In conclusion I do not like the new rules of the game and hope the commissioner of the league will ch ...

... The ones that did not last may have been so because the two people who were put together were entirely incompatible. Many stories have been heard but few have been learnt from. Today some young people believe that they need to wait before they make that big commitment. Indeed there must be some just reason for them to conclude this. But as it is with many situations there is another side to this reasoning. And in recent studies many young people believe that if the mood is right that it makes it okay for them to get married. Strangely, this is not any surprise, since some of the reasons for getting married may be a little justifiable, the essence remains the ...

... others do God’s will. We are God’s representatives on this earth and by cultivating it with our talents, we benefit our neighbors. Calvin also accepted the theological doctrine that salvation is by faith alone, and regarded contemplation as mere laziness. Punishment for sin is poverty. Evidence that one did not have God’s grace also manifests itself in poverty. Calvin believed that his way of life would lead to worldly prosperity. A sign from God is prosperity. Goodness came to be associated with wealth, and poverty with evil; not to succeed in one’s calling seemed to be clear indication that God did not approve. I believe this is ext ...
