...evangelists emerged and began preaching with fire-and-brimstone on their tongues; declaring the only way to find salvation was through conversion. This spirited revival became what is known as the Great Awakening. The Great Awakening empowered people to begin thinking on their own, making their own decisions, which brought them closer in relationship with God. The Great Awakening is believed to be one of the reasons the colonists lost favor with the British Empire, and gave rise to the beginnings of the American Revolution. The Great Awakening The Great Awakening had its beginnings in the American colony of New Jersey. Frelinghuysen and Gilbert Tennent are recognized as the first to organize the Awakening. Frelinghuysen, a Dutch pastor raised in the Dutch reformed churches, began teaching the necessity of deep transformation in the 1720’s. Tennent followed his father when he continued organizing the “log colleges” where many young evangelists received their start in ministry. The works of these two men caused the spark, which ignited the great rivals of the 18th century. In 1734, the Great Awakening continued to spread into the Massachusetts, where a young preacher named Jonathan Edwards pursued it with a passion. Edwards became a well-known pastor, and through his intense sermons the Holy Spirit caused the...

Old Testament and New Testament “The mission of God lies behind the whole of the Old Testament as well as the New Testament and the particular task which we call missions today” [3]. In the Old Testament, God is a sending or missionary God. In Mark 16:15-16 (NIV), God said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

...business accounting compiles a complete record on different financial activities of the business. He or she analyzes the financial statements, trends, and insights into the business financial decisions and ensures this information is correct. The four financial statements are income statements, retained earnings statement, statement of cash flow, and the balance sheet. The income statement provides information on profit and losses, which gives a summary of the company financial performance, usually for a specific period, a month, quarter, or one year. The summary outlines the company operation and “non” operation financial performance on how the company incurs revenues, expenses, gains, and losses by deducting expenses from revenues (Tennent, 2008). The company income statement is vital because this information determine whether the business is over or under budget for that specific period. When a company during normal operation does not make a profit at the bottom of the income statement will state net loss for that period. When the company is doing well and making a profit, the bottom of the income statement will indicate a net income. The income statement information under revenues is service revenue, the next line starts expenses, salaries expense, supplies expenses, rent expenses, insurance expenses, interest expense depreciation expenses, total expenses, and net income.

Johnson * Young and Isolated by Jennifer M. Silva Sleeping With Guns By BRUCE HOLBERT THE summer before my sophomore year in high school, I moved into my father’s house. My father had remarried and the only unoccupied bedroom in his house was the gun room. Against one wall was a gun case he had built in high school, and beside it were two empty refrigerators stocked with rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. My bed’s headboard resided against the other wall and, above it, a resigned-looking, marble-eyed, five-point mule deer’s head with a fedora on its antler rack. The room had no windows, so the smell of gun oil filled my senses at least eight hours each day. It clung to my clothes like smoke, and like a smoker’s cigarettes, it became my smell. No one in my high school noticed. We all smelled like something: motorheads of motor oil, farm kids of wheat chaff and cow dung, athletes like footballs and grass, dopers like the other kind of grass. It did not appear to anyone — including me — that residing within my family’s weapons cache might affect my life. Together, my three brothers own at least a dozen weapons and have yet to harm anyone with them. Despite their guns (or, arguably, because...

...Understanding Islam Victoria Mullally REL/134 May 30, 2016 J. O’Briant To begin to understand anything, you must first know the history. The same is true of Islam. Understanding Islam takes more than just a history lesson though. It is also important to understand the importance of the Qur’an, the Five Pillars, and Ramadan. Equally important is knowing that, like other religions, Islam consists of different branches with similarities and differences in their traditions. Muhammad was the prophet of Islam, born around 570. He was a young orphan, raised by his uncle and worked as a merchant. He married a wealthy widow, Khadija, and had six children. Her status helped to raise Muhammad’s among Meccan society. It was said he began to have visions and hear voices. (PBS.org, n.d.). “Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth, Createth man from a clot. (96:1-2. The Clot.) We will call the guards of hell. Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah) (96:18-19. The Clot).” Muhammad was commanded to read these words three times by a presence that came to him during a religious retreat at Mount Hira. After much discrepancy, Muhammad decided these voices were not of evil, but from the angel Gabriel. As he continued to get revelations he shared them with family and friends. These were the first Muslims, meaning “people who submit” to God (Allah). (Molloy. 2013. p. 411). As could be guessed a man who claims to be seeing and hearing voices of angels was...

