This document is the handout that goes with my Powerpoint presentation for my catechism class at Holy Nativity Orthdox Church. This begins with a LONG text (Job 38:2-40:5) on the first 30 slides, and then has some impressive graphics to back up St. Cyril's observations.

But he insisted that God required commitment and sincerity! By quoting many scriptures on the Old and New Testament, he insured that Baptism had the reverence and respect that it deserves. This is the 17th in 18 lectures that Baptismal Candidates (or catechumens) were required to attend during the 40 days preceding the great feast of Pasca (Easter) The Baptism of Water and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (Anointing with holy oil) took place simultaneously, always on the eve of Easter Sunday: a tradition that continues today in the Eastern Orthodox Churches.

The statement was designed to defend the position of Biblical inerrancy against a perceived trend toward liberal conceptions of Scripture. The undersigners came from a variety of evangelical Christian denominations, and include Robert Preus, James Montgomery Boice, Kenneth Kantzer, J. I. Packer, Francis Schaeffer, R. C. Sproul and John F. MacArthur. The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy has been described as similar to the Second Vatican Council Decree Dei verbum in addressing issues of the historical critical method and affirming inerrancy.

Because it is such a turbulent time for children, one would assume that the experience of their parents’ divorce would be particularly hard for this age group. This paper will attempt to discover the empirically verified impact of parental divorce on early adolescents, or Middle–School aged children (MSAC).
Christian Churches have been attempting to deal with the increasing incidence of divorce not only in society at large, but within their own ranks. There are effective and widely acclaimed divorce recovery programs such as DivorceCare® and more recently a DC4Kids®, a biblically based program to address the needs of children of divorce aged 5 -12. However, at this time there are very few resources available for a Christian ministry to early adolescents whose parents are separating and divorcing. Since educators insist that younger adolescents have different needs and learning styles than older adolescents, this paper will focus on how the Christian Community can address the needs of MSAC who are the victims of their parent’s separation, divorce and remarriage.
The rich heritage of the United Brethren in Christ implemented the best of four major streams of the protestant reformation: Calvinism, Lutheranism, Anabaptism and Moravianism as well as the later developments of the Pietists. Although he was sometimes given the derogatory label of a “Dutch Methodist” Otterbein actually had a greater influence on the Methodists than vice versa. He had implemented many Methodist practices in the American colonies before they were established in the United States by the Methodists."
Insights from each of these programs will be used along with models presented by Drs. Earley and Roberts from the Talbott Recovery campus in Atlanta Georgia to suggest how medical and spiritual modes of treatment can work collaboratively to address the needs of a person suffering from addiction.

Luke reworked some of Mark's Trasnfiguration narrative to heighten the correspondence between Christ's transfiguration and the wilderness theophanies recorded in Exodus 19-20; 24; 34; 40:34-35 and Deuteronomy 18:15. Luke implies the presence of the Holy Spirit, and Christ’s return at the eschaton, which were two of his major themes. This was in keeping with his plan to write a New Gospel law and book of prophecy that would parallel the Torah and Jewish Prophets.
Matthew reworked Mark's version of the Transfiguration story to integrate with many Old Testament prophecies and show convincingly how Jesus was the fulfillment of all that had been prophesied and hoped for. "
