Reflection 1

God shows love in the greatest ways. There are so many passages, especially in the book of John that prove what a loving God we have. He sacrificed his only son for us and if that doesn't prove his amount of love then I'm not sure what could. Everyday this attribute of God shines through anybody who believes in him. There are ways love is working in your life right now and you don't even realize it. Romans 13:10- "love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Going about your day with love will never steer you wrong. Even if you feel like you just cannot be loving today, try your hardest to have an attitude of love and it will change your perspective for sure. It can drastically change your personal views as a believer, the way you can apply this attribute, and how the attribute of love can draw in non-believers.

God gave us the bible so that we can understand rational truths with our mind and know what to believe. He teaches us how to Worship by painting a picture of the world through his eyes. He teaches us about ourselves, eternity, why we are here on Earth, and how to know right from wrong so we can Worship the greatness that is him. God has given us many commands like in Matthew 22: 37-39 to follow but we should take the teaching and understand the relationship that is presented between us and the Worship of him. God wants us to experience him and his world. By understanding God’s invitation to know him better we learn not only more about him, but more about ourselves. We learn what sins to avoid, what parts of our lives need to be changed, how we can love others through him, and what are his plans and purpose for our lives thorough him are. To Worship becomes lessons on how to live a fulfilled life that we could never accomplish without him like in Psalm 19: 7-8; and Corinthians 5:17.

Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).

Looking back at project 3, I felt very happy with the essay I produced. I am not one to enjoy writing since I usually do not feel very confident in my writing. I felt the work I produced through project 3 was one of my best. I put a lot of effort into this essay and it showed in my final draft. With this being said, after comparing my essay to the rubric I gave myself a 3.64 overall on this project for many reasons. This essay in no means was perfect, but I learned from my strengths and weaknesses.

The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)

A daily bible study plays a major part for college freshman to grow closer to Christ. God set the bible as the main source for revealing Himself. The bible is His love letter to all humans, and by reading and studying it every day, they can start to truly understand God’s great character and His great love. God’s character is revealed within the bible’s pages; it tells of His great majesty and grandeur. If students do not dive into the word, they will miss how holy and perfect He is. Christ’s ultimate sacrifice is also explained multiple times in the bible. He demonstrated His great love for us by dying on a cross, defeating sin, and rising from the grave. He did all of this to save His creation, so they may come live with Him. Christians who do not study the bible can take His sacrifice for granted so easily. Freshmen must understand what Christ did for them and know how great their Lord is. Students can grow closer to Christ through prayer as well. God has given

Worship is a time in the life of the church that parishioners can hear the Word of God. This is a great opportunity for me to preach our doctrinal standards and theological task in a practical manner for the membership. I can share the importance of the distinctive Wesleyan Emphases like prevenient grace, justification and assurance, sanctification and perfection, faith and good works, mission and service, and nurture and mission of the

After 12 years of military service I moved to Texas along with my wife and five children. We started worshipping in a small church that was meeting in an elementary school auditorium. We got involved with the planning, location and building of a new place of worship. After completion of the building of the church, my wife and I joined the praise team. This I consider to be life changing, in that it required me to pray for God’s guidance like never before. It involved arranging the songs in a three step process. Beginning songs focused on bringing the congregation into the inter courts from the outer courts of spiritual awareness of God’s presence, before entering the Holies of Holies in a spiritual sense.

This book has evolved from a collection of my thoughts, observations and evaluations, which I have jotted down over the last several years. These are based on lessons I have drawn from my own experiences, as a born again Christian and sermon I have heard in church and discussion with my Christian sisters and brothers. I never dreamt that I would one day write a book about God‘s love! Frankly speaking, approximately five years ago, I truly dedicated my life to obeying god and walking in his footstep therefore, I am no expert on Christianity, and I am no expert on religious theories however, what I write can help others including myself who fight this life long battle with light and darkness and how to find answers to daunting questions that other interpreted so differently from the most obvious meaning.

God is love. “He expresses His love perfectly through Jesus. Because of our sin nature, expressing our love to others will always be poluted. Because of the present of the Spirit in our lives, it can be expressed” (1 Jn. 4: 8).

* Worship. Continuous revelation of God through the Holy Scripture and Christian Meditation makes Him more worthy to be praised. This activity then has another purpose which is to worship God.

This book report summary will be based on chapter seventeen “worship and evangelism.” Worship evangelism is a sensitive topic among theologians. This form of evangelism is quite controversial as there is no set-ground of a particular form of worship in the Bible. Basically, the Bible does not have an exact list of steps one should take in order to worship in a congregation. As a result, many individuals throughout history have attempted to interpret their own form of worship which has influenced the role of evangelism and worship in the church.

"Anthropomorphic worship" has taken the place of the belief that we gather in God 's presence to express our gratitude, recognize our need for forgiveness, and redemption as well as to listen to God 's voice for guidance to be sent off to tell the good news to others. An inadequacy of Biblical foundation and knowledge of the development of Christian worship practices has allowed for popular religiosity to take center stage. According to Dr. Cherry “Christian worship is a God-instituted gift to the church for nurturing our relationship with God and others. Worship is above all to God, with God, and for God.”

We believe that love is the greatest gift, motive and redemptive force in existence. God’s love set the universe in motion, brought the created order into being and defines God’s relationship with humanity. It is the essence of God and the reason for Christ’s life and atoning death. Because God loves us and can impart His love to us, we are able to truly love others with a depth, sincerity, compassion and selflessness that goes beyond mere human emotion. To be known and loved by God is the greatest joy we can experience; and to return and share that love is our greatest gift to God and to each other.

I have chosen Worship as my most favoured Christian discipline. Worship comes to me as a natural practice to give thanks and gratitude to Jesus for all he’s done and is doing for all humanity. I praise and pray on a daily basis, either through quiet reflective time in prayer to listening to worship music in the car, work and at home. Worship allows me to give thanks for the incredible gifts Jesus has given me and keeps my mind focused my spiritual journey in Jesus. Jesus is worth all the worship and praise as it says in Romans 12:1-2: “I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable, or well pleasing and perfect.”
