Faith

I watched a sermon on YouTube. A Korean minister preached a fiery sermon about faith. The guy in the video talks about faith for receiving. He asked a lady “Do you have faith for money?” and she said yes. And then, he said there is no money around us. Nobody see money. Faith says, or tells us that you have it before it appears. Faith says I have it because the Word of God says, or tells us it’s mine. The minister was able to get attention by asking a question to the lady. Also, he could make audience want to listen. He said “In my spirit, through the eyes of faith, I could see money was mine and it is same with any promise in the Word of God.

If we put faith in the Word of God, God is going to make it happen. Faith is receiving the promises from God. God wants us to trust him to the point of actually receiving things from His word before we see them. I found a Bible verse that saying ‘Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours’ Mark 11:24. I will have faith that I have received it.

He read Hebrew 11:1 “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” He said faith is our evidence. He used a bible verse. The bible is Word of God which is appealing to credibility about what he saying. He said faith is nothing more that believing God. Bible is word of God and bible is the truth that sets you free and keeps you free. I think he is using logos to prove his speech.

He used an example to prove his speech. He said there is receipt. The receipt is the evidence that I paid for these items. Faith is like a receipt. Jesus christ paid for many many things for all of us. When Jesus died for us and shed His blood, that was the payment. That is why we can operate by faith because Jesus paid for our joy, peace, our healing, our freedom, and our salvation. You can’t see Him and touch Him, but you know there is Jesus. I don’t think this example is reasonable. I don’t think people are able to agree with this example. I can see his purpose of this example, but I think I does not make logical sense.

There is a couple main points of this sermon. The first one is faith and believing are continuous. Second one is faith is receiving the promises of God. He used a bible verse to give credit to the audience. Also he used logos to persuade the audience. He used an example to convince the audience, but I don’t think it seems persuasive. If I was the minister, I would use more reasonable examples.

  1. You understand what the minister wants to tell audiences, and I believe you could use more reasonable examples.

  2. Faith is not a easy thing to talk about. It is actually hard to tell people how it works.But according to what you said, the preacher did a great job to talk about faith with people. I hope I can watch it too.

  5. You did a great job of relaying what the preacher was trying to say. He made several points but you did a good job of displaying what the preacher was trying to say about faith.

Marilyn Monroe's Shampoo

While browsing on Google I found an old advertisement.  The ad was for Lustre-Crème Shampoo. It featured Marilyn Monroe, known for her beauteous looks and her parts in different movies. One of her movies was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Lustre-Crème was attempting to sell their shampoo through the use of fallacies. By saying that Marilyn Monroe that tells you nothing about the actual product: it simply attracts you to the pretty face in the picture. Using this as an argument of why someone should buy your product is quite illogical. Just because Marilyn Monroe uses it doesn’t provide assurance of its abilities. They attempt using snob appeal by trying to make the audience believe that they could be like Marilyn Monroe if they use the same product as her. They use appeal to illegitimate authority by using Marilyn Monroe to promote their product. Although she herself is a customer, this is still rather irrelevant. She herself has no type of expertise in hair products and knows nothing that

Open Happiness

While at the movie theaters to see The Maze Runner , I saw a commercial that featured rhetoric. The commercial begins with a young woman named Jess purchasing two Coca Cola drinks in a convenience store. One has her own name on it, and one has the name of her friend Alisha on it. The cashier watches her forlornly as she leaves, hinting that he has a crush on his customer. Jess gives the Coke with Alisha’s name on it to her friend, and together the two friends drink them. Later, Jess, Alisha and two other friends come back into the store to buy more Coke, then leave and have a good time together. Jess keeps coming back to the store with more and more friends, each time purchasing Coca Cola with their names printed on the labels. The cashier smiles and watches, but it is clear that he wishes he was with Jess.  Finally, as the cashier is closing the store for the night, Jess shows up at the door with a Coke that has the name Chris on it. She smiles and hands the drink to the cash

Is Hip Hop a Cancer or a Cure?

The speech I watched was a Ted Talk presented by one of my favorite music artists, who just so happens to be a Christian rapper.  This rapper’s name is Lecrae Moore, but he just goes by Lecrae.  Over the past five years or so, Lecrae has been able to break out of the small box that Christian music and Christian rap have been put in, and he has been able to get his music out to all types of crowds.  So I was actually pretty excited when I saw that he had spoken at a Ted Talk in Nashville.  The speech he delivered was titled, “Heroes and Villains: Is Hip-Hop a Cancer or a Cure?”  In this speech Lecrae talked about how it is easy to look at certain people in history and label them as heroes or villains, but he talks about how not everyone views historical figures the same.  Lecrae started off by defining where we get the words, “Hero” and “Villain”.  Knowing the origin of these words really gave good context for what came to follow.  He then went on to explain the history of hip-hop.  W
