Don’t copy verbatim.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was significant because it was one of the first large-scale protests against segregation in the US. Rosa Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955, for not giving her seat to a white man, even though she was in the black section of the bus. Rosa Parks was charged for violating a city law requiring racial segregation on public buses, even when the white section was filled. Rosa was a member of the local NAACP, so she and her lawyer began a challenge to the law, while a group of black women began circulating fliers calling for a peaceful boycott of the Montgomery Bus System. Martin Luther King Jr., a 26- year old pastor, was elected as part of the new organization to lead the boycott until the city met their demands. The boycott would include over 40,000 African Americans and would last until December 20, 1956 when the Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated seating on buses violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. The success of this event was also important as it introduced MLK as a national figure, who would go on to form the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

The Children’s Crusade, beginning on May 2, 1963, was a culmination and climax of events that were part of the Birmingham Campaign that sought to bring national attention to civil rights and what was at that time, the most racist city in America. Christian minister and SCLC leader James Bevel proposed organizing a children’s march, or "Children's Crusade,” since they would be less likely to lose jobs or be attacked. The hope was to keep the event completely non-violent. On 2 May, over a thousand African American students skipped classes to march on downtown Birmingham. Unfortunately, hundreds were also arrested on this day, leading to hundreds more gathering the following day for another march. On this 3rd day of May, Bull Connor would order the local police and fire departments to use force to halt the demonstration, creating some of the most iconic Images of the civil rights movement, as children were sprayed with high-pressure fire hoses, beat by police officers, and attacked by police dogs. Despite the violence, the Children’s Crusade was very successful; it created some of the most iconic images of the civil rights movement, turning Americans against segregation. On May 10, local officials reached an agreement with the SCLC, promising to desegregate downtown stores and release all protestors from jail if the SCLC would end the boycotts and demonstrations.

Formation of Black Panthers. Dissatisfied with the slow pace of social justice for blacks and fed up with Martin Luther King’s non-violent attempts at unity, Bobby Seale and Huey Newton from Oakland formed the Black Panthers. The Party’s early activities included policing the police in black neighborhoods to hold the police responsible for any brutality. They encouraged owning weapons and using violence if necessary to protect their neighborhoods. In 1967 founder Huey Newton was convicted of killing Oakland police officer John Frey. While Newton would later have his conviction overturned, the incidents of confrontation with the police would only grow. The Panthers did institute a number of social programs, as well as engaging in political activities, which helped the Party grow to over 2000 members across the country by 1968. With high-profile arrests, shootouts with police, and internal conflicts, the Black Panther’s popularity would eventually begin to dwindle. While they did achieve some success at the local levels in their communities with their social programs, as well as instilling a sense of pride and heritage, they never really accomplished their major goal of achieving political positions within government to influence the change they wanted.

I would say that MLK’s belief in non-violent, direct-action, protests and marches was the most effective way to go. When you introduce violence into the equation, As some of the Black Panthers did, you are most likely going to alienate the very people you want to convince. MLK turned the other cheek, even when others were smacking him on it. It made him look like a bigger and stronger man than those who were attacking him. Its part of the reason that other Americans found it easier to support civil rights, as they watched the violence from the other side, which began to disgust most Americans.

Write two paragraphs comparing and contrasting the church of Laodicea to the church of Philadelphia. need answer now
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Each of the 2 sets has 1 church in the middle that stands out from the other 2 on each side. In both sets, we find 2 churches that are fully overcoming evil and are sandwiched between 2 other churches that are missing the mark. In the Revelation 2 – Set 1, the fully overcoming Smyrna church sits between the Ephesus and Pergamum churches. In the Revelation 3 – Set 2, the fully overcoming Philadelphia church sits between Sardis and Laodicea. And finally, sandwiched between the two sets of 3 churches is yet another church that is drastically missing the mark; the 7th church of Thyatira. This 7th church, sandwiched between sets 1 and 2, hosts an abundance of interesting revelations however, this article focuses mainly on the 2nd set of 3 churches found in Revelation 3—especially the Church of Sardis. [Note: this might be a good time to scroll to the end and read Revelation 3 included in this article.]

In an effort to avoid the crucified-with-Christ, death-to-self path of God-assigned deeds that mark and define the true gospel of Jesus Christ, the Sardis church creates their own list of do-good deeds. Still using scripture-based principles, the focus is changed from developing an intimate relationship with the Person of Jesus to joining feel-good programs that elevate and stimulate the human soul but deny the wonderful work of the cross upon the human’s born-again spirit. The attraction to this soul-stimulating “life-like” looking church means that a person can be entertained by the program, agree to a portion of do-gooding from the substitute Sardis church list of deeds, and still be considered a successful Christian by the church without ever really getting to intimately know the Person of Jesus, who all the programs are supposedly drawing from! This program-based Sardis church becomes renown and draws quite a crowd.

It seems that the Sardis church did not like the price that their God-given deeds would cost them and developed their own “work-around” way of doing self-made “good deeds” for God through their church programs. Rather than joining the Person of Jesus Christ, who daily calls us to pick up our cross and follow Him, the Sardis church targets the pleasure-center of the soul with entertaining programs that make a person feel alive in their souls but do little to transform and mature them. It is not the stimulation of a self-centered soul that changes us to be more like Christ, it is the death of that soul-life and the resurrection of the Christ-life within that changes us into Christ’s new-man image. The death to soul-life means we deny stimulations and the elevation of our old-man nature, not indulge them. Programs that stimulate the soul but do not lead the person into a deeper walk with Jesus Christ will not grow that person up.

Minus a few folks in the Sardis church, who keep God’s original instructions, Revelation 3:2 tells us that the bulk of the Sardis church is completely missing the mark and with little left to draw from, the Sardis church is close to being declared uselessly dead. Even under their own Sardis church roof, sits a sign of their departure from their God-given deeds. Those few folks who did not soil their garments and are holding fast to their original instructions from Christ serve as a direct confrontation to rest of the Sardis church that it is quite possible to fully follow God’s list of deeds without substitution.

Substituting programs for the Person, doesn’t work because God knows and remembers the deeds He has assigned us to complete while we are here on earth. He also knows when we are making up our own substitute list of deeds, thinking that He will still approve of our substitutes. God is not obligated to take responsibility for anything He does not Author. Not only are the Sardis church programs declared “dead,” the people in this system are in grave danger of completely missing Jesus when He comes and even worse, not even realize that they missed Him! Why? Because they did not do the work of God’s deeds that are specifically designed to lead them into an intimate knowing of Jesus.
