Evangelicalism is a Protestant Christian movement which began in the 17th century and became an organized movement with the emergence around 1730 of the Methodists in England and the Pietists among Lutherans in Germany and Scandinavia. The movement became even more important—drawing far more members than in Europe—in the United States during the series of Great Awakenings of the 18th and 19th century. It continues to draw adherents globally in the 21st century, especially in the poor nations of the Third World.
It is a religious movement that de-emphasizes ritual and emphasizes the pietism of the individual, requiring him or her to meet certain active commitments, including:
David Bebbington has termed these four distinctive aspects conversionism, biblicism, crucicentrism, and activism noting, "Together they form a quadrilateral of priorities that is the basis of Evangelicalism."
The term evangelical has its etymological roots in the Greek word for "gospel" or "good news": ευαγγελιον (evangelion), from eu- "good" and angelion "message". In that sense, to be an evangelical would mean to be a believer of the Gospel, that is the message of Jesus Christ.
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American business magnate, television personality and author. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's extravagant lifestyle, outspoken manner and role on the NBC reality show The Apprentice have made him a well-known celebrity who was No. 17 on the 2011 Forbes Celebrity 100 list. He is well-known as a real-estate developer who amassed vast hotel, casino, and other real-estate properties, in the New York City area and around the world.
Trump is the son of Fred Trump, a wealthy New York City real-estate developer. He worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1968 officially joined the company. He was given control of the company in 1971 and renamed it The Trump Organization.
In 2010, Trump expressed an interest in becoming a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election. In May 2011, he announced he would not be a candidate, but a few weeks later he said he had not completely ruled out the possibility. In December 2011, Trump was suggested as a possible Vice Presidential selection by Michele Bachmann. Bachmann has since suspended her presidential campaign.
My vision of the surrounding terrain is very very
sketchy
I broke my glasses head butting Francis Dec
Be careful where you're walking
Cause someone or somethings
Faint cologne is queer
And be mindful of the motherfucking bats and rabid
rabbits
You'd be crazy to feed the shitting ghost
And nobody even knows what's in that funky demented-
looking shed
B-E-L-L-A-W-O-O-D
Spells Bellawood
And I would leave if I could
But i've been cut by the brambles
And i want you to see...
The infection is spreading inside of me
Strange things keep happening
There's a monster inside of me
It's been growing, look closer you can see
If I get to heave, my dear mother would cry
Ain't no boys with monsters in their insides
Accelerating faster through the sticks it nearly killed
me
But my new skin's made of sticks 'n' stones 'n' bones
So come on in, throw a punch
Ah the mind's a terrible thing to chuck in the waste
basket
They say it and I believe it
The soul is disposalbe though so show me
To the janitor and the janitor's closet
B-E-L-L-A-W-O-O-D
Spells Bellawood
And I want you to see
The infection is spreading inside of me
Strange things keep happening
Strange things keep happening, all around my head
Strange things keep happening
