How Does Martin Luther King Have Disinterested Love
According to Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, the novel was a "love story, plain and simple." Throughout the novel, Ms. Lee
displayed "love" through the actions of the main characters. However, the definition of love may not be the common, affectionate feelings between
two people. Based on the article, "An Experiment in Love," by Martin Luther King, he explained how love, or "agape," could have several different
connotations. Harper Lee was able to demonstrate Matin Luther King's concept of love through several different character interactions. First, Martin
Luther King described his concepts of love as the Greek word, agape which could be related to the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird, in which the black

The basic point King brought up claims that agape "springs from the need of the other person– his need for belonging to the best in the human family"
(King 19). Here the audience can see that the origin of love (agape) came from the need of another person's will to belong to the best. King is
trying to get the audience to make the connection that individuals who practice agape are the best in the human family, and this is proven as he
later on says, "The Samaritan who helped the Jew on the Jericho Road was "good" because he responded to the human need that he was presented
with" (King 19). This statement by Dr. King was closely related to the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird in which Boo Radley had secretly put a
blanket around Scout when she was "busy looking at the fire" (Lee 96). As Harper Lee describes, Scout was busy staring at the fire and not even
paying attention to Boo Radley. Even then, Boo showed signs of agape as he decided to cover up Scout in case she was cold in the night without
expecting anything in return such as a "thank you." Boo Radley did not need to nurture Scout that night, but because he did, Harper Lee showed
another one of King's concepts because of Boo's desire to help others in need and to be a better person overall. Towards the final chapters of the novel,
Boo demonstrated agape again as he

Colossians 3
Colossians 3 is saying that we have to become someone new in Christ. In Colossians verse 1, it said that we should seek heavenly things not the things

In Colossians 3:22, it said" Bondservants, obey in everything those who are you earthly master, not by way of eye–services, as people–pleasers, but
with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord." In Matthew 19:19, it said that we should love our neighbor as ourself. I think this relates to one another
because in both of the passages, it said that we should love one another. In Colossians 3:22, it said "Bondservants, obey in everything those who are
you earthly master, not by way of eye–services, as people–pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.". The word Bondservant is another
word for slaves. In the Greek, the word bondservant in not used but the word slave is. In Ephesians 6:5, it talks about how bondservant to obey
your master. Ephesians 6:5 said "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey
Christ." It relates because they both talk about how slaves should obey their masters and it also talks about the heart. The last word is heart. The
definition for heart is inner life. In Matthew 13:19, it said that the evil one snatches the heart. They relate because they both talk about the heart and
how we have to be sincere to God and fear him. If we don't, the "evil one" will snatch our hearts away and we will fall astray from

Philos, Eros, & Agape Love in Religion Essay
Philia, eros, and agape are three different Greek terms for the word. These three terms explain the different types of love a human being can acquire.
Philia is a love of friendship, which is grounded in commonality. However, eros is a kind of love that seeks something from the other person or thing.
Lastly, agape is the love that wills the good of the other and is completely self–giving. The meanings of these Greek terminologies, philia, eros, and
agape, allow us to better understand and discuss our relationship with God and human fulfillment. In order to find human fulfillment, one must find
God of Jesus Christ as well. Erotic loving is our desire for this fulfillment, which can be seen through eros. Human nature can be simply defined ...

Sartre attested that the human being is a useless passion due to our insatiable desires. Markedly, human beings desire to retain the infinite and that
need is simply impossible. For the search for the unlimited is tiresome and unappeasable. Conversely, there is an alternate way of looking at eros.
In order to have hope, God has to appear to human life as not a receding horizon but an absolute savior. Human beings long for the truth and due to
the constraints of science and history, Jesus is seen in an alternate way because he is no longer limited by space or time. In this case, Karl Rahner and
Saint Augustine both agree that God always initiates the relationship with human life. Namely, they asserted that we are constantly drawn to God and
God is not drawn to us. Because of this, we have the option of forming a better relationship with God. Rahner said that God dispenses his grace to all
human beings of every religion in and God is continually accepting. Chiefly, it is not God's choice to accept or deny us, for that is not his matter
.
Anthony De Mello describes another explanation of human fulfillment to us. He explains to us that in order to have human fulfillment, we must detach
ourselves from our worldly attachments. As human beings, we allow ourselves to believe that we cannot be happy without a certain thing or person in
our life. Thus, that is not

What Does Redemptor Hominis Mean
In John Paul II's encyclical letter, Redemptor Hominis, the pope states in his first few words that Christ is the redeemer of man, "THE REDEEMER
OF MAN, Jesus Christ, is the centre of the universe and of history." (Redemptor Hominis, 1). But what could John Paul II mean by this? We know
from the Bible that God sent Jesus Christ to earth to save man from sin. In order to be saved from sin, one must understand the 'truth'. The truth is the
way of God. The truth sets mankind free from sin and allows them to live an eternal life through God. "We see Christ as the one who brings man
freedom based on truth, frees man from what curtails, diminishes and as it were breaks off this freedom at its root, in man's soul, his heart and his
conscience." (Redemptor ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Once man is freed from his sins and ignorance, man can learn the truth about the nature of God, "The Declaration on Religious Freedom shows us
convincingly that, when Christ and, after him, his Apostles proclaimed the truth that comes not from men but from God 'my teaching is not mine,
but his who sent me',... they preserved, while acting with their full force of spirit, a deep esteem for man, for his intellect, his will, his conscience
and his freedom" (Redemptor Hominis, 12). It has been referenced that the truth has the ability to set one free, "Jesus Christ meets the man of every
age, including our own, with the same words: "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free"" (Redemptor Hominis, 12). True freedom is
the ability to be authentically free. Authentic freedom entails a relationship with God, "Jesus sought to free people from false, material beliefs by
imparting to them a truer idea of God and our relationship to Him, offering everyone refuge in Christ." (Bulloch, 1). However, there is also a negative
aspect involved with being truly free. One must refrain from superficial freedom. Superficial freedom cannot set one free because freedom can only be
achieved through truth, and the truth is something only God can offer. Therefore, freedom is only available through redemption and

Classification Essay: What Are The Different Types Of Love?
Love comes in various types and forms. The same love someone might feel for a friend isn't the same as the love a person might feel for a partner or a
tv show or a family member. There are various terms for different types of love, Agape, Eros, Storge, Mania, Pragma, Ludus and Philia are the six
main types of love that people experience. Agape is allegedly the highest form of love, it's unconditional love that people will love the other person
no matter what, it surpasses physical love and enters into spiritual love. Love for God or for one another. Eros is love that is of love and erotic or
intimate love, in which it focuses primarily on beauty or physical attraction sexually. Storge, is a slow growing love for family, friends and
commitment and similar interests rather than passion. Mania is the love of wanting to be loved and being extremely possessive and obsessively
jealous, seeing themselves as special. Pragma relies on logic and background, the love type wants everything in their relationship to work out and
everything desired to be filled. Ludus love is love that requires an aspect of entertainment from each other, and as long as the partners are interesting
they will stay with them. Finally, Philia, is the love for 'brothers' or being in a team or group, working together and loving who they work with. The

