Compose an initial post dialogue that integrates a complete Bible scripture verse and transcends all aspects of the following question(s) comprehensively and collectively as a single post.  Please note the following Grading Guidelines for Weekly Dialogues.  There are certain expectations that transcend the grading of a dialogue in this class. The syllabus and Bb content state that students are to follow the APA Writing Style & Formatting Guidelines, including citations, integrating a Bible scripture quote or integrating God's Word according to the rubric and increase the exchange of knowledgeable ideas that bring depth and insight to the dialogue. The dialogues are somewhat subjective; therefore, grade reduction usually results from lacking one or more of the following:

• Did not align with the rubric's Excellent level descriptions; see each section which gives specifics and shows expectations for each part
• Did not include a Required Research Source, which the syllabus explains
  Note: a Textbook, Wikipedia, Investopedia, etc. are not peer reviewed
• Did not integrate the Bible, such as a quoted and APA cited Bible Scripture (complete verse)
