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

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.

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.

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

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

One critique to the Jesus Seminar was the motives behind their work. The media often portrayed the group to be comprised mostly of former Christians, attacking hardest on the group’s leader Robert Funk and cochair John Crossan. Critics went as far to describe their meetings as having “the air of a village atheists’ convention” (Powell, 110). Such an allegation gave rise to the popular belief that the motives of the scholars were to get revenge on institutionalized religion for not being accepting to them. I believe the media was too quick to judge the motives of the scholars by attacking their backgrounds. Just because their work was controversial doesn’t mean it was subjective with underlying personal vendettas. It seems unlikely that a group

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

Hannah is a twenty year old girl from Egan. For the past 3 years she has spent her summers at a bible camp up north called Trout Lake Camps. The first time Hannah stepped foot at the camp she didn’t want to go. She spent the school year there working in the office. But now the thought of not stepping foot there makes her think about all the good times and bad times she had. From sleeping in chapel or getting stuck in a canoe, she can’t help but be thankful for being forced to go there.

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.

Matthew 9:35-38 (NIV) reads, Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Through the lens of this text God reveals to us the heart He has for His people in a lost and suffering world. Jesus points out to his disciples what we should find significant today, and that is

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.