Agape By Greek Summary
Slide 1:
Nisan
In English, there is only one word for "love." In Greek, there are three. "Eros" is the physical love, "Philia" is brotherly love, or sisterly love shared
amongst siblings and close friends. "Agape" is a love that gives and asks nothing in return.
All three can be experienced in different varieties, but each carries great burdens. Eros must remember that the other is a living, breathing being, not
just an object. Philia must not take unjust, selfish advantage of the other. Agape does all those things above and much more, with no expectation of
return. Agape is a love that does not require that the other should meet high standards of beauty, nor of brains, nor of brawn. Agape gives without
question, or reason, a God love, you might say, something that Hephaestus wasn't seen as worthy of.

foresight, stewardship, growth, and community building." Again, it should be noted that although Greenleaf (1977) uses the term "calling," he does

Agape Love: A Reoccurring Theme with Elizabeth Barrett...
Within Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poems, "How Do I Love Thee (Let Me Count the Ways)", "Love", and "A Man's Requirements", a reoccurring
theme of agape, unconditional, love appears. In these three poems, her expression of love is very evident and clear. However, the way she expresses
love is quite different than many poets have and continue to do. Instead of showing love by saying she feels it or explaining her passion, she says she is
committed and will love the reader through every emotion, experience, and circumstance.
"How do I love thee (Let me count the ways)" has line after line of evidence to justify the theme of agape love, but whom the audience is supposed
to be is left for each individual reader to decide, because the way she wrote is makes is available to all age groups. The very first line, "How do I
love thee, Let me count the ways" draws the reader in and tells exactly what the poem is about. From there on out, the speaker describes how free
and true her love is. By giving her love and commitment limits that cannot be reached, the speaker gives a more in depth idea of her feelings to the
reader .Every line allows the reader to examine how true the speakers proclaimed love is, however, three parts particularly stand out. The first is, "I
love thee to the depth and breadth and height/ My soul can reach" (2–3). This line tells the reader that the speaker's love is everlasting and will never
reach an end. "I love thee purely, as they turn from praise" (8)

Martin Luther King's Speech On Agape Love
Martin Luther King tells us in his work, Agape Love, that"...when you come to love on this level you begin to love men not because they are likable,
not because they do things that attract us, but because God loves them and here we love the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that
the person does" (32). Martin Luther King lived during a time of great turmoil in the United States. He lived during a time where a very large group of
segregationists main goal was to keep their synthetic sense of superiority over the African Americanrace. Of course, Martin Luther King did not stand
for this contorted representation of his people and he decided to do something about it. Martin Luther King grew up in a family of pastors and he
too became a pastor. I mention this to give background to King's use of christianity's teachings throughout his various speeches. Being a religious
man, King abstained from violence wherever possible, which was one of his main strategies against violent segregationists because he believed that
no one, no matter how violent they are, can keep attacking a group of people who refuse to fight back and at some point have to realize that African
Americans aren't a threat to them. King's goal in his speeches is to gain equality for every man, woman, and child no matter the color of their skin.
He knew that he had to bring every race together in order to achieve true equality, and he could not do so by using violence as a means to an end.

Agape Love Analysis
Paul states at the end of chapter 13, "the greatest of these is love". Love is a common word used in modern day society through many types of
expressions. It may describe the emotion towards an object of affection, or it may be used as an over dramatization of a liking one takes to a certain
type of food per–say. Its used to describe feelings toward a sexual relationship, or feelings towards family member, or friends. In the English language,
there is an almost limitless amount of uses for that one little word. Yet, in the time of this letterlove as agape love was not a common terminology for
what Paul was expressing. Therefore this paper plans to touch on what exactly it means when a Roman Jewish man, growing up and proclaiming the
Gospel to a Hellenistic society in 57 AD claims that "the greatest of these(faith, hope, love) ...is love".
Background of the Passage Paul sent the letter to the Roman city of Corinth, a city known for its immorality. Though they had many gods and
goddesses, one of the main temples was dedicated to the goddess of love, Aphrodite, which in her temple had hundreds of temple prostitutes (pg. 5,
Kistemaker). Along with this temple, there were many other temples and religious centers, even Jewish synagogues, which were dispersed throughout
Corinth (pg. 3, Fee). It was a very diverse city filled with Jews, Greeks, slaves, free, prostitutes, ex–soldiers, etc. The church in Corinth was started by

"Wait in line? Who do you think I am?" replied Lucian. By cutting the line rudely and pay for the tickets for his friend and their girlfriends with a
handful of money, Lucian obviously wants to impress his girlfriend by showing how manly and respectful he is. Furthermore, when they get on the
bumper–cars, Lucian pushes away others to get on the car, runs his car wildly, and deliberately knocks off stranger's hat from behind. Unfortunately,
Lucian's attempt of using a rude attitude to exhibit his masculinity turns out to be a complete failure as he knocks off Jean's hat and gets slapped by
him. At that moment, Lucian is slammed back to whom he really is, the coward that wouldn't even fight back when he is being slapped. In the same

Joseph Fletcher Situation Ethics
Situation Ethics is a relative theory; this means that it is situation specific. It treats each situation on its own merits. It is also consequential; this means
that it is concerned solely with the consequences of an action, not the action itself. Joseph Fletcher was the scholar who created the concept of
Situation Ethics. Situation Ethics arose at a time when Society was becoming far more liberal and the emancipation of sexuality and women and the
civil rights movement all led to a far freer society with regards to morality and following absolute rules.
Joseph Fletcher came up with the mantra for Situation Ethics, 'what is the most loving thing I can do in this situation'. He encouraged the use of
Agape– unconditional love and the ability to act altruistically. This was written in his book 'Situation Ethics' in 1966. The Bible was a great influence on
Fletcher and his use of Agape. For example, in Deuteronomy 6:4–6 'love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your

