con of the church for many years, and my mother, Mrs. Lillie V. Crockom, a strong, longtime prayer warrior. They both turned in their swords for a perfectly fitted crown in 1978 and 1990, respectively, but not before they made sure that their six children were introduced to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at early ages. They lived a godly life by setting an example before their children and giving instructions in the Word of God to live a holy life unto …show more content…

I continued to drive past the building toward home. The Holy Spirit instructed me to turn the car around, go back, and inquire about the property. Sitting in front of the building, I put in a call to the telephone number listed on the sign. No one was available to take my call, so I left a very brief and simple message. That was it; I had done what I was instructed to do. To my surprise the very next day my call was returned, and an appointment was set to view the property.

When my savings ran out, I than took out a loan on my car, acquired two personal loans, sold most of my jewelry and anything else I could get my hands on, in an attempt to meet the obligations of the lease, while trying to maintain the spiritual vision of the ministry.

Introduction “There can be no doubt that James I possessed some major shortcomings as a ruler, the most damaging of which were his over-reliance on favourites, his complete neglect of his public image, and his inability to live within his financial means.” (Durston, 1993, p.64). This dissertation will examine the different representations of King James I of England and VI of Scotland through the literature of his time.

The Monkey’s Paw Literary Analysis Imagine this: your friend allows you to see and eventually take a miscellaneous knick-knack that you’re skeptical about. Your friend then proceeds to warn you about not using it’s powers, and if you do use it, you must be sensible since whenever you do use it, there are serious consequences. Would you still use it or even take it? The same thing happened in the short story, “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W Jacobs.

Regarding the impact that others in a meeting have on his decision making process, it is given to understand that he desires to know the heart and the motives behind the individual speaking before moving forward with any suggestions made. His concerns regarding this issue are that motives may be proliferated by traditionalists, resistant to change or by those seeking vain-glory, taking on many forms. In matters of job security, this pastor remains open to serve the Lord where He wants him to serve.
