Church Leadership and Ministry Evaluation Paper - 2278 Words

CHMN 201-B09 Date: June 16, 2013 Church Leadership and Ministry Evaluation Paper For this paper, I had the honor of evaluating Minister Anthony Thornton of Committed to Christ International Ministries, Milwaukee WI. While in his early 40’s, Minister Thornton’s conversion came about when he was incarcerated, due to the consequences of living a life addicted to drugs and alcohol. During a prison ministry visit, he and many other inmates were able to receive the word of God. After a couple of sessions with the pastor of Committed to Christ International Ministries, Minister Thornton received Christ into his life.

I told my friend that he too can share the same saving grace. I told him that if he believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, he can be delivered just like I was. Moreover, I reminded him that we both were cut from the same cloth, and I was no better than he was. This gift of s alvation is just as much his, as it is mine. 3. How specifically does the Holy Spirit help guide you as you lead/serve in your ministry? Also, can you give a specific example of how you were able to clearly recognize that the Holy Spirit was helping/guiding you in dealing with a particular situation and/or decision while in your ministry? What advice would you give me that, if I obeyed, would assure me that I would be able to be guided by the Holy Spirit in my life and/or ministry? Because He is a helper and not a hinderer. He is my comforter when I am unsure of how to carry on. He helps me to pray accurately, and effectively. He gives me utterance in a language that only God recognizes, thus bypassing my doubtful mind and lack of understanding. When I allow Him, He gives me the words I speak, choices I make, who I will marry, and how I make, and spend my money. Many scriptures come to mind that speaks clearly about direction. One in specific, (Romans 8:14) â€Å"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.† It was by the power of the Holy Spirit that I made the conscious decision to surrender my life to Christ.

The American Home Front During World War 1 - 825 Words

(Just as a side note, I had pictures of the posters in the original paper but couldn t transfer them to here. The first link in the bibliography has tons of WW1 propaganda posters you can use.) World War I changed America greatly. It had an obvious effect on the way we handle business on the home front. Propaganda, rationing, and political views all played a part on American citizens in World War I. Propaganda was a huge tool used to sway citizens toward a particular political view. The U.S.A. entered World War One in April 1917, but lost no time in producing many more propaganda posters than any other single nation.

Political views played a great part in shaping America during World War I. Previously, every war was because of a great and direct threat to American existence. In the case of World War I, we went to war to preserve democracy. Germany certainly wouldn t have wiped us off the map. America also tried to maintain neutrality, electing Woodrow Wilson on the slogan He kept us out of war. (fff.org) The American people were easily manipulated into anti-German and pro-war beliefs. More American-like names were given to certain things. Hamburgers became Salisbury steaks because Hamburg was located in Germany. Sauerkraut became liberty cabbage, because sauerkraut was a German name. Beethoven s music was banned, and burning of German books was common. These techniques were highly successful. The government found that overt and subtle forms of propaganda fanned the requisite passions of pride and prejudice to fight a total war in Europe. Indeed, aggressive propaganda helped to skirt constitutional and statutory limitations on war policies Ââ€" policies that would never pass rational scrutiny in peacetime.

Sigmund Freud s The Interpretation Of Dream - 2543 Words

This excerpt from Sigmund Freud’s 1913 book, The Interpretation of Dream, Third Edition, is one of his most famous generalizations of his work. Freud often emphasized that the study of the human mind is a complicated, arduous, and ever-changing field of attempts at empirically examining an intangible concept that often result in very small gains. His work has placed him into a distinct place in history that has been given countless courses of retrospection by academics alike. Sigmund Freud, born May 6th, 1856 and died September 23rd, 1939, was an Austrian neurologist that is renowned as the father of psychoanalysis. His work on psychosexuality, unconscious processes, drives, and innovative psychotherapy methods have had a pronounced impact on the field of psychology, as well as philosophy, literature, and many others (Emmett, 2001). An early life filled with hardships, trials, and meaningful encounters would shape his perspective into what would be ubiquitously referred to as innovative and even radical at the time. He attended the University of Vienna and had a successful run in neuroanatomy with a wide variety of topic involved in his research (Carter, 2011). Freud’s legacy, however, would be placed into his new, innovative clinical methodology that was intended to treat psychological disorders through naught but conversations between a clinician and his/her patient. The methodology was dubbed â€Å"psychoanalysis,† and would shape almost every aspect of the neurologist’sShow MoreRelatedSigmund Freud s The Interpretation Of Dreams Essay1383 Words   |  6 Pagespsychoanalysis’, Sigmund Freud, is perhaps known for his theories involving the human brain.

