Genesis 28:10-22
Sermon

... word echoes the idea of the shekinah, the “glory” of God which in physical form would look like a “staircase” of light. ^See also Bethsaida in Archaeology, History, and Ancient Culture, ed. J. Harold Ellens, et al. on a theory that the word imitates Mesopotamian ziggurats. This however doesn’t seem to equate well, as you can go up a ziggaret, but the divine does not come down. ^^rabbiwein.com and hoshanarabbah.org for the Highway of Holiness.

602. Ask Jacob!
Matthew 6:25-34, Genesis 25:19-34
Sermon
Lori Wagner
... . Or at least we think so at the time. But these are mere distractions. Distractions that turn our heads away from Jesus, distractions that masquerade as truth, just as death masquerades as life. Only Jesus is the living Bread. Only Jesus is the One who cannot be imitated or replaced. Only Jesus can fill you up with the grace, and love, and peace that only God can bestow on you. Only Jesus can renew your life, quench your thirst, quell your pangs of hunger for a life beyond your reach. Nothing is beyond the ...

... who betray are like Jesus’ metaphor of wolves in sheep’s clothing. They appear to be sheep. They look like sheep. They talk like sheep. They seem beautiful and gentle and docile like sheep. They behave at first glance like first-class sheep. They can imitate sheep to the max. But they…are…not…sheep! And you find that out when you get too close to them. Then you encounter “the teeth” or “the horns.” Or in the case of the multiflora rose, “the thorns.” In the scriptures, we have many ...

Exodus 3:1-22
Sermon
Carl Jech
... by fictional crime-fighter Lamont Cranston. A creaking door introduced each show, followed by the sinister and now-famous words: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" then came a sinister laugh. (The preacher might risk an imitation.) Have you noticed that the Bible does not seek to cover up the darker side of even its greatest heroes? In his textbook on World Religion, John Hutchison writes: "(With) 'biblical realism' ... there is little or no glorification of a hero, as in ...
The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.

Art not only imitates nature, but also completes its deficiencies.
Aristotle
There is a difference between imitating a good man and counterfeiting him.
Benjamin Franklin
Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.
Bjork
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest Second, by imitation, which is easiest and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.
Confucius
Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.
Dante Alighieri
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'
Edgar Allan Poe
The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation.
Edgar Degas
Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.
Eric Hoffer
When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other. Originality is deliberate and forced, and partakes of the nature of a protest.
Eric Hoffer
I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.
Ernst Fischer
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for giving to Mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, ...
George Washington
Emulation admires and strives to imitate great actions; envy is only moved to malice.
Honore de Balzac
Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.
Horace Walpole
Past: Our cradle, not our prison, and there is danger as well as appeal in its glamour. The past is for inspiration, not imitation; for continuation, not repetition.
