My Beliefs Of Faith : My Faith In My Life

The first goal I have is to understand the scriptures in the Bible and grow in my faith. When I started to look at colleges, I didn’t even think about attending a Christian college. I contacted a junior college in a nearby town to see what they had to offer me. By the grace of God, they recommend me to CCU. At the time that I enrolled, I didn’t realize that I would be required to take Bible classes. At first, I wondered

Faith in Christ has given me a unique life filled with optimism and purpose. From a young age, I have been raised in a home where I was taught about the love of Christ. Not only at home did I learn about Christ, but at school and at church. Thus, my life has been filled with experiences that have amplified my faith. For example, when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, I found that my relationship with Christ grew. Through all of the difficult circumstances that I have faced, faith in Christ has given me the encouragement that I need to persevere through any situation. Additionally, faith has influenced my decision making, which is why I strive to make all my decisions and live my life according to faith-based principles. This means

My personal faith grows daily by my choice to follow my love and savior, Jesus, every day I wake up. It was by no accident that God showed me Liberty University, and has now become a top option in my choices of colleges. I believe in the deep mission Liberty University has to develop Christ-centered believers because it is the same mission I strive to live out daily in my walk as a follower of Christ. My season of life will not always be the same as someone else's, but I pray that what I have walked through and what God taught me in those seasons can give perspective to others. I have grown up always knowing God but not until my sophomore year in high school did I truly start to live that out. I took two opportunities in the past two years

I have wanted a college education for many years, but haven’t known where to begin. Once I looked into Christian Colorado University (CCU) I knew I wanted to attend. I want to be a part of a community where I can earn an education while being able to share my faith in God with other students. I feel that being accepted into Christian Colorado University would be the first step in advancing my education, and my faith. I would like to be able to be a part of a university that allows me to learn academically, and strengthen my relationship with God. Overall, many experiences in my life have changed me. However, the miracles in which I witnessed at IHOP, has given me stronger faith. Now I am finally ready to begin my college education. I think attending a school where I can connect with others in terms of faith would be a blessing. I look forward to this journey and opportunity at CCU. I plan on pursuing Theology as a Major. My experience at IHOP led me to want to learn more about God. I have the confidence I need, the spirit of the Lord living within me, and I know that with God the impossible doesn’t exist. Thank you, Erika

Now imagine the world without Christians: Seventh Day Adventist to be exact. I chose a faith based institution for spiritual training, Sabbath keeping, and having the tools that will prepare me to offer different services and deploy me out in the world while building God’s kingdom. While attending Southwestern Adventist University in Keene, Texas. It was training ground, a family based atmosphere filled with love and a little heaven on earth. Knowing how imperative this in a dark, hungry and thirsty planet. I made it my duty to attain all the spiritual training needed to be a light to those dying souls. And I believe at a faith based intuition I will receive the spiritual training needed where I will be able to build a Christian character, develop an inner transformation that will help ignite changes in

Faith and reason can be viewed as opposites. Faith is an element of belief, something an individual does not necessarily require a reason for accepting without reason. For example, an individual’s reason for believing in God may not seem too rational when they are trying to explain them. They may not even stand up to criticism. On the other hand, reason is constructed as a formula. Faith is basically something we believe in, like something we learn in church. Reason is something we learn in school, such as a math formula.

Attending Colorado Christian University not only will assist me in obtaining a higher education but learning to share my religion with others. I look forward to applying my beliefs to my profession. I am hoping that CCU will be able to assist me with this. On more than one occasion, there have been moments where I have hesitated encouraging a patient to pray or have faith. If my patients are able to see what religion has done for me I hope that they can strive for what I have. Prayer has done wonders for my life. I am aware that not all prayers are answered the way we want them to be but other times prayers are answered for more than we asked for. God always works in mysterious ways. My mother has always told me that God has placed a bright light in me that was meant to shine. I strive for others to see my bright light and spark a curiosity for what I have. Being a Christian nurse is the perfect opportunity to educate about God. My patients are often vulnerable and looking for something. God would be great filler for whatever these patients are looking for. I am sure that CCU gets students everyday striving for a higher education and a better idea of what God has to

