The Old Testament of the Holy Bible gives many examples which provide modern man with guidelines for the use of scientific method. Millam (2008) explains that there is an underlying order in nature demonstrated by the patterns and regularities of God’s creations. These regularities can be seen in the forces of nature and are stable throughout space and time (Millam, 2008). The original classification of species, use of precise measurement, and even the first account of scientific research, are all included in the Old Testament of the Holy Scriptures. God gives scientists some clear frames of reference for seeking knowledge and truth in science.

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,

Attention Brevard college students, we have a new professor on campus and her name is Dorinda Christian. She is our newest BORG professor here at Brevard College.

In today’s extremely competitive, job-scarce economy, having a college degree is now a steadfast requirement when applying to even entry-level professional jobs. Choosing a college has always been a challenging task for high school seniors, but it is now fraught with stress and anxiety for nearly every adult who seeks to further their education. Questions abound: what school offers the exact program I desire? What school is in the best location, or has the best campus? What school feels ‘right’?

Three years ago I went to an International House of Prayer (IHOP) convention in Kansas City, KS and it changed my life. The experience involved three days of prayer, fellowship, worship, witnessing, and healing. Prophesying was taking place and I was there to witness it. The Holy Spirit was alive in that place and the energy was almost overwhelming. Miracles were happening all around me. Children were getting up out of their wheelchairs and walking. Some people were blind. Through prayer they could suddenly see. The weak became strong, and the broken became healed. I thought to myself “What a magnificent God”! That moment changed my perspective completely. The truth is, the power of God is in each of us Christians and the same God that was

How did the earth and everything on it come into existence? This is a question, that for the Christian worldview is answered by the Bible, in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. The Bible makes clear to it’s readers that God existed before anything else. The creation account in Genesis 1 splits creation into 6 days and a 7th day of rest. The first day God created the earth and Heaven as well as day and night. The second day God separated the earth from heaven to create the sky. On the third day God separated the waters on earth so there would be dry land. He created plants and trees that could bear fruit and seeds. God made theses plants so that they would be able to keep growing from the seeds that fell from them. On the fourth day God created the

My name is Asia Harvey. I am eighteen years old. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am a freshman in college majoring in communications. Worldview to me means how everyone in the world interprets reality. I believe everyone has a worldview and it is influenced by our ethics, morals, and family values. It can also be influenced by what we hear, what we read, what we see or who we associate with. Worldview is mostly influenced by religion and science even though, a worldview can and do change. I believe the Christian worldview deals with the belief in the Bible. It leads me to believe that God created the universe in six days and on the last day he rested and that I am God's creation put on earth to fellowship with him and govern

There are many different religions and beliefs throughout the world, ranging from Islam, Secular Humanism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. The worldview of many of these religions differs greatly when compared to Christianity. For example, the questions of origin, Identity, Meaning/purpose, Morality, Destiny may get you different answer from each belief. I have chosen to discuss Buddhism in comparison to a Christian’s worldview on the questions of origin, Identity, Meaning/purpose, Morality and destiny. “Buddhism is a religion, originated in India by Buddha and later spreading to China, Burma, Japan, Tibet and parts of southeast Asia, holding that life is full of suffering caused by desire and that the way to end this suffering is through enlightenment

When it comes to living out the beliefs of the Christian worldview, the way to do so is by attempting to emulate the behaviors that Jesus displayed during his limited time on earth. This is because as Christians we are expected to live a life that mirrors his since Jesus lived a sinless life and had a perfect relationship with the Father. Trying to emulate the behavior of Christ and by virtue living out the virtues of life is based upon the examples left within the Bible. In the Bible, Christ showed how his followers were to live out his teachings in their everyday lives despite the persecution that they would face from others. Instances of this include when he told Peter not to fight the guards, when he spoke of turning one's cheek, and when

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

American society is a complicated web of networks that interconnect to produce a functioning system that people look to for guidance. History repeats itself all the time and society is always mirroring the past. Today, our societies’ boundaries are still debated about heatedly. Race, class, and gender help create these boundaries and as Foner wrote, “our imagined community will continue to be a source of political conflict and social struggle” (Foner).

“There is much that can be learned about leadership from Scripture” (Smith, 1992, p. 39). The Bible provides us with what God not only desires His man of God to be, but requires His under shepherd to meet His character traits.

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
