Pastoral Response Paper

Pastoral Response Paper
To prepare churches for the challenges of pastoral searches, I recently introduced a fictitious
congregation named "St. Barnabas Lutheran Church." Readers provided a good deal of affirmation
for the post, but they also wanted to know how to improve the call process. We go back to St.
Barnabas today to start answering that question. If you are "first–time visitor" to St. Barnabas, here's
what you should know. More than a year ago, St. Barnabas' pastor retired at age 67 after serving the
church for 15 years. It took about eight months to issue the initial call to a candidate, only to see the
call declined. Now starting the second year of vacancy, the call committee decided to create an
"after action" report to learn from the experience of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The call committee had a task list, but not SMART goals. As such, the call committee... Lost track
of some tasks, competing them haphazardly. Held meetings two or three weeks late. Didn't always
contact all the pastoral candidates with updates. The lack of planning really left the call committee
unprepared for the initial congregational meeting to call a pastor. The meeting went so poorly, the
committee had to table calling a pastor and schedule another congregational meeting. First, The call
committee provided a brief written summary of each candidate. Congregational members wanted
more information. One member even pointed out her sister's church, who is calling a pastor, placed
video interviews and sermons of each candidates on the church website. Second, the call committee
choose to not prepare salary and benefits charts for all the candidates, opting to wait until the church
choose a candidate to compile this information. Some members wanted to know the benefits cost of
each candidate before voting. Third, the call committee decided to use a voice vote to call the pastor.

Summary Of ' First Missionary Journey '
First Missionary Journey
The book of Acts describes how Paul was ministering in Antioch with Barnabas, when he was
directed by the Holy Spirit to be released from his Church duties. The Holy Spirit had another
assignment for Paul, and that was to go and take the Gospel more widely. Some believe that this
notion came from the Holy Spirit through fasting and prayer. Paul began his first missionary in the
town of Antioch. Throughout Paul's first missionary journey he was accompanied by Barnabas and
Barnabas cousin John Mark.
God gave Paul a mission to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles. They traveled from city to city
spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, the message was not always being received. It is
really no confirmed certainty on why John Mark eventually left Paul and Barnabas to return to
Jerusalem. The Jews went on record as being in opposition to the Gospel, but Paul kept preaching
the Gospel to the Gentiles. Paul saw that the Gentiles were very receptive to the Gospel.
Although many Gentiles accepted the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there were Jews that continued to
display their anger towards the Gospel. There were some Jews that came and stirred up the crowd at
Lystra against Paul and Barnabas. This crowd also stoned and left Paul for dead, but Paul did not
allow that to stop him from preaching the Gospel to the city of Lystra. Lystra and Derbe proved to
be fruitful areas to preach the Gospel, but not without their difficulties. One convert at Lystra on this

I was thrown into a tornado of emotions, ranging from anger to depression. I walked back to the
cabin alone to find everyone meeting and bonding with their campers. I slowly climbed up into my
bed on the top bunk. I watched everyone smiling and laughing while I was left there alone. Why did
this have to happen to me? What is God's plan for me this week? Dreadfully, I got out of bed,
exhausted from weeping all night. Without my chosen camper, I became a "floater" which meant I
got to help the other CIA's and their campers. Chelsea, a CIA from Austin, immediately needed my
assistance. I reluctantly made it over to Chelsea and her camper, Emma. Emma was nonverbal and
wheelchair bound. She had to be fed through a tube and wore briefs, or adult diapers. Little did I
know, Emma, Chelsea and I would become best friends, sharing our triumphs and failures in life.
The three of us would do everything at camp together. On the extensive walks to the camps' doctor's
office for routine feedings, we would share personal stories unbeknownst to anyone in our lives. I
shared my struggle of my camper, Paige, not showing up and how incredibly difficult it was for me
to see everyone have someone to share the most life changing week with. Opening up to them in one
of the hardest situations I had ever faced was beyond valuable. Through this tough and emotional
experience I found myself, but more importantly, God. I had culminated so many new friends

Authorship Of Hebrews
The author for the book of Hebrews is unknown, as there is no ascription or introduction given by
the author; therefore, scholars may only propose possible authors without confirming who it is. With
that said, many scholars have pushed for Pauline because in earlier manuscripts Hebrews followed
Romans which they thought warranted Pauline authorship. Some of the early church fathers believe
that there is Pauline influence, however, not Pauline authorship simply for the reason that Hebrews
seems to be written by a well–educated Greek with elaborate and complex language. There are other
suggestions made by scholars, most of which they are unable to support. Pricilla is one example, it
would be fitting for her authorship of Hebrews based on her being in Paul's inner circle and the book
having Pauline influence, however, one would have to look past the strong presence of the authors

Moreover, Luke translates Barnabas to mean "son of consolation" which ties into Hebrews being a
"word of consolation" (Johnson). He is also described as interacting with Paul through missions,
which Paul confirms in his letters, however, this does not confirm his authorship as there are also
various things that would not agree with his authorship. Lastly, there is discussion concerning
Apollos as the author of Hebrews, there are many connections that have been made, such as,
Apollos being a Jew and Hebrews showing strong knowledge of Judaism, Apollos being well
learned in the Scriptures and the intricate scriptural citations used in Hebrews, among other things.
Though there are many aspects that agree with Apollos authorship, it must only be speculation due
to the disagreements that also arise in the argument for his

