Dr. Adam L. Hughes is the Dean of Chapel and Assistant Professor of Expository Preaching at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Through this documentary, Lyna Hart and Glen Anaguod, tells their stories of what residential schools were like for them and others. Parents were forced to send their children to these schools or risk getting arrested. These schools were government- funded schools, ran by various orders of the Christian faith. This

While the women in the church have an organized discipleship effort happening, there is not a concerted effort to grow men into faithful followers of Jesus Christ. The men of the church need a program where discipleship happens intentionally. The scripture that First Baptist Church uses for it’s vision is Matthew 5:13. The City on a Hill theme comes for this verse. The idea is that we should be salt and light to the world so that others will know Him through us.

Documentaries are often overlooked but they are important films that show us factual information in a way that educates but also captivates the audience. Spike Lee’s Four Little Girls shows the importance of community in the face of horrific events. Through interviews with the families, government officials of the time, and footage and pictures the filmmakers tell the story of what happened at the church in Birmingham Alabama and well as the effects it had. Documentary films are shown trustworthy and factual. The films are not are work of fiction but a comment of actual events.

Reflecting on chapter fourteen of Barbara Brown Taylor’s book “The Preaching Life”, I gained great insight into the understanding of imagination, and its relationship to conscious reality. Taylor, in this autobiographical insight of her life as an Episcopal Priest and Preacher, presents the reader with the challenge of understanding the concept of imagination, as perceived through the eyes of children versus the lack of imagination in adults. . Moreover, it is a comparison and contrast to the imagination, as it is perceived, applied, and evaluated through the eyes of adults. Possibilities are what children perceive through imagination, where as adults often see problematic probabilities. Her scenarios about children’s play and discovery are a reminder that followers of Christ need to redirect their thoughts and actions toward the positives of life, and avoid the negatives.

Since the summer of 1987, the Lord has been faithful in making many dreams become realities to better improve and strengthen the Winshape Camps ministry for generations to come. What started out as a ministry running only one camp for boys in Mount Berry, GA, is now one that runs eight camps for children of all ages both nationally and internationally.

In one scene at camp, a woman brings a life-sized cutout of President at that time, George W. Bush to the stage. She conducts the children to place their hands toward the cut out and say a prayer for him. In another scene, Pastor Lou Engle “preaches” to the children pleading with them to fight to end abortion. He shows and passes around a couple of plastic models of developing fetuses. This passing around of plastic babies is quite possibly the only way the kids could possibly understand the concept of abortion. The children continue on to put red tape with "Life" written across it on their mouths voluntarily. Engle carries out a prayer for President Bush to “have the strength to appoint righteous judges” (referring the judges who will overturn Roe v. Wade. Towards the end of this sermon, the kids are chanting, "Righteous judges! Righteous

Today in class, we watched a documentary called “Jesus Camp”. As I was sitting in class watching this horrifying film, I could not help by myself by going through mixed emotions and feelings. I think whether you are part of the Christian religion or not, you can see how these preachers in the film manipulated these children. The film starts off by introducing three young children by the names of Levi, who wants to pursue a career as a pastor and is being home-schooled by his mother, Rachael who is this totally sweet little girl and Tory who listens to Christian heavy metal in her spare time. I feel that each of these children went through different emotions and feelings throughout this adventure but they all still shared some kind of similarities. In this film, we as a class were able to see how much an adult figure can impact the lives of a child. I was able to see that Tory and Levi seemed the most content on how they were living their lives as Christian children, but Rachael was the

The story I listened to was about a young lady, named Bella Jakubowicz. She went to the concentration camps. The Camp Bella went to was called, Bergen-Belsen. This camp was meant to be a death camp. This camp did not have a gas chamber, like the ones at Auschwitz. At the Bergen-Belsen, they had very minimum basicas. They spelt on the floor, on hay. There was nothing in the areas, they slept. Bella was told multiple times, they need to be punished (Oral

Summer camp is a time to create memories of laughter, friendship, and new adventures. It is a time to get away for a week, and experience new adventures with familiar and fresh faces. It is a chance to experience the sound of crickets at night while lying awake in the bunk, wondering what kind of excitement the next day will bring. Camp is where friendships are created that last a lifetime.

Steal Away Home opens in 1841, when Spurgeon is a lad of 7, and concludes with his death in 1892. Authors Matt Carter and Aaron Ivey hit many highlights of Spurgeon’s life and ministry without glossing over the physical ailments and bouts of depression which often plagued him. Having recently read a biography about the “Prince of Preachers,” I believe what this book does differently to stress the humility of Spurgeon as well as the beauty of his marriage. In fact, both Charles Spurgeon and Thomas Johnson appear to have been married to their perfect helpmates. As a woman, I enjoyed these two portraits of Christian marriage.

I have been a part of different activities for my community service. I offered to volunteer in my church in the Vacation Bible School, Tiger Link Crew, Knight of Columbus, International Dinner, and Fall Festival. What I am most proud of doing is Vacation Bible School. I enjoyed being a part of the Vacation Bible School because it gave me good experience to be involved with children.

The ministry of Jesus began when Jesus was 30 years old, after his baptism in the river Jordan. Within three and a half years of his ministry Jesus did more miracles than any man in the world could have accomplished. He preached about the ways of changing lives and often gave parables to educate people. Even though he was rejected Jesus continued to spread the gospel in different cities around Israel, including Capernaum and Bethsaida.
