The story of Gideon can be, at first, marked by fear and doubts. Apparently, Gideon was found hiding in the winepress, trying the thresh wheat. Gideon was a weak and fearful person. He was afraid of the Midianites who kept plundering their crops during harvest. Nevertheless, God chose him to be His instrument in delivering the Israelites from these enemies. Indeed, God delights in choosing unlikely candidates for His work. Being a woman, I am faced with a social thinking of the inferiority and weakness of women.

Even in the ministry, I tend to wonder if I am really called to it. ...

Plant and animal domestication has been one of the most significant developments to occur in the past thirteen thousand years, in human history. This development is of interest to all of us because it provides most of the food we consume today. It was required in the rise of civilization and was responsible for the transformation of global demography. Domestication, however, had its own consequences such as the development of epidemic infectious diseases. The main human killers since the development of agriculture have mostly been acute, epidemic, and highly infectious diseases that are confined to human beings and ...

Derived from a Greek adjective mystikos, the term mysticism refers to the hidden Christian meaning of the Old Testament, the presence of Christ as well as the experience of GOD Himself through His presence in the scriptures . From this meaning, one gets the notion that there is a reality obscured by exterior manifestation, but accessible to all Christians. On the other hand, Mysticism refers to distinctive practices or traditions meant for human transformation. In modern times, the concept has been broadly associated with religious traditions and practices. This paper seeks to discuss two contrasting spiritualists St. Clare and Von Bingen, who ...

I am Mr. Rodgers Mott. My parents are Mr. William Mott and Mrs. Lucretia Mott. I am here to support motion 2 because since the beginning of Christianity as religion women have played important roles in the church and even in the bible, which is used to guide Christians. Women in the bible such as Mary played the role of being the first to visit the tomb of Jesus and to remind the disciples that Jesus had risen from death. Women should, therefore, be allowed to take part in church activities. Taking part in church activities entails even ...

My grandparents are just like my parents; they have been taking care of my sister and me since we were born, but we do not live with them. ...

How Are the Major Rivers in Africa Vital to Its Economy? In terms of total annual runoff (4600 km3) Africa takes third place after Eurasia and South America, and by the thickness of the layer (less than 160 mm) it is inferior to all continents except Australia and Antarctica. The main watershed of the African continent passes through its most elevated eastern edge, so more than 1/3 of the runoff is in the Atlantic Ocean, only about 1/4 in the Indian Ocean, even less - in the Mediterranean Sea. About 1/3 of Africa (about 9 million km2) has ...

Lung cancer is a deadly disease that jeopardizes health of people globally. Diagnosis of this disease has made it difficult to be prevented or treated since no single test has been found to diagnose lung cancer accurately.

The section of this paper will therefore discuss laboratory measures and diagnosis of lung cancer, useful tumors of cancer diagnosis ...

Master of Ikerre held great importance at the time they were used as they were placed on the entrances to important places or shrines. When I first saw the pictures, I could not help but notice the design made on it. It depicted animal and human forms in which men were holding bows and arrows and the women were either carrying the musical instruments or the clay pots. It determined the culture of that era and helped me a lot in understanding the activities and their way of earning during that era. In my opinion, it was an interesting ...

Individuals are the constructs of social environment and we always will see ourselves through our relationships with this social background and other people. Motivation is the response of our inner self that we give to external influences and forces on a daily basis. To build individual motivational theory it is important to understand what we use and need this motivation for. I strongly believe that every day we are playing our roles and being actors in a given social structure and this relationship is static, based on time and space, as suggested by the structural theory by Giddens (Tucker, 1998). With ...

Deciding not to vote is a tough decision to make given that in the modern world, voting is the sole way of realizing democracy. It is through voting that society gets leaders who represent the society’s interests to the executive. Society further gives the voted in representational power to make decisions on their behalf (read society). Challenges arise when the elected representatives leave the people who elected them to live in the city. In no time, would have been detached from the electorate to the extent that they barely know the needs of the people they purport to represent.

There are many theories on how people learn. The social learning theory, constructivism, behavioral, cognitive information processing, and many others all suggest ideas about how people process information and learn. While they all make strong cases and have valid points about how individuals learn information and retain it, my views on the subject do not align with one specific theory. There are too many people who learn in too many ways for just one to be correct. For this reason, my informal learning theory combines pieces of different theories in order to create the most effective teaching method.

The social ...