Paul And Barnaba Research Paper
Paul's first missionary journey led him and his companions into the southern portion of Galatia.
They were able to stand before those in the synagogues and proclaim the good news to the Jews and
the God–fearing Gentiles (Acts 13–14). Initially the journey was productive as many Jewish and
Gentile adherents wanted to hear further from Paul and his companions. Luke shares that as Paul
and Barnabas went throughout the cities, jealous and sacrilegious Jews stirred up hostility by
speaking against the words of Paul (Acts 13:44). D.A Carson and Douglas Moo shares, "the
preachers turned to the Gentiles and made converts from among them." However, the Jews quickly
moved to eject Paul and his companions from the region; therefore, they progressed to other areas.
Paul's purpose for writing Galatians was to express his concern that the newly converted Galatians
were deserting the gospel of grace and turning to a different gospel (Gal 1:6). Further, he wanted to
share that there were some who desired to mislead them by misrepresenting the ... Show more

Thomas Lea and David Black states that these Judaizers were considered false teachers and
promoted "legalism." F.F. Bruce shares that they were "trouble–makers," imparting unto their
hearers what they stated was the true knowledge of God, which Paul fervently protested (Ga1 4:9).
According to Carson, "the false teachers saw Christianity as a modified Judaism; they were teaching
that to be in covenant relationship to God means to submit to the requirements of the law." They
wanted to compel the Gentile Christians to practice circumcision, obey Mosaic Law and certain
festivals, and promoted an interest in being "sons of Abraham". The Judaizers remarked, "Unless
you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved" (Acts

Scripture : The Apostle Paul
Among the many New Testament characters recorded in Scripture, the Apostle Paul, by far, is one of
the most intriguing. Like the twelve apostles who were companions of Jesus during His earthly
ministry, the Apostle Paul was far from perfect but he possessed an extraordinary zeal for God that
stood out against the other apostles. Consequently, Jesus likely took notice of Paul's zeal as well,
thus it is no surprise, at least to this author, that Jesus would choose Paul to take the gospel to the
Gentiles in faraway lands. Unfortunately, little is known about Paul's early life. However, and
according to Scripture, Paul was likely born around the time of Jesus' birth (Acts 7:58) in the City of
Tarsus, Cecilia, which was a providence of the Roman Empire (McCray, 2003). Tarsus, being a
providence of Roman Empire, also made the young Paul a Roman Citizen and Diaspora Jew which
Paul would later use to his advantage when facing three separate cases of persecution (Acts 16:37;
Acts 22:25–29; Acts 24:27) in the Book of Acts (McCray, 2003).
The City of Tarsus was a major manufacturing and educational center in the ancient world that laid
on a commercial route in southeastern region of Asia Minor, and it is likely that Tarsus, as well as
Paul, felt the cultural influences of Stoic philosophy, however, it is difficult to assess what influence
Greek thought may have had on a young Paul (Elwell, 1997). Regardless, Paul, in all likelihood
studied Stoic philosophy and benefited greatly from an education as a youth in Tarsus because of his
Roman citizenship. Aside from Paul's birth, it is not entirely clear how Paul acquired his Roman
citizenship, thus it is suggested that Paul's father or his descendants became Roman citizens through
military or public service while becoming Hellenized in the process (McCray, 2003). Accordingly,
Paul was given both a Hebrew name (Shaul or Saul) and a Roman Cognomen name (Paulus or Paul)
which Saul would use after his conversion to Christianity (McCray, 2003). Regardless of the lack
clarity surrounding Paul's citizenship and upbringing in Tarsus, it is abundantly clear in Paul's
epistles that he obtained a Greek education as he could relate to the Gentiles with relative ease

Analysis of “Dark Shadows” as a Gothic Masterpiece
Analysis of "Dark Shadows" as a Gothic Masterpiece To most, when asked to define what Gothic is,
they will state that it is similar to any other story, just with more "darkness." This is because Gothic
stories all have a classic story line. First, there is the main character's back story, if any is then told.
Next, there are events that lead up to a horrible incident that is the climax of the story. Lastly, the
character finds some way to fix the situation or free him– or herself from it. They might go insane,
commit suicide, run away, or watch other characters perish. However, readers would be greatly
mistaken if they thought that this was all that there is to a Gothic story; there is much more to the

This also changed the anatomy of vampires. Classic vampires could be harmed with garlic or the
light. While the light hurt him, he was able to merely wear a hat and cloak and not be harmed.
However, there is still much more to Gothic Literature. According to Baldick, "For the Gothic effect
to be attained, a tale should combine a fearful sense of inheritance in time with a claustrophobic
sense of enclosure in space" (xix). A story can have Gothic tropes but not be Gothic. There are loads
of books that have murders and ghosts that aren't considered Gothic at all, like Harry Potter by J.K.
Rowling. His parents were killed and there was a ghost trapped in the girl's bathroom, but it isn't
Gothic at all. What makes a story Gothic is how it is told or portrayed. Sometimes, the scenes that
are used are to make the viewers question what is righteous and what is wicked. Burton shows this
with how he introduces his characters and their personalities. For the vampire Barnabas, he is
portrayed not as monster but as an unfortunate soul who has a curse that he is trying to rid himself
of. Instead of wanting to stay a vampire, he joins up with a local physician to try and find a cure to
make him human again. However, he still kills humans and drinks their blood. This makes the
audience question whether Barnabas is an evil vampire or a poor man with a curse due to this hidden
identity. This is also shown with

