This paper argues that the doctrine of Fellowship is essential for understanding the theological significance of the events, characters, and audiences primarily found within the book of Exodus. Second, it relates to the implications for the doctrines of salvation, sanctification, and maturation undertaken by the Lord for Israel. An evaluation regarding these doctrines will ensue for eight events that occurred in the life of Israel, from Egyptian bondage to the point of crossing over into the Land of Canaan. Last, this paper will apply the implications of the doctrine of Fellowship to the church. To develop the doctrine of Fellowship, one begins with developing the concept of Fellowship found primarily in the writings of John. The concept of Fellowship contributes to creating a working definition for Fellowship based on contextual word studies. It is best to begin with tracing progressive revelation up to the eight events. Christians should emphasize the doctrine of Fellowship more than the doctrine of salvation in scripture because Fellowship is chronologically before salvation. It is vital for interpreting and applying scripture correctly.2 Its significance is that viewing their problem as a lack of experiential sanctification and Fellowship helps the believer see the force of the warning passages in both Testaments.

It was the first time I ever used the BHQ critical apparatus. My Grandmother died while I was writing it and it was a struggle to complete for a grade. But it helped minister to me concerning some uncertainties.

I will upload the graded version as soon as it is released.

I describe what the Google Plus community is and allude to its interesting nature. The theory of dramaturgical analysis is given explicitly before it is discussed throughout the analysis of the community in the applied portion. This discussion of theory is primarily limited to the terms he defined in " The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life " , but reference is also made to his other works where they have bearing on this analysis. Much is said about Goffman's view of self and how that self is created and presented in various situations that occur from the moment one is introduced into the Google Plus community. The front page of my Google account is the front stage for those who read about me before they end up conversing with me. The interactions within groups is also given as a front stage performance. But the best example given for front stage behavior is the live Hangouts on Google Plus. The backstage is also discussed in relevant places. The contribution that I expect this paper to make is it will whet the appetite of others to want to analyze Google Plus further. More specifically I am calling for a future

But the intent of the hymn is very conspicuous. This paper seeks to capture the thrust of the pericopal purpose for Colossians 1:9-20 and argues that this passage is at the heart of the letter and not just the debate surrounding its structure and contents. Simple actions such as prayer and praise are used didactically to confront syncretistic influences depreciating the Colossian Christians appreciation for Christ as Creator and Sustainer over all of creation as well as their spiritual lives.