Theme Of Love In A Midsummer Night's Dream
An Analysis of Love in A Midsummer Night's Dream
Love within the modern society has taken on a flippant meaning, depending on the phraseology used around the context of the word. Love is used
interchangeably with the idea that "I love apple pie" to "I love this new car" to the point in which the term love is devalued within our society. How can
one say they love their spouse or children and not devalue the true meaning of this intent, when they claim to love apple pie as well? Within the play
A Midsummer Night's Dream, a careful evaluation of the various love within the play will reveal the difference in the types of love one might feel to
describe various situations and relationships. In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, love... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Titania wakes from a sleep to fall in love with Bottom, who has the head of an ass, while Lysander awakes to find himself in love with Helena, who
he has shown no interest prior to the application of the love juice (Bevington, 2014, p. 55). This love juice application is the ultimate form of
forced love, in which there is manipulation of the mind to induce the love, rather than a change in the heart to create a true love. A true love
creates a romantic love in which two people feel the love between them, and this leads into the second form of love depicted by Shakespeare, the
love described as Eros love, is the love between Lysander and Hermia. Eros love is a love that cannot be obtained between siblings or friends, but
only attainable within a form of erotic and sexual love, as found between two lovers, such as husband and wife (Moseley, n.d.). The love between
the two of these characters is a real love that does not require a "love potion" to create the love. Hermia displays this love well with her statement "I
would rather my father looked but with my eyes", where she indicates the love she has for Lysander, can only be seen through the lens of her eyes
(Bevington, 2014, p. 47). This love comes from the truest sense of the word where they each have a desire for the other, from a love that requires no
outside influence or assistance, but is created in the heart of each of the lovers. Parental

Phantom of the Opera
Obsession; the Mask of Love
In examining the libretto The Phantom of the Opera, the interactions and attitudes of the characters, and the language used, I will show how the
Phantom's obsession over Christine, although at times destructive, leads to his change from an evil and selfish villain, to a remorseful and
compassionate hero. To understand the psyche of the Phantom, one must first have a brief overview of the play.
In 1984 Andrew Lloyd Webber, transformed the original The Phantom of the Opera novel (written in 1911 by Gaston Leroux) into a dialogic,
emotional masterpiece. The prologue starts at the end of the story, in an auction in the Paris Opera House, in 1905. Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny is
buying a papier–mГўchГ© music box, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I hear you! Speak – I listen... stay by my side, guide me! Angel, my soul was weak – forgive me... enter at last, Master!" (1.3). Her words do not have
any underlying fear or distress. She's asking for his forgiveness, and looking to please her mentor. The Phantom loves her and she sees him as a caring,
fatherly figure.
After Raoul wins over Christine's heart, the Phantom becomes jealous. He mimics Christine and Raoul's love song to each other:
I gave you my music, made your song take wing...
And now, how you've repaid me: denied me and betrayed me...
He was bound to love you when he heard you sing...
You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you...
(1.10)
Becoming more threatening to Christine, the Phantom makes her fearful of him. After he lashes out at her for removing his mask, saying "You little
demon, is this what you wanted to see? [...] now you cannot ever be free" (1.6), Christine runs to Raoul and tells him that they will be "safe on the
roof" and that "his eyes will find [her] there" (1.10). The use of the words safe and find, indicate that she no longer wants to be near the Phantom.
Christine begs Raoul to help her get away from him;
Raoul, it scares me – don't put me through this ordeal by fire... he'll take me, I know... we'll be parted forever, he won't let me go... what I once
dreamed I now dread, if he finds me, it won't ever end... and he'll always be there, singing songs in my head...

The Is The Grace Of Life
Your wife as Peter says is the grace of life. She is your true companion. You get to share an intimate fellowship and companionship with your wife and
she is one of the greatest and most blessed gifts that God has given to you.
Husbands, die to self and show honor to your wife because she deserves it. Put aside your desires, your preferences, what you want, and get to know
what your wife needs, and then do everything you can to meet those needs. That is sacrificial love.
For the husband who is loving and caring, God promises that your prayers won't be hindered. If you, as a husband, do not take care of your wife, you
are not sacrificial, loving, caring, then God says your prayers will be hindered.
Remember what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13? Verse 5, "Love does not seek its own." Husbands, make sacrifices for your wife, put her interests
before your own, and demonstrate the kind of sacrificial love that Christ gives to us.
I understand this type of love is a great challenge for you husbands. We can't love perfectly as Christ loves us. But our love for our wives can and
should demonstrate the same type of love He has for us. Christ died on the cross for us, demonstrating a sacrificial love, with Him expecting nothing
in return, and His love for us cost Him His life. That is the same kind of love you are to have for your wives.
Second, Christ's love for the church is sanctifying love.

Groundhog Day
The movie Groundhog Day, is labeled as a comedy, but in fact it is a story about love, a story about Phil's transformation based on love. Phil his
character is forced to repeat the same day over and over again. He goes through many phases in this movie and in the end changing his persona. When
analyzing love, it becomes apparent that much has been written about it. In fact, love has been broken down into different phases such as Eros, Philia
and Agape. Being trapped in Groundhog Day has significant effects on Phil's practices of these three kinds of love Eros, Philia and Agape.
One significant effect on Phil being trapped in Groundhog Day is his practice of Eros. According to the article, "Conceptions of Love", Eros love can

One of the most remarkable scenes in the movie, is when he realizes that despite the entrapment of himself, he couldn't control what happened in life
at the end of the day. The same homeless man he ignored the whole time is dying right in front of him and when he realizes that the man will
eventually die. He uses his entrapment to make the man feel special, even though the homeless man has no idea he is dying, Phil takes him to the
restaurant to eat all he wants. He also takes him to the doctor and keeps him warm through the cold nights, but no matter what Phil does, he can't
control death. That's when it finally hits him. No matter how powerful he felt because of the entrapment, he wasn't able to keep the old man from
dying. Phil showed his emotions by caring for others.
The most important effect on Phil being trapped in Groundhog Day is his practice of Agape. According to the article, "Right From the Heart,
What is Love Anyways", agape love is unconditional love. It is a choice made to love another person whether they love us back or not. Although
it is easy to recognize Phil's practice of Eros and Philia, Phil's practice of Agape is developed until the end of the movie. Phil had no regard towards
agape love in the beginning of the movie. He never really cared for no one in any way, he didn't even love himself enough to know when he was

In the Redeemer's Hands
Summary of Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands
Paul D. Tripp authored a work that promotes the world of biblical counseling that is not bound to a professional clinical model but incorporates the
daily ministry lifestyle founded on the Scriptures. Tripp emphasizes the gospel of Jesus Christ as the hope for those who have lost hope. The moment
when sin entered the world through Adam's fall brought forth guilt, fear, and shame became the standard. In a few pages, Tripp wrote the story of the
Fall and the implications of sin towards the human race. The disconnect between God and mankind became prevalent; He sent His only son to save the
world and provide a gift that would keep those faithful to Him: hope. Jesus Christ, the Son of God has set the paradigm of which His followers must
imitate because He has masterfully counseled those who were suffering and sick. As Christ reflected this model in several ways, Tripp also
elaborates on the importance of actively empathizing while being involved in the midst of the person's suffering. Personal ministry is a challenging
field of work that will require sacrifice and delving into people's mess just as Jesus loved his church, Paul's ministry and discipleship to the churches
of his time, and more that can be found in the Bible. There is also an emphasis on the integrity of the spiritual life of the counselor being kept
accountable at all times; the heart issue of man has to be cautioned against and examined deeply because from it all