Hebrews : An Essay Depth Look At The Authorship And...
This paper will discuss the book of Hebrews with an in–depth look at the authorship and Hebrews
11. The book of Hebrews has fallen into a category of its own. The book quotes extensively from the
Old Testament. It proclaims that Jesus Christ is superior and Christianity over other religions,
including Judaism. The author demonstrates ways for following Jesus. It speaks to anyone who is
wondering why they should follow Jesus. For some twelve hundred years from 400AD to 1600AD
the book was commonly called the Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews. When we take a look at the
letters of Paul. They form some of the most famous yet recognized letters of the New Testament.
However, there are another group of eight letters. Hebrews being one of those letters. It is thought
that these letters are not truly letters. But a set of tracts or even written versions of sermons aimed at
the early Christian communities (Davis, 1998). According to Davis, Hebrews was probably aimed at
Jewish converts to Christianity. Because few non–Jewish Christians of the early period would not
have understood references to Noah, Abraham, Lot and other familiar Israelites. What also makes
Hebrews unique is that the date and authorship is unknown. Scholars believe that it was most likely
written between AD60–AD65. The book is not addressed to anyone specific. It begins without a
personal greeting typical of other New Testament letters. There are however, several theories as to
whom the author is. I will

Mahatma Gandhi : A Leader Of Indian Freedom Struggle
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (M.K. Gandhi) who is also known as Mahatma Gandhi, is a great
leader of Indian freedom struggle. While practicing the law his outlook got changed. He has turned
into a servant leader. Since then, Gandhi personifies the qualities of a servant leader. He has
demonstrated the principles of servant leadership. He believed in nonviolence (Ahimsa) and holding
on to the truth (Satyagraha) throughout his life (Barnabas & N Clifford, 2012). Servant Leadership
Principles Followed by Gandhi
Servant leadership follows 12 main principles. These include listening, empathy, healing, awareness,
persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, growth, building community, calling and
nurturing the spirit (Spears, n.d.). Gandhi applied all these principles in different occasions.
Application of the Servant Leadership Principles Gandhi made the Indian ambulance corps when he
was in South Africa with other Indian volunteers, to take care and heal the injured Zulus of the Zulu
rebellion (Barnabas & N Clifford, 2012). He demonstrated his empathy, healing and an awareness of
the needs of the people around him through this act. Gandhi gave up the pleasures in his life as a
barrister when he recognized his calling to release the Indians in South Africa from racial
discrimination. As a steward, he led the Indians to fight against this discrimination. He used the
strategy of nonviolence and holding on to the truth in all his fights (Barnabas & N Clifford, 2012).

Barnaba da Modena's 'The Virgin and Child': Analysis
The present work is focused on undertaking an in–depth analysis of two famous religious paintings:
The Virgin and Child by Barnaba da Modena, an Italian painter from the fourteenth century, and The
Elevation of the Cross by Peter Paul Rubens, a seventeenth century Flemish artist and diplomat.
Following, by comparison, a thorough account of the two works' features, careful observation
reveals more than one interpretation. The Virgin and Child was created by Barnaba da Modena in
1360, and is deemed Gothic in style. It depicts The Virgin Mary holding a Child Christ in her arms,
and rests undamaged to this day in Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. In terms of formal elements, it is
39.4 inches in height and 24.8 inches in width (100 x 63 cm), a religious painting executed by
means of tempera on panel. The enduring framing edges might indicate that the painting was
initially planned to be the central piece of a polyptych. A first impression is that of anachronism: its
opulent golden background and the intricate striation outlines on the Madonna's mantle seem to
indicate a much earlier conception, mainly Byzantine in nature. However, the Byzantine herring–
bone pattern is clearly endowed with a more modern linear roundness. Obvious from the start is the
artist's careful attention to details, illustrated in the richly decorated background and characters'
attire. Employing this general density automatically enhances the Virgin's gaze, making it charged
with severity, intense. On

Antioch: Antioch is an ancient capital city of Syria however is now located in southern Turkey. The
city was originally the capital of the Roman province of Syria although throughout history, Antioch
constantly transferred between Syria and Turkey. At the time of Saint Paul, Antioch was inside the
Syrian border, however in 1939, Antioch re–joined Turkey and has remained there. This city was
one of the earliest areas of Christianity and acted as the headquarters for Saint Paul from 47 – 55
CE. It was in Antioch that followers of Christ first called themselves Christians. Since the cities
founding in 300 BCE, it was also home to a large Jewish community Antioch: Antioch was the
starting location of Saint Paul's first evangelist journey in 47 AD. When Paul first arrived in
Antioch, there were already a number of followers of Jesus proclaiming the word of the lord to the
Gentile congregation present in Antioch, and Paul following his conversion to Christianity, joined
them. Whilst in

The Argument That Paul Could Be The Authorship Of Hebrews
In some other books of the Bible it states who the author is in the beginning of the book, but in
Hebrews the author is not stated. One argument says that Paul is the author and other argument says
otherwise. The 4 arguments that Paul could be the authorship of Hebrews is, "Paul's rabbinical
training under Gamliel, knowledge of Judaism, Paul's close relationship to Timothy, Peters reference
to the writing of Paul," (Peretti et al.2004, 34). Why would people think Hebrews is authored by
paul? The reason why some arguments say that is because of, "Paul's rabbinical training under
Gamliel and knowledge of Judaism" (Peretti et al.2004, 34). Paul had studied under Gamliel, which
makes a good argument that he would be the author of Hebrews. ... Show more content on