...while according to Bhimani (2008) is a set of action plan that represent in quantitative expression and proposed by the manager for the future period. So it can be concluded that a budget is used in the financial projections and forecast the financial position of a company for their development. Budgeting is an important process of management, mapping the present and he future for a small business. A completely budget can be used to examine the business owner whether the overall plan can be adapted closely. A business owner is allowed to determine how well the firm is operating within the stipulated budget by developing budgets for the present. If the cost used is more that the budgeted, the business owner have to figure out why. (John Tennent, Guide to Financial Management, p179) mentioned that for a business planning on budgeting is a process used by management to create the blueprint for achieving that success. Why a budgeting is needed for a company management the short and long term planning? Budgeting helps to provide a structure for the company, especially giving guidance regarding direction of the company’s further operation and development expenses. Budgeting also aimed to predict cash flows. When a company growing rapidly, such as having seasonal sales or irregular sales patterns, it will be a difficult time for the management to estimate how much cash they likely to have in the near term. In the result, there is possibility for regular cash-related crises to happen...

...discrimination because she was terminated for not strictly following the employer's dress code of not having any facial jewelry except for earrings. "Kimberly M. Cloutier, Plaintiff, Appellant, alleges that her employer, Costco Wholesale Corp. (Costco), failed to offer her a reasonable accommodation after she alerted it to a conflict between the “no facial jewelry” provision of its dress code and her religious practice as a member of the Church of Body Modification. She argues that this failure amounts to religious discrimination in violation of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a), and the corresponding Massachusetts statute, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 151B, § 4(1A). Religious beliefs that she be allowed to wear facial jewelry are found in the tennents of her religious organization" It would be up to The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and then subsequently the US appeals court to make rulings either for or against the appellant. Costco has developed an extensive dress code policy and expected all of its employees to follow this policy strictly to be able to maintain a business atmosphere. After the employee failed to remove her facial jewelry, Costco suspended the employee due to...

This article soon became a popular book relating to how people had been converted and saved. On July 8, 1741 Jonathan Edwards delivered a sermon, “Sinners in the hands of an Angry God” was example of the Great Awakening of hell-fire and brimstone preaching. Revival sermons like Jonathan Edwards caused people in attendance to weep and scream. Jonathan Edwards believed that the Great Awakening was the work of God and had resulted in many genuine conversions. Just as quickly the Great Awakening began it was brought to a halt. By 1749 the Church had returned to its ordinary state, one of the well-known revivalists Gilbert Tennent stated that The Great awakening was dead.

It has over 30 million American adherents and a worldwide following of 430 million. Pentecostalism grew out of the Holiness revival during the second half of the nineteenth century. This revival was an expression of both social and theological discontent among the nation’s lower and middle-class groups. Not...

...Bulmer’s Sunshine Effect Addressing members of the Irish food industry at a national conference in 2006, the message, Maurice Breen, Marketing Director for C&C plc delivered was simple: building a successful brand takes time and money. As producers of Bulmer’s Original Irish Cider, C&C plc was well placed it seemed, to advise other Irish companies on branding. The beverages manufacturer had successfully repositioned the once tired Bulmer’s brand as a traditional handcrafted premium category drink aimed at up-and-coming professionals. In the process Bulmer’s had revitalised the entire cider sector, endowing the golden juice with respectability and aspirant values. With advertising capitalising on good summer weather and long evenings, cider sales had soared as consumers flocked to the prospect of socialising with friends over a refreshing bottle of Bulmer’s Cider poured over ice. That halcyon association had been dubbed the ‘Sunshine Effect’ by the UK’s National Association of Cider Makers, its sparkle catching on in the UK as C&C stormed the largest cider market in the world during the hot summers of 2005 and 2006. While initially successful ultimately the Sunshine Effect proved to be both the making and breaking of the Irish company’s market strategy for the years that followed. After 3 years of sales decline, its new CEO John Dunsmore, recruited in mid-2008 from competitor Scottish & Newcastle , was left wondering what options did the Irish cider brand face in international...