Forms Of Love : The Influence Of Divine Love
The Influence of Divine Love Throughout most world religions, the topic of love and its various forms have been analyzed in hopes of developing a
true appreciation for the sacred. Some writers, specifically C.S. Lewis, devoted much of their work to studying love in a religious sense and how it
relates the spiritual and non–spiritual world. Lewis was able to deduct that love was represented in two major forms, earthly and divine. Divine love
nurtures all earthly loves and is the means of forming a spiritual relationship with God. Lewis argues that humans dedicate too much love to
irrelevant, earthly comforts and yet fail to love what truly matters. C.S. Lewis devoted much of his life's work to exploring the different forms of
love that are represented in Christianity. He claimed that there are two major categories of love: earthly and divine. The two can act as separate
entities, but divine love often develops most earthly loves. Another term that is synonymous with divine love is agape. Lewis claims that agape love
is the sacred gift of pure love that is responsible for developing a deeper connection between us and God while also fostering human love for earthly
things. On the other hand, earthly loves consists of eros, storge, and philia. All of these natural loves stand for relationships between people and
material things or familial and romantic relationships. Because natural loves focus on forming relationships with non–spiritual things, they fall

How Cattle Are Being Humanely Slaughtered?
Of all the things that this week's lesson could have begun with the strange description of how cattle are being humanely slaughtered in large
commercial slaughterhouses was a huge surprise. The author of our lesson begins by describing how cattle that have been transported to a
slaughterhouse are unloaded from their transport trailers. The unloading is handled completely different than what I would have envisioned. I would
have thought that the cattle would have been driven out of the trailers with cattle prods and a lot of pushing and yelling. Instead the cattle are unloaded
without any yelling or prodding. The pathway and ramps that the animals are led down from the trailers are constructed with gently descending grades
and all the pathways have smooth surfaces while the curves along the pathway contains no blind spots or turns that the cattle can't see around. The
unloading of the trailers is done in a manner that the cattle encounter nothing while being unloaded that would induce fear, excitement or confusion in
them. The unloading process is done as quietly as possible with the cattle's first encounter after leave the trailers being a squeeze chute that simulates
the feeling for the cattle of a gentle motherly caress; the squeeze chute induces an even greater calming effect upon the animal. The effects produced by
the silence and the serene surroundings lull the cattle into such a calm state that they are completely unaware of the moment when they are lifted off

For example, believing in Him as the Triune God, praying, and essentially love fellow humans. The Divine Servant is a key symbol when talking
about loving others. To follow in jesus' footsteps and to help the homeless, blind, weak, lame, and crippled is truly love. In my personal opinion I
believe many Christians flaunt this statue and talk the talk, but do not walk the walk. Although some may walk the walk, they do it with bad
intentions in their heart. They may be servicing a human who is less fortunate just for publicity or praise. In today's society people are indulged in
social media and cell phones which makes it extremely easy for one to boast about the service he/she did. So, many may fall short in loving
humans, therefore fall short in loving God. In this situation, a saying near and dear to my heart "The unseen is eternal" (I'm sorry for taking a
biblical sentence out of context) comes to mind. I believe this saying is relevant because acts of kindness and love that are unseen by others are
longer lasting than acts performed in front of others with faulty motives. Others on this earth may not be able to tell between good and bad intentions,
but God can. Ultimately, that is who we will all answer to one day. For God knows us better than we know ourselves. This lack of love for fellow

Agape Leadership Summary
In Robert L. Peterson and Alexander Strauch's biography "Agape Leadership", we learn about the life of Robert C. Chapman, a well–respected man
who held a reputation for actively displaying Christlike love and deep–rooted faith. To describe Chapman's lifestyle, we must look no further than the
title of this book: "agape". Christians use the word 'agape' to describe the type of love that Christ showed to the church: an incomprehensible and
completely sacrificial love. Chapman consistently sacrificed himself for the benefit of the gospel, thus, influencing hundreds of people for Christ and
earning the respect and admiration of thousands. Although Jesus Christ is the ultimate picture of agape love, Robert C. Chapman is an incredible
example for us. Chapman steered people to the Lord by living out the true Christian life and displaying Christ's agape–love. This, I believe, was an
excellent, visible enactment of Jeff Riley's definition for Christian education: "Christian Education is the process of guiding those in the Church
(through his Holy Spirit) to know and to live out a worldview that follows that of God the Father by demonstrating the work and the character of the
Lord Jesus Christ, resulting in transformed hearts and minds that are wholly devoted to loving God and loving those he has sovereignly created,
making much of his name." Chapman held the philosophy that solely speaking of Christ wasn't nearly enough. Rather, "[his] great aim [was] to live

Philia
Philia as described above is the love of friendship. This initially is seen as a selfless act, because being a friend and a good friend requires a lot of hard
work and involves the lover to get to know the beloved. Following the Philia framework the lover chooses who they become friends with. Choosing
one person over others to treat well, is self–centered. This is because the lover is choosing who the deem worthy of their friendship (Cowley 20).
They are picking which person they want to get to know. The simple act of rejecting another human because one does not think they will get along, is
selective and selfish. Kierkegaard also explains that Philia, requires mutual interest or desire in one another (Cowley 27). Mutual interest indicated...

Mlk Agape Analysis
The animating force behind MLK's thought and social activity is the idea of Christian Love which is also referred to as agape. Agape is based on
human need and the love of someone else, wanting good for others even if there is no return. MLK explains that the universe is naturally inclined
towards community, when people hate they defy creation. MLK's movement focused on non–violence which often was seen as passiveness and
cowardice. Yet, it instead was intended as an active non–violence which had a goal not of defeat and humiliation, but of creating a friendship and
understanding; for it is not the people with whom there is tension, but instead between justice and injustice, good and evil. Agape, therefore, is not "a

Agape Community Environmental Analysis
"Humans, as individual and in our community, must respect the created world and be conscious of our duties toward future generations" (Turkson 4).
Catholicism teaches us humans that we have a moral responsibility to uphold God's creation through sustainability and social responsibility. For the
purpose of this essay, I will be drawing connections of how Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI view ecology within the inseparable human and
natural environment. I will also discuss how the Agape Community embodies both pope's ecological views. John Paul II was the first pope to raise the
topic about environment in his first encyclical, Redemptor Hominis in 1979. He further capitalized on this theme with his encyclical Centesimus annus
introducing the concept of preserving the human and natural environment. Cardinal Turkson writes, "damage to the natural environment is serious, but
destruction of the human environment is more serious" (Turkson 4). This statement implies that the human environment is worth more than the natural
environment because God has given the earth to humanity. In other words, John Paul II encourages human need to be met with the minimum possible
damage to the natural environment. Although one is placed on a higher pedestal, John Paul II ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In his social encyclical, Caritas in veritate, Benedict XVI draws the conclusion that, "the way humanity treats the environment influences the way it

you". To further drive his point about interconnectedness, Benedict XVI uses an example about rising energy needs that leads to rising energy price.

