Reflection Paper On God's Love

It has been so amazing being in these classes with you. I am trying to think of a class that I have not had you in, can’t think of any. It is a given that you are going to have a good life. I know that the world is better because you are in it. You should consider yourself a Proverbs 31 woman and then some. I am excited to hear about your feats and accomplishments.

Of all the incredible divine qualities Jesus Christ exemplifies, the one I love most is His constancy. He is the same “yesterday, today, and forever,” and as Moroni teaches us, from Him cometh “every good gift.” Because Jesus Christ is constant, all of God’s children who have ever lived or ever will live on the Earth can look to the scriptures and prophets to identify patterns of obedience by which they may obtain every one of these good gifts, This is in accordance with that law decreed in heaven, that “when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it was predicated.”

Well, we all know or have children, and there's always that one child who you wake up to some days and you go "who sent you?"

1. Dr. Revlon Briggs presented information to Health Care Administration and Planning (HCAP) 3900 students on how to prepare and present a proposal.

The Spirit of giving requires to give time and loyalty to any activity that helps better our community or other humane things around us. I participated in helping to make a charity walk for Crohn’s and Colitis successful with a couple of my peers. So much happened in six hours of volunteering it began with confusion of what to do to lots of fun with the children I was interacting with in my stand. A charity walk was the perfect way to feel involved into the community, I received a very meaningful experience while I was helping out at the charity walk. I am proud to say that I enjoyed my time organizing awareness of Crohn’s and Colitis and involving with my community.

God gives us numerous blessings throughout our lives. It is our duty to appreciate these blessings and be appreciative towards them. One of the many blessings he bestows upon us is the gift of His chesed. By studying this gift closely, I have learned about the meaning of chesed, stories demonstrating God's chesed, what these stories teach us about God's commitment to us, and how his chesed has impacted my life.

According to E.F. Peters, “The three great faiths called Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were born of an event that each remembers as a moment in history, when the One True God appeared to an Iron Age sheikh named Abram and bound him in a covenant forever (Peters, 2004).” Unfortunately, a paradox exists between the three monotheists – Jesus. Islam and Judaism look at Jesus a prophet and teacher (Keller, pg. 4, 2007), whereas Christians view Jesus as God. Tim Keller agreed that this is a problem as well, because it leads to exclusivity “Therefore, it is easy for one religious group to stereotype and caricature other ones (Pg.4).” Keller offers several signification suggestions about how Christians can give insight about their faith and defend the reasons for their belief giving a clearer picture to nonbelievers or believers of other religions. This leads to Tim Keller’s introduction of his book a Reason For God, where he challenges the believer, “…to ask the hard questions about why they believe… (p. Xvi).” This statement led me to investigating my own faith so that it moves from inheritance to my own personal belief.

Heavenly Father watch over and protect my husband. Help him to become the man, father and husband you created him to be. Help him to be kind, gentle, loving, always edifying those he loves. Help him to have keen discernment about the people around him. Give him strength and courage for all situations that he faces in life. Give him a peace that surpasses all understanding. Help him to always walk in truth. Anoint him to walk in righteousness all the days of his life. Give him a vision for his family and marriage. These things I ask in Jesus name.

Koss-Chioino & Hefner (2006) defined spirituality as the search for the sacred. The search is the path that one follows towards the sacred, which most religions claim to offer. The sacred is somewhat ineffable in nature, but in very simplistic terms it refers to the divine (Koss-Chioino & Hefner, 2006). It is important to note that the idea of the divine may vary for different people depending on various factors such as culture, religion, subjective experiences, individual differences, and so on. Regardless of differences between people’s conceptions of the divine, researchers are mostly interested in finding consistent patterns throughout a diversity of spiritual experiences so that it may be applied in clinical settings due to its strong

the sun has immense power and is enormous. the core is 27 million degrees. though the sun is 93 million miles from earth it is the light supply for earth . many examples of gods power in nature. psalm 33 9 our nearest star is the sun. it provides energy through neuclearer fusion. the sun produces more energy in one second than a major city would in a year. this is only a sliver of gods power. the suns life giving energy provides a constant reminder of gods gift of love. psalm 147 4-5. there are millions of galaxies that contain over billions of stars. scripture before the invention of the telescope the bible predicted that we are unable to predict the number of stars but he knows each one by name. the marvel of the galaxies shows the power of god. today most astronomers ackloedge that the universe appears to be expanding which agrees to isaiah 40 22. psalm 19 1- the heavens declare the glory of god.

An “apostle” in Greek means “a sent one.” Strong defines it as “a delegate, a messenger, one sent forth with orders.” Sent by whom? And what orders? In the New Testament context, the One who sends is the LORD Jesus Christ, and the order of the LORD is to “[equip] the saints, for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of GOD” (Eph 4:12-13). This work of the LORD had been planned and appointed before the foundation of the world. GOD who sees the end from the beginning has already appointed all things before He began time or even created it.

As tears fell from my eyes and onto the light blue carpet, I heard words I never thought I would hear. One Sunday about three years ago, our assistant pastor preached a message, and after that, he announced that our pastor was stepping down. Because it was such a close-knit church, we quickly learned that our pastor had committed adultery with one of my best friends’ mother. My family was extremely upset and the whole church was distraught when we heard the news. I had no idea what to think. This man, whom I trusted, had baptized me and answered any questions I had. My family adored our pastor because he was such a great teacher of the Bible. I could not fathom how my pastor, a man of God, could be capable of a sin like this. After church that day, my family went out to eat. At the restaurant, my father mentioned that he wanted to try out a different church. This idea my father posed to my family was so foreign to me. This church family was all I had ever known since I was four years old. I continuously asked God: after eleven years, why did my family have to be uprooted. I could not understand how something like this could happen. The Bible says in Romans 8:28 that “all things work together for the good of those who love God,” but I did not understand how anything “good” could possibly come from my situation.

The bible was written as an account of what many viewed that God had accomplished so his actions and words could be passed on for generations. Some believe it is a literary account and some believe it is a historical account. The word of God in the bible comes in many forms and is left up to interpretation by the reader. Some believe that the word of God should be the only word and should be strictly followed. Some believe that the words are meant as a guideline to help us through life. Whatever your belief is you can always seem to find the meaning behind your belief through the word of God in the Bible.

Studies of Jesus primarily focus on the duality of Jesus and how he is able to be both human and divine at once. This subject was disputed at the Council of Chalcedon in the year 451 between the

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.
