Conserve, Reuse, Recycle

        Waldemar Semrau's main sentence describing his point is"Of the three, I prefer to focus on reuse."

        Semrau is basically explaing how even after retirement and even death he wants himself and his body to continue to work. Even after his jobs at GM and Dow Chemical Company he's still had the desire to work. He has always thought "green" and do as much for the community as he could. So he decided when he dies he's going to donate his body to Harvard Medical School. He figured that everything can be reused for a purpose, and his purpose was science. His dream was also to go to Harvard, so in a way its his personal gain. Semrau had always had his mind set on giving his body to science and when he opened a fortune cookie that read "You will be involved in many humaanitarian projects", he knew it was the right thing for him to do.

        The purpose of this story is that we should give back to the earth, what it and God has given to us. Anything can be productive and useful when it is used over again and again.

"Saviors of the Nation, Come"

In Luther's hymn ,"Saviors of the Nations, Come" he uses tools such as diction to convey the aspect of Christs sacrifice for mankind and the salvation of the world. When Luther says "Not by human flesh and blood, by the spirit of our God, was the word of God made flesh." he describes to us, how that without God we ourselves are useless, and could never reach eternal salvation. He then goes on and tells us that by the spirit and power of God we are made holy. In this passage "Wondrous birth! O wondrous child
of the virgin undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, still to be in heaven enthroned." Luther uses words such as wondrous, undefiled, and disowned, to explain the traits of God's son, the Virgin Mary, and the sinful cruel world. Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross by us and for us. He was sent to save us, but we turned on Him. Though we did this God has forgivven us and given us a spot with Him in heave.

God's Wrath vs. God's Forgiveness

24 times Christ is mentioned: He is, He took, He was slain, lives, sees, rose, etc.

Edwards sermon was based on negativity. He explained the wrath of God and our condemnation. He used fear to show us how we are sinners, and that we deserve hell and God's punishment. He then briefly explains how God doesn't condemn us and instead show us mercy. Borghardt's sermon does the opposite. He explains how God shows grace and mercy on us. How God sent His one and only son for us so that we could join with Him in paradise. Borghardt's sermon is very positive. He tells us God is pure and is good.