Relationship Between Tom And Summer
The film (500) Days of Summer is a story about the relationship between Tom Hansen and Summer Finn. Tom and Summer met each other when they
were both working at a greeting card company and their relationship began and ended within two years. Tom is best considered to be a hopeless
romantic, whereas Summer does not believe in the fantasy of love. Summer's aversion to love stems from her parent's divorce, but it is the opposite
for Tom even though his parents were divorced also. With Tom and Summer being two polar opposites from each other, it is easy to see how their
relationship will already have conflict embedded within it. Although their story is not a conventional love story, Tom and Summer's relationship
that they never put a label on can be applied to various concepts of male/female communication. Tom and Summer's relationship can be best
analyzed by using John Lee's types of love, with a focus on eros, ludus, and mania; and their relationship can also be analyzed by using dependence
power theory. Tom's primary love type is best described as eros. Eros love, according to John Lee, is the type of love that correlates with the notion
"love at first sight". Eros love is intense with a strong attraction from the very start. When Tom first sees Summer when she begins working as the new
assistant, he immediately stops to stare at her and in his mind he thinks that from the moment he saw Summer, he knew she was the girl for him. As a

How Does Martin Luther King Have Disinterested Love

  • 1. How Does Martin Luther King Have Disinterested Love According to Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, the novel was a "love story, plain and simple." Throughout the novel, Ms. Lee displayed "love" through the actions of the main characters. However, the definition of love may not be the common, affectionate feelings between two people. Based on the article, "An Experiment in Love," by Martin Luther King, he explained how love, or "agape," could have several different connotations. Harper Lee was able to demonstrate Matin Luther King's concept of love through several different character interactions. First, Martin Luther King described his concepts of love as the Greek word, agape which could be related to the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird, in which the black community donates ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The basic point King brought up claims that agape "springs from the need of the other person– his need for belonging to the best in the human family" (King 19). Here the audience can see that the origin of love (agape) came from the need of another person's will to belong to the best. King is trying to get the audience to make the connection that individuals who practice agape are the best in the human family, and this is proven as he later on says, "The Samaritan who helped the Jew on the Jericho Road was "good" because he responded to the human need that he was presented with" (King 19). This statement by Dr. King was closely related to the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird in which Boo Radley had secretly put a blanket around Scout when she was "busy looking at the fire" (Lee 96). As Harper Lee describes, Scout was busy staring at the fire and not even paying attention to Boo Radley. Even then, Boo showed signs of agape as he decided to cover up Scout in case she was cold in the night without expecting anything in return such as a "thank you." Boo Radley did not need to nurture Scout that night, but because he did, Harper Lee showed another one of King's concepts because of Boo's desire to help others in need and to be a better person overall. Towards the final chapters of the novel, Boo demonstrated agape again as he ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Colossians 3 Colossians 3 is saying that we have to become someone new in Christ. In Colossians verse 1, it said that we should seek heavenly things not the things that are on the Earth. Colossians, 3:1 said ВЁIf then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Another thing that I observed was in verse 10, we have to put on a new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of the creator. In Colossians 3:10, it said ВЁand have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. The third thing that I observed was we have to let God's word dwell in us teaching and guiding us. In verse 16 of Colossians 3, it said ВЁ Let the word of Christ ...

In Colossians 3:22, it said" Bondservants, obey in everything those who are you earthly master, not by way of eye–services, as people–pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord." In Matthew 19:19, it said that we should love our neighbor as ourself. I think this relates to one another because in both of the passages, it said that we should love one another. In Colossians 3:22, it said "Bondservants, obey in everything those who are you earthly master, not by way of eye–services, as people–pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.". The word Bondservant is another word for slaves. In the Greek, the word bondservant in not used but the word slave is. In Ephesians 6:5, it talks about how bondservant to obey your master. Ephesians 6:5 said "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ." It relates because they both talk about how slaves should obey their masters and it also talks about the heart. The last word is heart. The definition for heart is inner life. In Matthew 13:19, it said that the evil one snatches the heart. They relate because they both talk about the heart and how we have to be sincere to God and fear him. If we don't, the "evil one" will snatch our hearts away and we will fall astray from ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Philos, Eros, & Agape Love in Religion Essay Philia, eros, and agape are three different Greek terms for the word. These three terms explain the different types of love a human being can acquire. Philia is a love of friendship, which is grounded in commonality. However, eros is a kind of love that seeks something from the other person or thing. Lastly, agape is the love that wills the good of the other and is completely self–giving. The meanings of these Greek terminologies, philia, eros, and agape, allow us to better understand and discuss our relationship with God and human fulfillment. In order to find human fulfillment, one must find God of Jesus Christ as well. Erotic loving is our desire for this fulfillment, which can be seen through eros. Human nature can be simply defined ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Sartre attested that the human being is a useless passion due to our insatiable desires. Markedly, human beings desire to retain the infinite and that need is simply impossible. For the search for the unlimited is tiresome and unappeasable. Conversely, there is an alternate way of looking at eros. In order to have hope, God has to appear to human life as not a receding horizon but an absolute savior. Human beings long for the truth and due to the constraints of science and history, Jesus is seen in an alternate way because he is no longer limited by space or time. In this case, Karl Rahner and Saint Augustine both agree that God always initiates the relationship with human life. Namely, they asserted that we are constantly drawn to God and God is not drawn to us. Because of this, we have the option of forming a better relationship with God. Rahner said that God dispenses his grace to all human beings of every religion in and God is continually accepting. Chiefly, it is not God's choice to accept or deny us, for that is not his matter
. Anthony De Mello describes another explanation of human fulfillment to us. He explains to us that in order to have human fulfillment, we must detach ourselves from our worldly attachments. As human beings, we allow ourselves to believe that we cannot be happy without a certain thing or person in our life. Thus, that is not ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. What Does Redemptor Hominis Mean In John Paul II's encyclical letter, Redemptor Hominis, the pope states in his first few words that Christ is the redeemer of man, "THE REDEEMER OF MAN, Jesus Christ, is the centre of the universe and of history." (Redemptor Hominis, 1). But what could John Paul II mean by this? We know from the Bible that God sent Jesus Christ to earth to save man from sin. In order to be saved from sin, one must understand the 'truth'. The truth is the way of God. The truth sets mankind free from sin and allows them to live an eternal life through God. "We see Christ as the one who brings man freedom based on truth, frees man from what curtails, diminishes and as it were breaks off this freedom at its root, in man's soul, his heart and his conscience." (Redemptor ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Once man is freed from his sins and ignorance, man can learn the truth about the nature of God, "The Declaration on Religious Freedom shows us convincingly that, when Christ and, after him, his Apostles proclaimed the truth that comes not from men but from God 'my teaching is not mine, but his who sent me',... they preserved, while acting with their full force of spirit, a deep esteem for man, for his intellect, his will, his conscience and his freedom" (Redemptor Hominis, 12). It has been referenced that the truth has the ability to set one free, "Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free"" (Redemptor Hominis, 12). True freedom is the ability to be authentically free. Authentic freedom entails a relationship with God, "Jesus sought to free people from false, material beliefs by imparting to them a truer idea of God and our relationship to Him, offering everyone refuge in Christ." (Bulloch, 1). However, there is also a negative aspect involved with being truly free. One must refrain from superficial freedom. Superficial freedom cannot set one free because freedom can only be achieved through truth, and the truth is something only God can offer. Therefore, freedom is only available through redemption and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Classification Essay: What Are The Different Types Of Love? Love comes in various types and forms. The same love someone might feel for a friend isn't the same as the love a person might feel for a partner or a tv show or a family member. There are various terms for different types of love, Agape, Eros, Storge, Mania, Pragma, Ludus and Philia are the six main types of love that people experience. Agape is allegedly the highest form of love, it's unconditional love that people will love the other person no matter what, it surpasses physical love and enters into spiritual love. Love for God or for one another. Eros is love that is of love and erotic or intimate love, in which it focuses primarily on beauty or physical attraction sexually. Storge, is a slow growing love for family, friends and commitment and similar interests rather than passion. Mania is the love of wanting to be loved and being extremely possessive and obsessively jealous, seeing themselves as special. Pragma relies on logic and background, the love type wants everything in their relationship to work out and everything desired to be filled. Ludus love is love that requires an aspect of entertainment from each other, and as long as the partners are interesting they will stay with them. Finally, Philia, is the love for 'brothers' or being in a team or group, working together and loving who they work with.