Past and presents scholars supported this theory. " For there is extant with an Epistle of the Hebrews
under the name of Barnabas– a man sufficiently accredited by God, as being one whom Paul has
stationed next to himself in the interrupted observance when Paul was not there" (Tertullian 20).
Likewise, Gregory of Elvira was a supporter of Barnabas writing Hebrews. Bishop of Brescia says
that the book of Hebrews was written from Barnabas. The suggestion that scholars assume that
Barnabas the author of Hebrews is, "he was a Levite of Cyprus" (Allen 2010, 41). Because Barnabas
was a Levite he had a big interest in the Old Testament and their sacrificial technique. Also,
Barnabas was an affiliate with the group called the Pauline circle. In that circle involved Timothy
and the author of Hebrew. It is said that the author of Hebrew known to have a relationship with
Timothy. Barnabas knew Timothy because he was in the area that Paul and Barnabas evangelized.
"The Hellenistic perspective in Hebrews suggests to some scholars that Barnabas was the author.
When the Antiochene Hellenists were evangelized, the church at Jerusalem sent Barnabas to
coordinate this new thrust" (Allen 2010, 41). Barnabas was known as a man who exhorts others, and
the author of Hebrews is called a "word of exhortation" (Hebrew 13:22). The last evidence that
shows that Barnabas might be the author of Hebrew is that the tone of Hebrew as a kind of Pauline
tone and

Crash because we see several stories towards a person's life in L.A. This is a world where slavery

thought something was suspicious so Officer Ryan starts patting down Christine Thayer, but really
he was molesting her rather than finding illegal substances or weapons. Hansen as he knew if he got

because the film was based on racism seeing Cameron Thayer was a black man and Officer Ryan
and Hansen were white they will blame Cameron though what Officer Ryan did to Christine Thayer
and Ryan will not be blamed for the crime seeing that this is a racist film. Cameron Thayer cannot
do anything or say anything about it, so that is why Cameron Thayer lives in torment because he

Anti Judaism Movement
Using the letter of Barnabas and the book of Hebrews as resources we begin to see the rise of the
anti–Judaism movement occur in Rome at what begins as a relatively harmless uprising. Anti–
Judaism literature began to be written when Christianity was not the official religion of the Roman
Empire, in fact, it accounted for a very small population of the Roman Empire. (Ehrman, 449) It is
believed that Christianity was not more prominent in Rome during this time because of the funding
and organization it required that was just not available for such a small group. (Ehrman, 449–450)
As Christianity became more prominent in Rome in the coming years, this is when the more harmful

The religion was very well known and organized throughout the society. (Ehrman, 450) Because of
this, the few early Christian writers began to feel "threatened" and needed to raise Christianity up by
dragging Judaism down with public knowledge hence the creation of public writings. All of the
writings had different focuses when it came to the part of Judaism it was degrading and as
mentioned became more aggressive as time went on. For example, the book of Hebrews makes the
claim that Judaism is the precursor to Christianity and that Jesus Christ is superior to all Jewish
religious figures, (Ehrman, 449) while the letter of Barnabas claimed that the Judaist religion is a
false religion and they have no right to the scriptures intended because of the now rising of
Christianity. (Ehrman, 447) Although both pieces degrade Judaism you can see a clear difference in
where the book of Hebrews just claims that Christianity is superior to Judaism versus the letter of
Barnabas that develops a clear attack on the Jewish religion by prosecuting them as a false religion.
Although the writers of each of these pieces could not predict the future outcomes for both religions,
the authors must take responsibility for what began the prosecution of the Jews and the devastation
they both lead

In The Case Of The Unhealthy Hospital, By Anthony R. Kovner
In the article, The Case of the Unhealthy Hospital, written by Anthony R. Kovner, a through
description of a struggling hospital, Blake Memorial Hospital, is given. This paper is a SWOT
analysis, and addresses the strengths and weaknesses within the hospital, as well as opportunities
and threats outside of the hospital and in the surrounding community. Although limited in
abundance, there are specific strengths of Blake Memorial Hospital, such as their new CEO, Bruce
Reid, and the strong community base and need for healthcare services. On the other hand,
weaknesses within the hospital and clinics, such as poor quality of care and facilities, and a low rate
of funding, contribute to the declining performance of the healthcare organization as a whole.
Outside of the organization are potential opportunities to cut costs by potentially closing clinics, and
as a result, better the quality of care give to patients with increased funding. There are also
opportunities to create an emphasis on the neighborhood clinics, for the poorer areas of the city, and
potentially increase the referrals to the hospital. Threats outside of Blake Memorial Hospital include
competing healthcare facilities such as St. Barnabas; being located in a poor, non affluent area; and
threats to cut funding if the clinics are closed. Overall, Blake Memorial Hospital has a variety of
different strengths and weaknesses inside of the organization, as well as opportunities and threats in

John Mark Research Paper
John Mark
John Mark was an important worker in the early church. He is referred to as both John and Mark in
the New Testament. He was the nephew of Barnabas.1 His mother was Mary at whose home in
Jerusalem believers gathered in fellowship.2 The early church historians record that he was Peter's
amanuensis and wrote the Gospel of Mark in Rome shortly after Peter's death.3
The tradition that John Mark is the author of the Gospel of Mark is reliable and supported by
external and internal evidence. In the writings of the early church fathers, Mark is described as
Peter's interpreter and the "author of a brief Gospel in accordance with what he had heard Peter
narrating."4 It is not clear if John Mark was a disciple of Jesus or an eyewitness to the events he
recorded. He traveled to Babylon with Peter who referred to John Mark as his son.5

Charles Spurgeon agreed with this view: "The modest spirit of Mark seemed to say, 'Friend Peter,
while the Holy Ghost moves me to, tell thy fault, and let it stand on record, he also constrains me to
write my own as a sort of preface to it, for I, too, in my mad, hare–brained folly, would have run,
unclothed as I was, upon the guard to rescue my Lord and Master; yet, at the first sight, of the rough
legionaries, at the first gleam of their swords, away I fled, timid, faint–hearted, and afraid that I

