To Be Transformed

I will be doing a capstone that is basically a biblical parable to my personal testimony. First I will talk about Abram’s conversion to Abraham. Just as Abram was called, I was called. Just as God promised Abraham, He also promised me. Abram and Hagar tried to do it their way, just I have tried to take my own path my way. Just as Abraham was tested, I have been tested time and time again. Second I will tie it into Saul being converted to Paul. Just as Saul was blind, I was very blind in my way of thinking. Just as Ananias was sent to open Saul’s eyes, God sent His Son to open my eyes. Paul was doubted by many when he began to preach because of who he used to be. I have had many doubt me in this new walk because of my old ways were so corrupt. Paul joins the disciples, just as I have joined brothers and sisters in Christ in making disciples who make disciples. I used to go by the name Tray Dogg, which means tough guy or fighter, but I have been converted in The Book of Tray or just Tray for short. The Book of Tray because everything I do now is being written in the Book of Life.

Form 990 of the Eugene Mission

The Form 990 for the Eugene Mission provides a summary of their mission and shares the overall of their program service accomplishments. The overview of the Statement of Revenue, Statement of Functional Expenses, Balance Sheet, & Reconciliation of Net Assets allows users of the information to make decisions regarding the funding and overall health of the organization. It identifies their tax status. It shares the following: How much income did they receive and from what source? What is the breakdown of total expenses between program, management, and fundraising? What kind of program are they running and how much is spent on that? Who are the board members and how much is the top staff paid? As a result of the information given, you will know two things. One, if you are thinking of contributing to this non-profit, you will know what they do, how strong they are financially, and how much of the money they receive goes towards their mission. Two, you will see from a board members perspective if this information would be embarrassing or not upon inspection by the public.

The History and Meaning of the Greek word for “grapevine”

This poster presentation explores the meaning of the Greek word for “grapevine” (ampelos) as it occurs in John 15:15 and other passages of the Bible. In determining the meaning of this word in this passage, we will explore its use and understanding throughout scripture in the light of historical and theological backgrounds. We are conducting research to find the meaning of the word “grapevine” in John 15:1-5 and Isaiah 5:1-7 and how the two relate. Isaiah and Jeremiah mention how Israel was the vine of God’s planting but it failed to bear good fruit; but in John 15:1-5, the new generation of God’s people are the branches growing from the “vine” (Jesus) and bearing good fruit. The representation of how the word “grapevine” changes throughout history by looking at the Gospels, New Testament writings and the Septuagint. The endings and use change over time as the texts were all written at different times in history. And finally the secular meaning of the word in Greek culture, poetry and writings throughout history. We will be looking into the meaning of the word in other metaphors that are not biblical and the relationship between the bible and secular (Pagan) Greco-Roman culture.
