The post provides two excellent subjects. The occupation selection of lawyer should provide an interesting example of how God values justice. A possible addition to the speech could be of the apostle Peter in Cornelius’s house. In this story, Peter explains that God does not show favoritism or discriminates towards others. An attorney is often tested and pressured to show a prejudice toward one side or the other. A Christian lawyer must remain impartial and remain true to their beliefs and
Imagine a movement starting with just 12 ordinary people that has grown to influence billions across the globe, shaping art, culture, and history for over two millennia. That's the story of Christianity. Christianity originated in the 1st century AD, with its roots in Judea, part of the Roman Empire. It began as a Jewish sect founded on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who followers believed was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. After Jesus' crucifixion and reported resurrection, his followers spread his teachings.
I agree with you, the traveler is very caring person and the moment he knew there is another life alive he stopped. The traveler is very emotional and wanted save both lives, the fawn and people who travel by that deer. But when he knew he can't do anything he did the right thing to push her away in the canyon.
Biblical principles are the foundation that influenced the criminal justice system as we know it today. Many of the laws that we adhere to today were originally disseminated to the masses via the teachings and principles contained within the Bible. Many of the crimes against persons and property that are illegal by Christian standards were originally made illegal by biblical standards. This paper will discuss laws as they are written in the bible comparing them to laws applicable in today’s criminal justice system.
I never thought to be a Christian leader. As a matter of fact, I am a person who did not know about God for 26 years. I was the center of my life, and there was no room for God to enter. Even when I was attending church service, I was trying not to be exposed to other church people. In other words, I was the kind of person who was afraid to walk into a life of faith. However, in the past three years, God has changed me in many ways, and showed me so many miraculous things. And, finally here I am. Being a Christian leader seems the most challenging job in the world. I am working as the chairman of a youth ministry, and walking on the path to be a church leader. When God called me to work for the
Ever since I was six years old, the year I was baptized, I have been on fire for the Lord. I attended a Christian school for eight years and have always been very involved at my church. My first experience outside of my “Christian bubble” was when I went to a public high school. For the first time in my life, I was out of my comfort zone. Being at a public school challenged my faith, strengthened my leadership skills, and forced me to branch out and meet people I would have never encountered otherwise. However, even though being at a public school helped strengthen my faith in ways I would have never guessed, I believe attending a Christian university—like Liberty—is the best choice to further my education. Going to college is new and exciting, but it can also be a demanding and intimidating experience. Being so far away from home, in a different environment,
Christian exegesis originates on Jesus Christ’s rebuke of Hebraic Literalism concerning issues such as, the Sabbath, sacrifice and rabbinic authority. However, Christianity hinges on original sin doctrine, fully developed by the church father, Augustine of Hippo based on Romans 5:12, “Therefore just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned.” Consequently, providing a theo-statist worldview, as the state becomes divinely ordained punishment for fallen man. In credit to Leo Strauss, he does not take a position on discrepancy relationships between Christian and Hebraic revelation by forsaking opinion. Nevertheless, both Augustine and Thomas Aquinas related Judeo-Christian revelation to classical political philosophy. Specifically, Strauss stated, “Augustine integrated revelation and philosophy”, as if revelation completed philosophy while not, contradicting its legitimacy. Original Sin doctrine unites, a Christian/Hebraic universalism, in which, all humanity can share, however, even Jesus himself stated, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Humanity’s worldview of
I enjoyed reading your post. I am in agreement with your statement in Christian coaching promoting greatness and God’s plan in someone’s life. As Catherine defined Christian coaching during the video lecture, “Christian life coaching is a new helping relationship to propel Christian formation” (American Association of Christian Counselors, n.d.). I also believed that it is essential to embrace our Christian worldview when working as Christian coaches because this is what would set us apart from other coaches. In addition.there are many important aspects to consider when working as a professional in a discipline such as this one but the key aspect is to understand our spiritual foundations. In other words, we as Christian coaches need to have
in just the sophomore class due to stress, repugnance, or isolation. A copious amount of students at the school complain about stress and ridiculous rules. As a matter of fact, about 75 percent of students are disinterested with the school. The students believe that the school needs to progress in order to keep interest. Advancement in rules, a time for community every day, and the reduction in homework can significantly adjust a student’s perspective on school. Likewise, it illustrates how Christians should behave. To improve Northwest Christian School, one should make the lunchroom into a cafe before school, allow students to wear their school shirts any day of the week, and assign no homework on Wednesdays or weekends.
Throughout this paper, the term Judeo-Christian tradition will be used to reference the Judaism and Christianity religions as no distinction can be made between the two with the sources provided.
“When you argue against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all: it is like cutting off the branch you are sitting on.” I got that quote from Mere Christianity. God is omnipotent and He is all- powerful. He knows and sees everything, God is unlike Santa Claus, God is something to really believe in. God has given C.S. Lewis a very intriguing way to spread his word. Mere Christianity has many ideas on faith and truth that helps my walk with the Lord.
As I approach the end of my high school career, I start thinking if I am prepared and ready to face the next step in my life. College is known to test a man’s responsibility in order to prepare him to face the world alone. Jesuit High School has changed my life throughout the years I have attended the school. Jesuit has prepared me for college and taught me how to become a more responsible man. When I was thinking of where I should apply to high school, Jesuit was not my first option; however, coming from a family of Jesuit alumni, I knew it was the only school for me. Throughout my earlier years at Jesuit, I struggled and was miserable due to the overwhelming work and rules I was required to follow. However, I soon realized what the school was about in its mission in turning its students into men for others. I have found that Jesuit High School has transformed me educationally, has made me a more responsible man, and has taught me to be a man for others.
Shortly after the middle ages ended, around the 14th century, new beliefs and ideas began to take place in Europe. These ideas focused on challenging ancient beliefs (this is known as Renaissance Humanism) and the rediscovery of Christian documents (This is known as Christian Humanism). Education began to have more value, and man began to think more selfishly.
List the religion(s) from our study this semester you believe are represented in, or have influenced, the United States’ system of governance. Give specific examples of the element(s) represented for each religion, and how they are represented. Are there “threads of truth” all the religions we studied share, which are represented in our civic society? Cite scripture passages from each religion to back up your claims. Cite specific laws, documents, currency, patriotic music, sculpture, etc. that illustrate your assertions
As Christians, we should be lights for Christ and show His love through us. We often forget how many people can look up to us so we should watch how we live our lives. We are called to be set apart and not conformed to the world. Lies and deception are major sins in our world today. No one can trust each other or keep their word. They lie to others and break their promises. Christians should not live as promise breakers but promise keepers! Jesus is our perfect example as a promise keeper. He always keeps his promises and never deceives us. He promised eternal life to those who believe and accept him and eternal life they shall receive! We should keep the promises of others and gain their trust. Jephthah kept his vow for "a vow was a solemn
Christian Tradition course exposed me to the Christian Tradition based on Biblical and church history. The course taught me the differences and similarities of Christian Tradition from other major world religions. I learned about the significance of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Trinity based on the teachings of the Bible. The course also briefly covered 2,000 years of church history but with emphasis on the impact of the Council of Nicea, Council of Chalcedon, and John and Charles Wesley on Christianity. The professor emphasized the importance of the reformation that sparked a revolution in the church.