One argues that today we have a crisis of belief, not a crisis of faith. To explain this crisis, I will briefly examine the relationship between faith and belief, explain why cultural shift is important to note when trying to understand religious issues, go into detail on the three hallmarks of each of the two cultures by showing how they compare to each other, show how Tillich’s notion of correlation deals with this idea of culture and a crisis of belief, and explain how Marsh’s notion of a “theology of negotiation” (33) fits with Lonergan’s definition and allows him to argue that film can help us raise theological questions.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate and engage in the comparisons between my Christian faith tradition and the faith tradition of the Buddhism. The purpose of the essay is not to defame another tradition nonetheless, to engage in comparative religious examine to aid in my understanding of other religion and traditions.

Coming from a public school experience, to a Christian centered experience has already begun to transform me so that I am focusing more on God and what He has planned for me and my life. One way I am growing and will continue to grow in my faith is by learning more about The Bible and its interpretations. Through Old Testament, New Testament, and Christian Doctrine, I will begin to grasp the details, backgrounds, perspectives, ideas, laws, and practices taught in the Bible. By studying the Bible, I will learn how to better serve God and follow the path that he has laid out for me. I have always wanted to be a teacher and I believe that my calling is in the realm of education; after I teach I want to create educational policy, and consequently become a leader in my field. By doing what I feel God has called me to do, I am glorifying him. Finally, in coming to Westmont I am working to center my life in Christ, because Westmont centers itself on Christ. At Westmont, I have already seen so many opportunities to help me grow in my faith. By having faith integrated into my classes, attending chapel, and conversing about what it means to be a Christian, I know Westmont’s environment will help me grow in my

My journey to CCU started close to 40 years ago. I was five, and was invited by my friend one Sunday morning to attend church with her family. My memory of this event differs from my mothers, and both accounts are important and pertinent to the end result of this pivotal event. Ultimately, it brought my family to the saving grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. My memory, one of only a five year old child, still serves me with my innocent smile, a heart full of joyful happiness, and an excitement for life. I recall walking, maybe even jumping with excitement, into the house asking my mother if I could go to church with my friend. I heard my mother say; “yes,” I then grabbed her Bible and went to church for the first time. Now, my mothers

Look back twenty-five years ago, on same sex marriage was a ?thought experiment? in our culture. The idea promoted primarily by those on the left and other cultures who?noticed?? amount of?boundaries to personal freedom and behavior. (April 6th, 2013 Dr.Jim Eckman).Just Seventeen years ago Congress pass a Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which define a marriage, as a union between a man and women. In recent years, the debate has moved beyond questions of individual rights and proper family formation to include questions that pit religious liberty against non-discrimination policies. While all laws legalizing same-sex marriage contain some conscience protections allowing churches and other religious groups to refuse to marry gay and lesbian couples,

What is faith? Faith is something different to everyone. If you asked a hundred different people, it is possible that you would get many diverse answers. Religious faith and non-religious faith are two very distinct terms. Faith holds an extremely complex meaning when discussing it in the context of religion. Faith is a belief. That holds true to every religious and non-religious person. Every faith involves a decision. It is not about what we claim to believe, but what we actually do believe, that is true faith. Throughout this paper, I am going to discuss Christian faith, how it pertains to daily life and Christianity as a whole. I also intend to delve into George W. Forell's discussion of Christian faith and analyze and

Here at Colorado Christian University, we are all self-proclaimed Christians, but it seems that everyone believes something different whether it be related to the age of the Earth, if the Bible is infallible or not, or whether things like alcohol are sinful or not. This is no different when we talk about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the next several pages, I will outline my beliefs about the Work of Christ, the Person of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Trinity, as well as back my beliefs on these things with Scripture and other theological writings.

I am a Christian and I believe in the Holy trinity: God, the Son, the Holy Spirit.