Paul And Barnabas: A Thematic Analysis
Paul and Barnabas had their fair share of opportunities to dispute their faith and Acts 15 is no
different. They were not in a strange position when a situations arose with men from Judea. In this
chapter Luke gives us the account of a conflict that was settled by the council at Jerusalem. It is hard
to tell if the men from Judea were being legalistic or if they were sincerely trying to obey the word
of God but was taught incorrectly until now. But either way there was a conflict that needed
resolved, a solution that was presented and who better to be in this debate then the apostle Paul
himself. Acts 15 verse one states the conflict, " And certain men which came down from Judea
taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be
saved." These men are siding with one must follow the law to be saved and Paul and Barnabas were
not pleased with this. Christians should not seek out conflict and debates but there are more
important issues that need to be addressed at times that require standing up. This was one of those
time where one would speak up on this issue. These men were clearly misled on how one is saved
and were teaching others the same incorrect doctrine. When the wrong doctrine is being taught then

Paul was defeated Christians and imprisoned them and he changed to defending the word of God.
Paul's life is a living example of the power and life changing ability that the gospel can have in
someone's life. Paul's heart was saved and changed on the road to Damascus. Once his heart

Wendel Meyer says of the Damascus Road Incident,
"...the scene is so powerful, so vivid and tangible, that it is easy for it to become the window through
which we view and engage the concept of Paul's conversion.In truth, however, we know that that
singular moment as dramatic and important as it proved to be, was only the first instilment of the
conversion of ... Paul.[4]" It is important to note that it did not take Saul long to form his theological

ideas after the Damascus Road Incident. There was no massive change in beliefs that Saul had to go
through. What changed in him was an additional piece added into what he already knew to be true.
The Hebrew Scriptures that formed Saul's beliefs had not been re–written. They were simply
fulfilled, as Mathew 5:17 states, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I
have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.[5]"
Paul's Life and Teachings
People had no idea what to make of the new Saul of Tarsus. Surely his behavior was a trick, a trap to
find Christians and kill them too. The reactions and emotions that rose up against Saul in the
beginning of his journey are logical and reasonable. Everyone was terrified of him. Here was the
man famous far and wide for killing people who claimed to follow a man named Jesus. Here he was,
standing in the temple preaching Jesus.

The Life Of Saint Paul 's Name After The Conversion Of...
Saint Paul's name before his conversion to Christianity was Saul, an individual who devoted his life
to the persecution of Christians and early disciples in Jerusalem. He was a Hebrew from the tribe of
Benjamin, a Pharisee, and someone who is very literate in Judaism faith as well. He was born into a
devout Jewish family in Tarsus of Cilicia, hence known as Saul of Tarsus, one of the major trade
centers on the Mediterranean Coast in present day Turkey. During his early life, he was sent to
Jerusalem to receive his education in classical literature, philosophy, law, and ethics under Rabbi
Gamaliel. Saul's early profession was tent–making, which eventually became the initial connection
with Priscilla and Aquila whom he partnered with and became vital mates as missionaries .
Furthermore, he took an active part in the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, first martyr and deacon, by
giving his approval and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him . Following his approval
of the mob's murderous actions, Saul ravaged the church, entering the homes of believers,
committing them to prison, and even locking up female believers.
On his way to Damascus from Jerusalem to further his persecution against Christians, Jesus
appeared to him in a great light, he fell on the ground, and heard a powerful voice that said unto
him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me "? Thus, according to the accounts in the book of Acts,
Saint Paul's conversion took place on the road to Damascus, where he

Saint Paul : The Life Of St. Paul
St. Paul was originally called Saul. Saul was a Roman Citizen as well as a Jew from Tarsus. He was
very highly educated in the Law of Moses and was a student of Gamaliel. Saul hated Christianity
and wanted to destroy Christians. When St. Stephen was killed, many Christians in Jerusalem fled to
Damascus and other places in order to protect themselves. Because of this, Saul went to Damascus
in order to persecute the Christians there. As Saul neared Damascus, a bright light flashed all around
him, blinding Saul. Then a voice from the light said, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" Saul
asked, "Who are you, Lord?" The voice then said, "I am Jesus whom you are persecuting." The
guards with Saul saw the bright light, but nobody else other than Saul heard the voice of Jesus.
When Saul got up, he was blind from the light so his companions led him into Damascus. He stayed
there blind for three days and during those three days, he neither drank or ate anything. There was a
disciple of Jesus in Damascus, whose name was Ananias. God told Ananias in a vision to go to Saul
and heal him of his blindness. Ananias was astonished that God told him to go and heal the worst
enemy of the Church, but the Lord, in turn, said "Go for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry
my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel." Ananias went to the house where
Saul was staying. He placed his hand on Saul and said, "Brother Saul, be filled with the Holy
Spirit." Right then, Saul regained his eyesight. After Ananias healed Saul from his blindness,
Ananias also baptized Saul. After Saul's baptism, Saul became an earnest follower of Jesus Christ.
Later, Saul had changed his name to St. Paul. From that point forward, St. Paul became the great
missionary of the early Church. In the New Testament, we can see fourteen letters written by St.
Paul to various churches. For St. Paul's first missionary, Barnabas and St. Paul went to Salamis,
where they preached the gospel in the synagogues of the Jews. They went to the whole island of
Salamis preaching the gospel and then they reached Paphos, where the Lord punished a magician for
his devilish acts to turn the Roman officer, Sergius Paulus,

