Our text explains that the source of Mission is not of man, rather it is from God and is “rooted in the very nature of God” (Van Rheenen 14). This concept is explained throughout the complete Bible. In the Old Testament God’s love is shown to man by seeking restoration between himself and fallen man. Of course, the New Testament displays his love by sending Jesus into the world. By contrast, “missions “ is the “plans of committed believers to accomplish the mission of God” (Van Rheenen 20). They are the same in that we are to proclaim the message of the Kingdom of God, Jesus as Savior, and establish a church just like Jesus and the disciples. However Jesus, as God, became the message. The Bible says, “In the past God spoke to our ancestors

Martin Van Buren said that the two happiest days of his life were his entrance into the office of President and his surrender of the office. While his political opponents were glad to see him go—they nicknamed him “Martin Van Ruin”—many Americans were not. Even though he lost the 1840 presidential election, Van Buren received 40,000 more votes than he had in his 1836 victory. In subsequent years, historians have come to regard Van Buren as integral to the development of the American political system. Van Buren was the first President not born a British subject, or even of British ancestry.

Chapter four of N.T. Wright discusses the difficulties of reading scripture. Interpretation is the main issue as it requires exegesis and hermeneutics that will indicate what the writer was trying to say and how it applies to us today. In this section, we are dealing with the Sermon on the Mount that deals with the coming kingdom of God. Wright states the larger truth; “God’s future is arriving in the present, in the person and work of Jesus, and you can practice, right now, the habits of life which will find their goal in that coming future (Wright, 103). The author makes a clear contrast between happiness ad blessedness (104).

Every Good Endeavor by Timothy Keller has provided me with such a better perspective and understanding of work and God 's intention for it. Previously, I have always viewed work as an evil that was necessary because of the fallen world that we live in. But, through Keller 's writings, I can see how it is part of God 's perfect plan for us. One thing that I have never notice, but Keller says is that, "In the beginning God works.” It is so simply stated in the Bible, but something I have always overlooked and seen as insignificant.

Eric Foner explains in, “The Checkered History of the Great Fourteenth Amendment,” that in addition to providing the revolutionary act of promoting black American's freedom, the Fourteenth Amendment was one of the most critical outcomes of the Civil War because it set a precedent for the federal government to have power over state governments. The amendment represented a turning tide where the “national state” was no longer viewed as “as a threat to liberty”(Foner). For the first time in American History, the federal government truly possessed the power to act as a benevolent overseer of it's citizens. The amendment also gave the Constitution “malleability,” ensuring the voice of citizens would be incorporated into government policies(Foner).