  • 6. Agape By Greek Summary Slide 1: Nisan In English, there is only one word for "love." In Greek, there are three. "Eros" is the physical love, "Philia" is brotherly love, or sisterly love shared amongst siblings and close friends. "Agape" is a love that gives and asks nothing in return. All three can be experienced in different varieties, but each carries great burdens. Eros must remember that the other is a living, breathing being, not just an object. Philia must not take unjust, selfish advantage of the other. Agape does all those things above and much more, with no expectation of return. Agape is a love that does not require that the other should meet high standards of beauty, nor of brains, nor of brawn. Agape gives without question, or reason, a God love, you might say, something that Hephaestus wasn't seen as worthy of. Slide 2: Hephaestus: a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The island was hereafter his home, Hephaestus worked with the mortals, something practically novel among other gods, something unheard of, outlandish, something a leader would do. Some legends say, Hephaestus built a palace among the Lemnains, cocooned under a volcano, some say he lived among the villagers as nothing but their equal. He grew up with them, acting as a blacksmith, given his powers were of that regard, until he found out what had caused him to be thrown from Mount Olympus, where the others of his kind reside.

  • 7. Servant Leadership Theory John Barbuto and Daniel Wheeler (2006, 300)–authors of "Scale Development and Construct Clarification of Servant Leadership"–state that Greenleaf (1977) developed 11 dimensions of servant leadership that include: "calling, listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, growth, and community building." Again, it should be noted that although Greenleaf (1977) uses the term "calling," he does not use it in a spiritual sense, but more on a secular level (Barbuto and Wheeler 2006, 300). The results from Barbuto and Wheeler's (2006) investigation found only five dimensions that relate to servant leadership and not all of them the same as those put forth by Greenleaf (1977).

  • 8. Agape Love: A Reoccurring Theme with Elizabeth Barrett... Within Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poems, "How Do I Love Thee (Let Me Count the Ways)", "Love", and "A Man's Requirements", a reoccurring theme of agape, unconditional, love appears. In these three poems, her expression of love is very evident and clear. However, the way she expresses love is quite different than many poets have and continue to do. Instead of showing love by saying she feels it or explaining her passion, she says she is committed and will love the reader through every emotion, experience, and circumstance. "How do I love thee (Let me count the ways)" has line after line of evidence to justify the theme of agape love, but whom the audience is supposed to be is left for each individual reader to decide, because the way she wrote is makes is available to all age groups. The very first line, "How do I love thee, Let me count the ways" draws the reader in and tells exactly what the poem is about. From there on out, the speaker describes how free and true her love is. By giving her love and commitment limits that cannot be reached, the speaker gives a more in depth idea of her feelings to the reader .Every line allows the reader to examine how true the speakers proclaimed love is, however, three parts particularly stand out. The first is, "I love thee to the depth and breadth and height/ My soul can reach" (2–3). This line tells the reader that the speaker's love is everlasting and will never reach an end. "I love thee purely, as they turn from praise" (8) ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. Martin Luther King's Speech On Agape Love Martin Luther King tells us in his work, Agape Love, that"...when you come to love on this level you begin to love men not because they are likable, not because they do things that attract us, but because God loves them and here we love the person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does" (32). Martin Luther King lived during a time of great turmoil in the United States. He lived during a time where a very large group of segregationists main goal was to keep their synthetic sense of superiority over the African Americanrace. Of course, Martin Luther King did not stand for this contorted representation of his people and he decided to do something about it. Martin Luther King grew up in a family of pastors and he too became a pastor. I mention this to give background to King's use of christianity's teachings throughout his various speeches. Being a religious man, King abstained from violence wherever possible, which was one of his main strategies against violent segregationists because he believed that no one, no matter how violent they are, can keep attacking a group of people who refuse to fight back and at some point have to realize that African Americans aren't a threat to them. King's goal in his speeches is to gain equality for every man, woman, and child no matter the color of their skin. He knew that he had to bring every race together in order to achieve true equality, and he could not do so by using violence as a means to an end. Otherwise, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Agape Love Analysis Paul states at the end of chapter 13, "the greatest of these is love". Love is a common word used in modern day society through many types of expressions. It may describe the emotion towards an object of affection, or it may be used as an over dramatization of a liking one takes to a certain type of food per–say. Its used to describe feelings toward a sexual relationship, or feelings towards family member, or friends. In the English language, there is an almost limitless amount of uses for that one little word. Yet, in the time of this letterlove as agape love was not a common terminology for what Paul was expressing. Therefore this paper plans to touch on what exactly it means when a Roman Jewish man, growing up and proclaiming the Gospel to a Hellenistic society in 57 AD claims that "the greatest of these(faith, hope, love) ...is love". Background of the Passage Paul sent the letter to the Roman city of Corinth, a city known for its immorality. Though they had many gods and goddesses, one of the main temples was dedicated to the goddess of love, Aphrodite, which in her temple had hundreds of temple prostitutes (pg. 5, Kistemaker). Along with this temple, there were many other temples and religious centers, even Jewish synagogues, which were dispersed throughout Corinth (pg. 3, Fee). It was a very diverse city filled with Jews, Greeks, slaves, free, prostitutes, ex–soldiers, etc. The church in Corinth was started by Paul on his second missionary trip around 51–52 AD, ...

