Love Metal is the fourth studio album by Finnish band, HIM, released on April 14, 2003. A two disc remastered edition was released on December 15, 2014 via The End Records.
Overview
The digipak edition of the album includes the bonus track "Love's Requiem", originally intended for release on the standard version of the album, but it made the album's duration longer than one hour, so Valo decided to put it on the Digipak version of the album. On 1 February 2005 the regular edition of this album was released in the United States under Universal Records licensed by Jimmy Franks Recording Company. In 2005, the album peaked at number one on the Top Heatseekers chart and 117 on the Billboard 200.
Sounds and Themes
The album has been described as “…return[ing] to their metallic roots[…] the band's heaviest offering since its full-length debut[…]amidst the turbocharged reinvigoration, the group retains a flair for disarmingly beautiful sounds, with flowing piano work and a mandolin accompaniment. [Their] formula could have been stagnant, but through passionate performances and a desire to push their own boundaries, HIM keep making beguiling, goth-flavored heavy rock”
The Sacrament is a 2013 American found footage horror thriller film directed by Ti West.A. J. Bowen and Joe Swanberg play journalists who document their co-worker's (Kentucker Audley) attempt to locate his sister (Amy Seimetz) after she joins a reclusive religious commune. The film's plot borrows heavily from the real life events of the Jonestown Massacre of 1978.
Plot
Patrick, a fashion photographer, receives a letter from his sister, a recovering addict named Caroline, that invites him to visit Eden Parish, a utopian, drug-free community founded by a religious leader. When Patrick investigates, he discovers that they have moved to a new undisclosed location only accessible by helicopter. Intrigued by the mystery, Patrick's co-workers, reporter Sam and cameraman Jake, suggest a feature documentary on the topic. The trip goes well, but the helicopter pilot warns them that he will leave with or without them the next day; they promise to be prompt. Issues first arise when they meet the guides at the airfield. Expecting only Patrick, they are taken aback by a film crew; they contact Father, the leader, who authorizes their entrance.
The usual form of baptism among the earliest Christians was for the candidate to be immersed, either totally (submerged completely under the water) or partially (standing or kneeling in water while water was poured on him or her). While John the Baptist's use of a deep river for his baptism suggests immersion, pictorial and archaeological evidence of Christian baptism from the 3rd century onward indicates that a normal form was to have the candidate stand in water while water was poured over the upper body. Other common forms of baptism now in use include pouring water three times on the forehead, a method called affusion.
The Lion Story Bible, a series of Bible stories for children.
bible, any book or written work that is considered authoritative in its field, e.g., the 1978 programming book The C Programming Language is often referred to as "the bible of C programming"
Bible (screenwriting), a reference document for screenwriters to ensure consistency within an ongoing television production
Sacred means revered due to sanctity, is in general the state of being holy (perceived by religious individuals as associated with divinity) or sacred (considered worthy of spiritual respect or devotion; or inspiring awe or reverence among believers).
From an anthropological or atheistic perspective, the religious view of the sacred is an emic perspective on a culture's collection of thoughts and practices that function as a basis for the community's social structure.
Objects are often considered holy or sacred if used for spiritual purposes, such as the worship or service of gods. The property is often ascribed to people ("a holy man", a "holy prophet" who is venerated by his followers), objects (a "sacred artifact" that is venerated and blessed), times ("holy days"), or places ("holy places", "sacred ground").
Etymology
The word "sacred" descends from the Latinsacrum, which referred to the gods or anything in their power, and to sacerdos and sanctum, set apart. It was generally conceived spatially, as referring to the area around a temple.
Holy is U.D.O.'s seventh album. It was recorded and mixed by Stefan Kaufmann at ROXX Studio in Pulheim and is the band's first album with the guitarist Igor Gianola, who had played with Ronni Le Tekrø in Wild Willy's Gang. The band recruited the drummer Lorenzo Milani after the release of the album; in the liner notes "guess who" replaces the name of the drummer.

Baptism Bible Study #1: What Is It?
Baptism is a wonderful gift from God. It’s a sacrament in which God washes away our sins and makes us into the children of God. Jesus himself highlighted the importance of baptism when he said, “No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit” (John 3:5). Sadly, there is a lot of confusion in the Christian Church surrounding baptism. Who should be baptized? Is immersion necessary? Is baptism God’s work in us or our decision for God? In this Bible study, we’re studying what the Bible says about this wonderful gift from God.
In this first lesson about baptism, we answered the question: “What Is It?” Christians baptize because Jesus himself commands us to in Matthew 28:16-20. Baptism itself is simple: It’s plain water used in the name of the Father, the Son, ...

The Sacrament Of Baptism
The Sacrament Of Baptism
We acknowledge two sacraments: Holy Communion and Baptism.
💧 In the time of John the Baptist, baptism was a ritual of inclusion for those embracing Israel's faith. It represented cleansing and making oneself fit for God's presence.
But John saw a deeper need – the need for God's presence in people's lives, and the obstacle of sin preventing it.
It's a radical transformation of heart and mind, a turning point in our lives. It's when we awaken to the consequences of our choices and embrace a new way of living.
💒 Baptism seals this change, bringing us into God's community, washing away our sins, and setting us on a fresh path.
🙏 O Great God of new beginnings, we thank you today for the grace of every new start. We especially thank you for the grace of baptism. ...