Paul's Three Journeys
Paul's Three Journeys
Saul was a person who individually wronged Jesus. Paul was one who did everything possible to
further God's Kingdom. Saul and Paul were the same earthly person, but Saul was personally
confronted by Jesus after He rose from the dead. Jesus Himself questioned Saul as to why he
persecuted Him. After this encounter, his heart was transformed and as a Christian became known as
Paul. Paul was a tremendously devoted servant of God and set out to do God's work. Paul's work
consisted of three missionary adventures to Asia Minor, Greece, and Macedonia (Bartholomew and
Goheen 196, 204).
Paul's first journey entailed his travel with Barnabas to Cyprus in the year AD 47 (Elwell and
Yarbrough 244). He then continued on as a devout ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
He chose Ephesus, a leading town and the capital of the Roman area of Asia, to build and establish a
church (Elwell and Yarbrough 227). This very worthwhile journey lasted for over three years, which
was 54–57 AD. Paul observed the conversion of many hearts of those who were formerly devil
worshipers (Elwell and Yarbrough 227). Paul departed Ephesus and went to Macedonia and Greece
where he inspired churches in Athens, Corinth, Berea, Thessalonica, and Philippi. He spent three
months in Greece writing to the Christians in Rome. This was Paul's most famous letter. The letter
details the gospel and the association of the Jews and the Gentiles. Paul completes his journey by
going back to Jerusalem. At the request of the Jewish leaders, he is arrested by the Romans
(Bartholomew and Goheen 202–203). Paul stayed in prison for two years, and eventually the
charges were dropped (Elwell and Yarbrough 228–229). He is the one that delivered the gospel from
the original Jewish environment to the Gentiles, and as a great missionary helped to nourish
churches, furthering God's Kingdom (Bartholomew and Goheen

I wanted to be a Special Ed Teacher. My sophomore in year high school I had an opportunity to be

Act 15 And Galatians 2 Essay
Traveling from the church in Antioch to Jerusalem, Barnabas, Paul and Mark set out to spread the
Gospel. "Both Acts 15 and Galatians 2:1–10 detail a meeting in Jerusalem. Although they are not
identical, the overwhelming similarities suggest that both passages are indeed descriptions of the
same event." Based on the meetings written in Acts 15 and Galatians 2, they are both difficult to
comprehend as though it was the same event. A problem is mentioned that the missionaries
encounter when they reach the village. This problem concerns the teachings of the Mosaic Law and
current requirements that God asks from his people. The passages differentiate with the main
preachers that are involved. The conclusion is made that the two excerpts may be ... Show more
David Noel Freedman. New York: Doubleday, 1992). Luke was the author who may be responsible
for connecting the stories written in Acts 15 and Galatians 2:1–10. It is possible that he could of
have received, reported information at the same time; about the Jerusalem Council visit and the
famine visit. During the twentieth century, hypothetical opinions about the two stories caused a stir
up. There are numerous accounts of scholars who have argued if the two meetings were the same.
The passage of Acts contains less credibility than the visit written in Galatians. Problems can be
found in John Knox's three–visit hypothesis, when analyzing other scholars thoughts. The
conclusion is set that details were left out in both passages, and it is possible that the story recorded
in Galatians concerns the Jerusalem Council visit(Longenecker, Richard N. Galatians. Word Biblical
Commentary. Dallas: Word, 1990). The connection between Acts 15 and Galatians 2 is overall to be
a mistake made from the author Luke. The two passages are analyzed and broken down by scholars
as they research a conclusion for this mystery. The major compliment that is included in both books
is that Paul was on a mission to solve the problem referring to the Old Law with leaders and God's
people. Luke gave

Conflict Resolution Of The United States
This year students have taken a rather exciting adventure into the wonderful world of conflict
resolution; more importantly, conflict resolution in the church. For the past six weeks students have
constantly studied the different type of conflicts as well as the different methods of resolving the
conflicts in question. This paper will cover a variety of the types of conflicts and some of the
resolution learned in the class this year. In addition to that, the paper will also detail different case
studies of the Bible where these particular conflicts are shown, how they developed, and finally,
how they were resolved.
One of the first examples of conflict resolution we discovered was conflict that is resolved by
cessation of proximity. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Paul not really wanting a repeat of what transpired in the past actually disagrees with Barnabas.
Even though Mark is involved in the conflict, the actually conflict is between the close friends Paul
and Barnabas. There was an underlying issue that most don't see without adequate Bible Study;
Mark and Barnabas were cousins. Nevertheless, the motivating interest in the conflict was that Paul
for one did not want another repeat where a brother would desert him while preaching the Gospel of
the Lord. Secondly, Paul more than likely questioned Mark's faith in Christ after he fled so easily the
first time. The conflict yet is finally resolved when Paul and Barnabas that the cessation of
proximity approach and split from each other. This is one of the saddest splits of the Bible in the
eyes of many scholars. After this conflict, Paul and Barnabas are never mentioned together again.
We should learn to take out relationships more seriously and attempt every effort of reconciliation
before they consider this damaging route of relationship destruction.
Another conflict resolution method is attempting to resolve a conflict by speaking the truth in love.
This in all aspects will take the power of God and the Holy Spirit; all have heard the saying that "It's
not what you say, but how you say it". This is where speaking truth in love comes into play in a
matter of conflict resolution. As the Bible states on the subject of love, "Love is

The Epistle Of Barnabas Research Paper
"Having received the forgiveness of sins, and placed our trust in the name of the Lord, we have
become new creatures, formed again from the beginning." (Barnabas, The Epistle of
Barnabas).Throughout The Epistle of Barnabas, there is a reoccurring theme of forgiveness and
salvation through belief in Jesus Christ; whether through the comparison of the Jews verses the
Christian faith, the explanation of the New Covenant, or the two ways of doctrine and authority.
There is a big emphasis on the fact that real salvation and forgiveness of the Jews was not a real
faith, but was a culture of work–based faith. Barnabas helped give modern–day Christians hope in
acceptance, salvation, and laid out a plan for the right way to follow God. ... Show more content on