  • 11. Le Quai Des Brumes Sequence Analysis Le Quai Des Brumes Sequence Analysis– The Power of Love People say that love is something extremely powerful and miraculous; it is a language that the blind can see and the deaf can hear. Director Marcel CarnГ© attempted to show that love has the ability to change a person in many different ways in his movie Le quai des brumes (Marcel CarnГ© , 1938). This attempt is most evidently presented in the sequence of Jean meets the ship doctor, who invites him to sail to Venezuela with him on the port; and the sequence following, in which Jean goes to the carnival with his lover, Nelly. There is an apparent attitude change of Jean when the scene shifts from the one in which He is talking to the ship doctor he meets on the port to the scene of...

By cutting the line rudely and pay for the tickets for his friend and their girlfriends with a handful of money, Lucian obviously wants to impress his girlfriend by showing how manly and respectful he is. Furthermore, when they get on the bumper–cars, Lucian pushes away others to get on the car, runs his car wildly, and deliberately knocks off stranger's hat from behind. Unfortunately, Lucian's attempt of using a rude attitude to exhibit his masculinity turns out to be a complete failure as he knocks off Jean's hat and gets slapped by him. At that moment, Lucian is slammed back to whom he really is, the coward that wouldn't even fight back when he is being slapped. In the same carnival scene, Jean demonstrates how the male character in the movie can be affected by love in a completely different way. With Nelly, Jean is no longer the melancholy guy that will describe life as "a rotten business." He is caring, gentle and energized. Unlike what Lucian did to show his masculinity, Jean shows his masculinity by being a protective gentleman. As they walking in the carnival, Jean walks at the same pace as Nelly, holding her arm or shoulder. Also, he talks in a slower speed and in a more gentle tone, comparing to the way he talks at the port. At the carnival scene, Jean also says sweet things that seem impossible to come out from the "normal," cynical Jean; for ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Eros lacks morality because its selfish, exclusive, and requires little to no self love. Eros is particular on which person receives this love, it denies the beloved any true form of compassion, and there is little to no self–love involved because it is the beloved that is giving to the lover, there is no need for deep thought about what they could give back to the beloved.

It is also consequential; this means that it is concerned solely with the consequences of an action, not the action itself. Joseph Fletcher was the scholar who created the concept of Situation Ethics. Situation Ethics arose at a time when Society was becoming far more liberal and the emancipation of sexuality and women and the civil rights movement all led to a far freer society with regards to morality and following absolute rules. Joseph Fletcher came up with the mantra for Situation Ethics, 'what is the most loving thing I can do in this situation'. He encouraged the use of Agape– unconditional love and the ability to act altruistically. This was written in his book 'Situation Ethics' in 1966. The Bible was a great influence on Fletcher and his use of Agape. For example, in Deuteronomy 6:4–6 'love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength'.

Titania wakes from a sleep to fall in love with Bottom, who has the head of an ass, while Lysander awakes to find himself in love with Helena, who he has shown no interest prior to the application of the love juice (Bevington, 2014, p. 55). This love juice application is the ultimate form of forced love, in which there is manipulation of the mind to induce the love, rather than a change in the heart to create a true love. A true love creates a romantic love in which two people feel the love between them, and this leads into the second form of love depicted by Shakespeare, the love described as Eros love, is the love between Lysander and Hermia. Eros love is a love that cannot be obtained between siblings or friends, but only attainable within a form of erotic and sexual love, as found between two lovers, such as husband and wife (Moseley, n.d.). The love between the two of these characters is a real love that does not require a "love potion" to create the love. Hermia displays this love well with her statement "I would rather my father looked but with my eyes", where she indicates the love she has for Lysander, can only be seen through the lens of her eyes (Bevington, 2014, p. 47). This love comes from the truest sense of the word where they each have a desire for the other, from a love that requires no outside influence or assistance, but is created in the heart of each of the lovers.

To understand the psyche of the Phantom, one must first have a brief overview of the play. In 1984 Andrew Lloyd Webber, transformed the original The Phantom of the Opera novel (written in 1911 by Gaston Leroux) into a dialogic, emotional masterpiece.

Her words do not have any underlying fear or distress. She's asking for his forgiveness, and looking to please her mentor. The Phantom loves her and she sees him as a caring, fatherly figure. After Raoul wins over Christine's heart, the Phantom becomes jealous. He mimics Christine and Raoul's love song to each other: I gave you my music, made your song take wing... And now, how you've repaid me: denied me and betrayed me... He was bound to love you when he heard you sing... You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you... (1.10) Becoming more threatening to Christine, the Phantom makes her fearful of him. After he lashes out at her for removing his mask, saying "You little demon, is this what you wanted to see? [...] now you cannot ever be free" (1.6), Christine runs to Raoul and tells him that they will be "safe on the roof" and that "his eyes will find [her] there" (1.10). The use of the words safe and find, indicate that she no longer wants to be near the Phantom. Christine begs Raoul to help her get away from him; Raoul, it scares me – don't put me through this ordeal by fire... he'll take me, I know... we'll be parted forever, he won't let me go... what I once dreamed I now dread, if he finds me, it won't ever end... and he'll always be there, singing songs in my head...

You get to share an intimate fellowship and companionship with your wife and she is one of the greatest and most blessed gifts that God has given to you. Husbands, die to self and show honor to your wife because she deserves it. Put aside your desires, your preferences, what you want, and get to know what your wife needs, and then do everything you can to meet those needs. That is sacrificial love. For the husband who is loving and caring, God promises that your prayers won't be hindered. If you, as a husband, do not take care of your wife, you are not sacrificial, loving, caring, then God says your prayers will be hindered. Remember what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13? Verse 5, "Love does not seek its own." Husbands, make sacrifices for your wife, put her interests before your own, and demonstrate the kind of sacrificial love that Christ gives to us. I understand this type of love is a great challenge for you husbands. We can't love perfectly as Christ loves us.

