God Reflection

Colorado Christian University Essay Kim Slickmeyer A pivotal experience that I had in my walk with Jesus occurred during “The Walk to Emmaus” in September 2012. I attended the weekend retreat at Livingston First Church in Livingston, Tennessee during the women’s Walk #82 and was assigned the table of Ruth. The fellowship and spiritual experience was beyond what I had expected. The Lord revealed to me during that weekend that He was calling me to teach His Word to women. During the next few months I began leading and attending various Bible studies. I was amazed how much I was learning and the wisdom that God was revealing to me. As with everything in life, there were many who wanted to keep me down knowing I was excited and determined. Some

Over the span of four months, each week I would regularly meet with a former colleague of mine by the name of Terrion Austin. Terrion recently moved from Nebraska to Tennessee, due to his job opening that presented itself that would allow for him to be closer to both him and his wife’s family. Terrion reached out to me over the summer, due to the fact that he was extremely unsure in his faith. He felt that whenever he read the bible he was never felt satisfied once done reading. This frustrated him tremendously. In addition to his frustration, Terrion was often confronted by members from his job that would frequently ask him questions that he did not feel he could answer. Moreover, his inability to answer did not come from a lack of knowing the bible; however, it was quite the opposite. Terrion, like most young Christian, grew up

One day, I was walking through the Family Christian Book Store and passed a book that was being featured: “Preparing Him For The Other Woman.” The title alone peaked my interest.

The coaching staff at Godby was extremely flexable anytime I had school work or an exam to study for they would allow me to either leave practice early or work on my assignments during practice as long as I have completed my daily task. The coaching staff was also very patient with me which was something I felt was important. They understood that I was new to their football system so they worked with me as I tried to learn the teams procedures, different plays and even getting to know the players better. They were also very mannarable when it came to me being the only women working around the program.

Hello, single lady. Perhaps you picked up this book because you are tired of the empty promises of a man, or, maybe you still think that in order for you to obtain wealth and get that white picket fence brick house, is by getting married. Perhaps your world seems confused; caught between two worlds, straddled between the fence of getting ‘things’ God’s way or getting things by going against your belief. And, just maybe, you are lonely and find yourself in compromising situations that are against the Truth you know. I am no different from you, in that I have issues I need to deal with in order to live the divine, abundant life God promised me in his Word. As I began to search his Word further, I found out that my life moves in the direction

Tucked away in Sonoma County is Westminster Woods, which has played a significant role in mentoring me into the leader I am now. In college, I attended a weekly worship, which included an individual sharing his or her testimony, and I saw this as a special addition to the high school conference. I introduced this faith reflection time at the Woods, allowing campers to hear from their counselors and leaders about faith. However, once testimonies began, the wheels came off the wagon quickly – I had listened to speakers share a piece of their faith succinctly, but now our counselors were sharing their entire life story, rather than focusing on transformational points. Soon, counselors were only willing to speak if something traumatic had happened

In our society today, it can be hard to fully understand and relate to biblical texts written in a seemingly different world. With stories of great joys and sorrows, I found that although the world we live in today is different, the messages are still highly relevant. As long as humans are still imperfect and desired filled beings, we will need the wisdom of these biblical texts to guide us. As the stories of overcoming hardships and suffering made an impression on me, the stories of love and acceptance filled me with great emotion. There are many differences that seem to separate Christians today, whether in arguments such as interpretations or certain beliefs. This has only divided an undivided religion. I found comfort and strength from texts about love and a calling for Christians to come together despite differences. In this, I found a deeper connection to myself and others.

Mcgowan’s description of Jesus as the disabled God makes sense to me because Jesus is the human form of God. Like most humans, Jesus goes through many burdens and was considered a plebeian by society. Human burdens Jesus has felt include feeling sadness, fear and being physically hurt as he was left with scars after being nailed to the cross. Jesus had a lot of emotional and physical burdens in his life, therefore, compared to the all powerful God in heaven, Jesus is the disabled God. Additionally, we see Jesus as a humble person since he lived through hardships that include being hated on and ultimately killed.

It is always a blessing to have the opportunity to share all God 's marvelous works in my life with believers and non-believers.

He is the potter, who gradually mold me into His effective servant and continue to use me to serve His kingdom. I am grateful that He loves me conditionally and does not hold my shortcomings against me. Here is a testimony of God’s correction and my submissive to the Good Shepherd.

In examining my experience during the recent Cohort Intensives held at Payne Theological Seminary (PTS) in Wilberforce, Ohio; I was quite intrigued with how all of the scholars and guest speakers reinforced many of the initiatives I have already implemented in the context of my own ministry. Likewise, my time spent in class with my Cohort mentors Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie and Rev. Dr. Kenneth S. Robinson was both scholastically and spiritually invaluable. During the week-long Intensive class sessions with my mentors, I learned a number of new things about myself that I was not previously willing to address. In short, I had a moment of self-actualization that required some personal omissions on my part regarding my faith and yes some internalized oppression as labeled by author Gayraud S. Wilmore. Opening up in class and admitting a few of my own short-comings was nothing short of liberating. Suddenly, I felt as though I had an epiphany; that has given birth to a renewed zeal, mind, and spirit. For the first time in years I am certain that I am now moving closer to the apex of excellence where God intended me to be.

His face. Whether you know it or not, this is your ultimate goal. It is the beginning of everything and the end and purpose of everything. The power behind this truth is what drove Pastor Bill Johnson to write this revelatory book called Face to Face with God.

God is God, no matter how simple that statement is, it is true and always will be. No one can know God perfectly, He is infinite and no one can wrap their minds around just exactly who God is. Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from actually knowing God. Our God is bigger and greater than anything anyone could ever think of. Yet the Bible tells us many things about God and the way He works that could help us better understand Him. Our God is three in one, God being three in one is what we call the “Trinity”. Trinity is the Christian doctrine that deals with and also describes the nature of God. In the Trinity, the three persons are God the father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If God is not