Accounting Information Systems Manufacturing Organisation

Question: Describe about the Accounting Information Systems for Manufacturing Organisation. Answer: 1.Role of Accounting Information System (AIS) in the value chain of a manufacturing organisation: AIS mainly include procedures, people, software, data and information technology. It assembles information about transactions as well as activities and then processes he collected information into data that are useful in decision-making procedures (Adenike Michael, 2016). The crucial target of any organization is to offer value to its consumers. An organization will earn profit only when its created value is more than the cost of production of its services or products. In manufacturing organization, AIS creates value by supplying timely and accurate data so that major activities for value chain is carried out more efficiently and effectively. This is achieved by Improving the quality with minimisation of costs of services and products Improvement of efficiency Improvement in decision-making competency Increasing the process of knowledgesharing within the organization Improving the system of internal control (Liu et al., 2013). Well-planned AIS has the ability of increasing the profit of any business by improving the effectiveness and efficiency in their supply chain. For a manufacturing organization, their main activities are placing purchase order to supplier, receiving the goods from vendors, making payment to them, manufacturing the final good using the received goods from vendor, taking orders from customers, shipping of the final goods, receipt of payments from customers and maintaining general ledger for all the transactions. All these activities can be carried out smoothly with the help of well-designed AIS. Moreover, the functional decisions taken by the managerial personnel regarding achieving the target performance through ideal production, marketing and supply are managed by AIS only (Hall, 2012). 2. Assistance of AIS with decision making of contemporary manufacturing organisation: The superiority of decisions, obtained by managerial personnel, largely depends on the accuracy and substance of data provided by available system. AIS is one of the most efficient tool for making decisions by management, as it offers an orderly system of organising and gathering data about several business transactions, so that it can be utilized as a support to management in business operation. AIS also help managers to have clear idea about their tasks and therefore decrease uncertainty in making decisions. AIS is important to each organization both non-profit oriented as well as profit oriented as no business is free from making decisions in their business operations (Collier, 2015). In todays competitive business world, AIS has proved to be a information system, which does not stop working at unavailability of sufficient information and financial data, but it also comprises of information and quantitative and descriptive data that is helpful in making decisions for users with diversity. Such users are comprised of lenders, customers, potential investors, governments, creditors, suppliers and public. Responsibilities of administration are to prepare and display the programs of accounting, the information of which must be capable of attaining the target. Therefore, the functions of AIS in making effective decisions cannot be over looked (Ward Peppard, 2016). In a manufacturing organization, managers are engaged with various types of activities that involves reliable and quality information. They also require non-financial data like quality of production, statistics and many more. Therefore, quality of data produced from AIS is very essential for management. Efficiency of AIS also depends on the need of the person who makes decision, as data produced by the system must satisfy the requirement for managerial reports, operation process, control and budgeting within the business. Usefulness of data is described as the level to which they are helpful in making decisions. Five ways o evaluate the usefulness of data are demand of the subject for the particular item, level to which it affects the forecast of the subject, the degree to which the item influence the decision of the subject and to what extent the item directs to better decisions (Pettigrew, 2014). 3. Using value chain analysis to create competitive advantage for manufacturing organization: Value chain analysis can be used to improve the performances of the business and its major function is to develop and generate competitive advantages. All business organizations including the manufacturing ones, makes decisions to make profit and compete in the market. Analysis of value chain can be exercised to formulate strategies to compete, understand the basis of competitive advantages and recognise and create the inter relationships and linkages between movements that generates value. An organizations hunt for competitive advantages starts with strategic decisions it make with respect to their position in the industry. They should understand the procedure to turn their competitive strategies to competitive advantages (Soosay, Fearne Dent, 2012). The growth of a manufacturing organizations competitive advantage means they must hold some simulation of their strategies that can create barriers for their competitors. A value chain is a way of giving shape to their activities that are required to offer service or product to consumer. It represents the manner a product achieves value as it move through the process of production, design, delivery, marketing and service to consumers (Barney, 2012). References: Adenike, A.