The temple in Jerusalem being cast down was a very important historical event for every believer to
come. The people of that time thought that the physical temple in Jerusalem was the only place God
dwelt. The temple was their center of life and they trusted in the temple more than they trusted in
God himself. The Bible makes a slight hint that the destruction of the temple was an event sent by
God saying, "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the Lord will deliver up the sheep of His
pasture, and their sheep–fold and tower, to destruction." However, this is also a warning and
prophecy for what is to come during the end of the world. God wanted to show the believers back
then that He rests in them and that their body and soul become where
He resides.
"The Two Ways of Doctrine" are a short part of The Epistle of Barnabas, but they are highly
important to the Christian faith. The first way, the way of light, tells future believers that if they
want to go somewhere they must be zealous in their work, they must love God and glorify Him, they
must hate to do what is unpleasing, not commit adultery, love their neighbor more than themselves,
not claim things as their own, along with so many other things. The second

My Second Clinical Day At Saint Barnabas Hospital
My second clinical day took place on September 24th, 2015 at Saint Barnabas Hospital in
Livingston, New Jersey. My preceptor Maria Brilhante, MSN, RN, allowed me to observe the
morning huddle that took place with all the nurse managers that are in the hospital. The purpose of
this huddle was to keep the director of nursing informed about the census on each unit. I found this
processed to be very uniformed and professional because the DON was engaged. The day went on
with me attending meetings on how managers could implement plans to contain cost for the
hospital. Maria did her daily rounds on her patients and her nursing staff. She has a folder that
contains papers on how each nurse is progressing from the time they get off orientation. Her motto
to the nurses is, "You are good at what you do, so when I coach don't take offense. I am only trying
to get you to be great". This boost their confidence which I thought to be important.
Objective 3– Explain the interrelation among theory, practice, and research and describe how to
identify practice discrepancies between standards and practice that may affect patient outcomes. In
nursing, there is a strong relationship between theory, practice, and research. The nursing curriculum

foundation. It allows a student to piece information together to see the main idea. A student must
first know what the profession stands for. The concepts

an unshakeable confidence and faith in God. He was overjoyed to see the grace of God. He is
enthusiastic to do whatever church leaders needed. In addition, Barnabas encouraged the believers
to remain faithful to the Lord with all their heart. Having a humble heart was an important piece as a
Christian. According to the bible, in James 4;6, it states, "But he gives more

John W. Yengo, Sr, who had been admitted to the hospital suffering from a photoallergic reaction to

AIDS patient who died after being given an overdose of insulin. Cullen left St. Barnabas in January
1992 when hospital authorities began investigating who had contaminated IV bags. An internal
investigation at St. Barnabas determined that Cullen was most likely responsible for the
contaminations, resulting in dozens of patient deaths at the hospital. One month after leaving St.
Barnabas, Cullen took a job at Warren Hospital in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. After overdosing three
elderly women on digoxin (heart medication), he broke into a co–workers house and began stalking
her. He then pleaded guilty to the charges and received one year probation. In April 2004, Cullen

she manages are medical– surgical, bariatric, and stroke. The day began with me observing what
goes on the unit during shift– to– shift handoff communication. I was introduced to the staff of all
three units. On this day the unit was going through their last day of renovation. Maria had to wear a
hat of an interior designer for one of her unit where here main office is located. We laughed and
joked about it. Other mangers and physicians commended her on being able to still effectively

Barnabas
Barnabas was an enormously influential individual in the early church that does not get much
recognition. Although he was not one of the original apostles, he significantly enhanced the ministry
of the apostles. Barnabas had a part in impacting many lives for the cause of Christ. He legitimized
Paul, rehabilitated John Mark, and helped fund the church in Jerusalem. Without Barnabas, the early
church may have been very different than it turned out to be.
Barnabas is first introduced in Acts 4. His given name is Joses, and the Bible says that the apostles
surname him, Barnabas. This is a very meaningful name, and it is informative on how the apostles
saw Joses. The name Barnabas means, "the son of consolation." It is evident that Barnabas ... Show

During this portion of the trip, Paul and Barnabas journeyed through the central region of Asia
Minor. Paul preached a salvation message to the Jews in Antioch Pisidia. After the message, many
of the Jews followed after Paul and Barnabas who persuaded the Jews to continue in the grace of
God. The next Sabbath, almost the whole city came to hear the Word of God from Paul and
Barnabas, but the religious Jews spoke against Paul. The Bible says that Paul and Barnabas waxed
bold, and they told the Jews that the Gospel would now go to the Gentiles because of their unbelief.
When the Gentiles heard this message, they rejoiced, glorified the Word of the Lord, and believed.
The Jews stirred up an insurgency and started to persecute Paul and Barnabas, and the Jews expelled
the men of God from their coasts. Paul and Barnabas' response was to shake off the dust from their
feet. The same thing happened to them in Iconium (Acts 13:14–Acts 14:6). After that, they fled to
the cities of Lycaonia. In the city of Lystra, Paul healed a man who could not walk. After this
miracle, the people of the city cried out, "The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men"
(Acts 14:11). The people said that Barnabas was Jupiter and Paul was Mercury because he was the
chief speaker. When Barnabas and Paul understood what was happening, they rent their clothes and
begged the people to stop. They explained to the people that they were men just like them, and
Barnabas and Paul told them that they should turn from that empty worship to the one True God