He uses his entrapment to make the man feel special, even though the homeless man has no idea he is dying, Phil takes him to the restaurant to eat all he wants. He also takes him to the doctor and keeps him warm through the cold nights, but no matter what Phil does, he can't control death. That's when it finally hits him.

  • 28. In the Redeemer's Hands Summary of Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands Paul D. Tripp authored a work that promotes the world of biblical counseling that is not bound to a professional clinical model but incorporates the daily ministry lifestyle founded on the Scriptures. Tripp emphasizes the gospel of Jesus Christ as the hope for those who have lost hope. The moment when sin entered the world through Adam's fall brought forth guilt, fear, and shame became the standard. In a few pages, Tripp wrote the story of the Fall and the implications of sin towards the human race. The disconnect between God and mankind became prevalent; He sent His only son to save the world and provide a gift that would keep those faithful to Him: hope. Jesus Christ, the Son of God has set the paradigm of which His followers must imitate because He has masterfully counseled those who were suffering and sick. As Christ reflected this model in several ways, Tripp also elaborates on the importance of actively empathizing while being involved in the midst of the person's suffering. Personal ministry is a challenging field of work that will require sacrifice and delving into people's mess just as Jesus loved his church, Paul's ministry and discipleship to the churches of his time, and more that can be found in the Bible. There is also an emphasis on the integrity of the spiritual life of the counselor being kept accountable at all times; the heart issue of man has to be cautioned against and examined deeply because from it all ...

  • 29. Forms Of Love : The Influence Of Divine Love The Influence of Divine Love Throughout most world religions, the topic of love and its various forms have been analyzed in hopes of developing a true appreciation for the sacred. Some writers, specifically C.S. Lewis, devoted much of their work to studying love in a religious sense and how it relates the spiritual and non–spiritual world. Lewis was able to deduct that love was represented in two major forms, earthly and divine. Divine love nurtures all earthly loves and is the means of forming a spiritual relationship with God. Lewis argues that humans dedicate too much love to irrelevant, earthly comforts and yet fail to love what truly matters. C.S. Lewis devoted much of his life's work to exploring the different forms of love that are represented in Christianity. He claimed that there are two major categories of love: earthly and divine. The two can act as separate entities, but divine love often develops most earthly loves. Another term that is synonymous with divine love is agape. Lewis claims that agape love is the sacred gift of pure love that is responsible for developing a deeper connection between us and God while also fostering human love for earthly things. On the other hand, earthly loves consists of eros, storge, and philia. All of these natural loves stand for relationships between people and material things or familial and romantic relationships.

Of all the things that this week's lesson could have begun with the strange description of how cattle are being humanely slaughtered in large commercial slaughterhouses was a huge surprise. The author of our lesson begins by describing how cattle that have been transported to a slaughterhouse are unloaded from their transport trailers. The unloading is handled completely different than what I would have envisioned. I would have thought that the cattle would have been driven out of the trailers with cattle prods and a lot of pushing and yelling. Instead the cattle are unloaded without any yelling or prodding. The pathway and ramps that the animals are led down from the trailers are constructed with gently descending grades and all the pathways have smooth surfaces while the curves along the pathway contains no blind spots or turns that the cattle can't see around. The unloading of the trailers is done in a manner that the cattle encounter nothing while being unloaded that would induce fear, excitement or confusion in them. The unloading process is done as quietly as possible with the cattle's first encounter after leave the trailers being a squeeze chute that simulates the feeling for the cattle of a gentle motherly caress; the squeeze chute induces an even greater calming effect upon the animal.

For example, believing in Him as the Triune God, praying, and essentially love fellow humans. The Divine Servant is a key symbol when talking about loving others. To follow in jesus' footsteps and to help the homeless, blind, weak, lame, and crippled is truly love. In my personal opinion I believe many Christians flaunt this statue and talk the talk, but do not walk the walk. Although some may walk the walk, they do it with bad intentions in their heart. They may be servicing a human who is less fortunate just for publicity or praise. In today's society people are indulged in social media and cell phones which makes it extremely easy for one to boast about the service he/she did. So, many may fall short in loving humans, therefore fall short in loving God. In this situation, a saying near and dear to my heart "The unseen is eternal" (I'm sorry for taking a biblical sentence out of context) comes to mind. I believe this saying is relevant because acts of kindness and love that are unseen by others are longer lasting than acts performed in front of others with faulty motives. Others on this earth may not be able to tell between good and bad intentions, but God can. Ultimately, that is who we will all answer to one day. For God knows us better than we know ourselves.

Chapman, a well–respected man who held a reputation for actively displaying Christlike love and deep–rooted faith. To describe Chapman's lifestyle, we must look no further than the title of this book: "agape". Christians use the word 'agape' to describe the type of love that Christ showed to the church: an incomprehensible and completely sacrificial love. Chapman consistently sacrificed himself for the benefit of the gospel, thus, influencing hundreds of people for Christ and earning the respect and admiration of thousands. Although Jesus Christ is the ultimate picture of agape love, Robert C. Chapman is an incredible example for us. Chapman steered people to the Lord by living out the true Christian life and displaying Christ's agape–love. This, I believe, was an excellent, visible enactment of Jeff Riley's definition for Christian education: "Christian Education is the process of guiding those in the Church (through his Holy Spirit) to know and to live out a worldview that follows that of God the Father by demonstrating the work and the character of the Lord Jesus Christ, resulting in transformed hearts and minds that are wholly devoted to loving God and loving those he has sovereignly created, making much of his name."

John Paul II was the first pope to raise the topic about environment in his first encyclical, Redemptor Hominis in 1979. He further capitalized on this theme with his encyclical Centesimus annus introducing the concept of preserving the human and natural environment. Cardinal Turkson writes, "damage to the natural environment is serious, but destruction of the human environment is more serious" (Turkson 4). This statement implies that the human environment is worth more than the natural environment because God has given the earth to humanity. In other words, John Paul II encourages human need to be met with the minimum possible damage to the natural environment. Although one is placed on a higher pedestal, John Paul II ...

Tom and Summer's relationship can be best analyzed by using John Lee's types of love, with a focus on eros, ludus, and mania; and their relationship can also be analyzed by using dependence power theory. Tom's primary love type is best described as eros. Eros love, according to John Lee, is the type of love that correlates with the notion "love at first sight".