How Did Zeus Influence Roman People
Although not always mentioned in the Bible, Roman gods impacted the lives of people in the Bible
times a lot. One of the more significant Roman gods, Zeus, was highly respected for his power and
authority. In the book of Acts, two disciples, Paul and Barnabas, healed a crippled man while
traveling through a town called Lystra. The crowd praised them and said, "These men are gods in
human form!" They called the Barnabas, the man traveling with Paul, Zeus. Zeus was a well
honored and powerful god at the time, so it was thought that only a god like Zeus could do
something so miraculous. While Zeus filled the spirit of some people at that time, the true God was
in complete control despite what of the people at Lystra thought. Although Zeus is not ... Show more
In the book of Acts as Paul continues on his first missionary journey with Barnabas, they make their
way into the city of Lystra where Paul was being called to. In Lystra a lame man was there who was
never able to walk! In Acts 14 it states that the man had great enough faith to be healed. Since Paul
saw that he had great faith he said to the man, "Stand up on your feet!" Then man began to walk!
The people at Lystra said, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" Based off all the myths
about Roman gods and interactions with human beings, it was highly believable to people in that
time that such a god would be able to heal a lame man's hand in Lystra! Back in the day people
believed Roman gods were working behind the scenes to make nature work the way it does. For
most people they did not incorporate Roman gods into their religion or belief, just as a way to
interpret and explain how stuff was happening around them. However, according to Mythology:
Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, Zeus, the Father god, played part in people's religion. People
depended on him for stuff, such as rain, so they began to worship him in order to please him
(Hamilton). Since there was a temple outside of the city of Lystra they began to offer bulls and
wreaths to him because they thought Zeus was the one to do such a miracle. However, when Paul
and Barnabas heard and saw all of this, they became absolutely furious.

The City Of Secavation: Alexander The Great Cities
The city of Antioch was founded around the end of the 4th century BC by one of Alexander the
Great's generals, in the southern part of where we now have modern day Turkey. Antioch was called
"the cradle of Christianity" because of its long resulting and pivotal role it played in early
Christianity. Antioch was a large city with a population of about 500,000 people. It began to decline
during the Middle Ages due to war, earthquakes, and changes in trade routes. Antioch lies within the
intersection of two major trade routes from the Mediterranean, in a plain near Antioch Lake. Early
missionaries were attracted to Antioch because of the city's large Jewish population. Amongst the
early missionaries that visited Antioch were Peter first and later

Barnabas In The Book Of Acts
Barnabas is mentioned all throughout the book of Acts, especially in relation to Paul. They both
went on mission together, and suffered much together as well. Barnabas is introduced in Acts 4:36,
"Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a
Levite, a native of Cyprus, sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the
apostle's feet" (ESV). He too became an apostle and did many things for the kingdom. Perhaps one
of his greatest actions, in my opinion, is described in Acts chapter 9. After Paul escapes from the
Jews he attempts to join the disciples, but they were afraid of him because of his past. That is when
Barnabas sticks up for him. "But Barnabas took him and

customers who are the patients their interests are met. If the hospital is lacking in providing the best
quality of care for its community and the community is in high needs of the care than the CEO's of

He tried to talk to the CEO of St. Barnabas but he said, "Competition is the only way to survive"
(Kovner, p. 137). Blake Memorial Hospital was already in a huge debt and Reid could only borrow
a certain amount since the hospital had to pay its previous debt, so Reid thought of cutting down the
costs. He also thought closing down the clinics would give a great boost to the financial condition of
Blake Memorial leading to provide better quality of care for the patients. But there was a debate
about closing the clinics because the director of clinics of Blake Dr. Susan Russell didn't want the
clinics to shut down. She argued that the patients that visit the clinics they wouldn't visit the hospital
even if they were getting free transportation provided. Reid was confused about how he should
improve the quality of care and manage the financial records of his hospital that was in charge of.
He asked Dr. Russells to send him the report of clinics records to see what kind of patients come in
and for what services.
Strengths:
In this unhealthy hospital case there weren't many strengths to be seen from reading the case
because lot of negative sides of the hospital were mentioned. Renovating the building and fixing all
the leakages that are occurring so it actually looks like aesthetic place so the patient's can actually
feel more comfortable with a better looking place for their treatment. By keeping in mind of the long

Scripture On Conflict
Conflict. It surrounds and permeates every part of humanity. Everyone deals with it. Nations,
schools, churches, families, and individuals all must handle conflict from time to time. So, with all
this conflict, how are we supposed to know the correct way to handle it all? Scripture is full of
various kinds of conflict. Within the Bible, examples of how to and how not to manage every kind
of conflict lines the pages. Scripture provides the ultimate basis for God's plan to resolve conflict.
An Example of Cessation of Proximity In Acts 15:36–41, an interesting conflict sparks between two
of the greatest missionaries in the New Testament. Paul and Barnabas had traveled together on
Paul's first recorded missionary journey. If the results written in Acts 13:4–12 are any indication, the
two men appear to have made quite the team. What could have caused a conflict so great that the
only way to resolve it would be separation? Also going along on Paul's first missionary was
Barnabas' cousin John Mark. However, when Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark reached the city of
Perga in Asia Minor he left the group and returned to Jerusalem. Scripture does not cite any reason
or provide any explanation. John Mark simply left. Fast forward to Paul's second missionary
journey. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Fortunately, a wise town clerk had the courage to address the massive throng. Following a lengthy
speech, the town clerk "dismissed the assembly" and the conflict was terminated. Because of the
council of Paul's companions (who insisted that Paul should not address the angry crowd), Paul was
unharmed and the town clerk's speech reminded the people that conflicts ought to be handled
