Macro Continuum Essay

I agree with the article when it talks about the importance of a Christian worldview. I think this article get the point of a Christian worldview in a diverse way, which is often largely neglected. I have heard from many people how important it is to view everything through the lens of God and the Bible, but they say this in a way that sounds afraid. It is almost like if they try to look at the world through other’s perspectives or let theirs be changed then they will be ruined. I do not agree with that mentality. Christianity is diverse. There are some beliefs that cannot be changed, the nature of Jesus and equally God and equally man is an example. But it is very easy to think that every little thing we believe is set in stone when we are in some very controlled

Out of the 381 million Americans living in the United states, 71% of them consider themselves a Christian ("US Christians Numbers 'decline Sharply'” 1). While the number of Christians in America has declined, their influence remains prevalent upon American society. Moreover, in terms of society, Christianity has influenced the development of the United States, and its social and cultural society.

Thesis Statement: The morals and the behavior of a person in society is a consequence of his religion.

So much of society seems to live his/her life on a sort of self-serving autopilot mode. Rarely does one stop to think how or why he/she is making certain decisions or how these decisions can affect his/her life in the future. Often times, it is not until one has a “string of bad luck” or something tragic happens in one’s life, when he/she will turn to Jesus for help “getting them through this problem” only to return to one’s self-centered ways once his/her life has returned to normal. Living life with a Christian worldview is not something that one can take off a shelf and use when needed and allow it to collect dust on that shelf the rest of the time. This paper will discuss the many parts that make

In Element of a Christian Worldview by Michael D. Palmer, it is written that “no worldview can survive apart from a social settings that bridges multiple generations” (pp.58). Palmer also states “the social element is indispensable to the long-term success of

The petitioner raises multiple issues regarding the IRS' final rule and interpretation of the provision regarding tax credits for taxpayers payers signed up in "an exchange established by the state." The IRS' final rule stated that the provision pertained to both state and federal exchanges. Petitioner argues that the phrase "established by the state," refers to just the states that have their own exchanges, and not the federal exchange. Therefore, the petitioners would not be eligible for the tax credits, and would not be required to maintain insurance coverage since the cost would exceed eight percent of their income.

The article The Myth of Certainty by Taylor Daneie talks about What it means to be a true Christian that lives in a healthy way. Daneie starts listing off a bunch of questions to get the reader to start thinking about their own life. She talks about being a respectable person and the challenges that a person faces in their life when they try to be a Christian. She talks about the doubts that she knows people have to face from society. A big part of her story was talking about what group a person fits in with and the contributions they make to that group. She says, “We belong to communities of belief which help shape, whether we are conscious of it or not, our views of the world and the actions in it” (Daneie p.21). Once people get into their groups and for their world view, it is tough to try and change them; nearly impossible to get them to change their mind.

A person’s worldview, whether it is Christian or non-Christian, is often influenced by their experiences. People develop different ways of thinking, as they experience the world

An individual’s worldview impacts every area of that individual’s life. As explained by Entwistle, an individual 's feelings as to science and Christianity is directly related to their worldview, a point of convergence that focuses and reshapes our awareness of the world and our place in it (Entwistle, 2015).

Mere Christianity by C.S Lewis was a series of radio talks, speaking about The Law of Human Nature. This isn't a scientific law this is simply a part of humans that some would call our moral code or ethics, but it is more then that. C.s uses logic to state that it’s not just a opinion, or something just in todays world, but that its all the way through history with the romans, theegyptions, every culture, in every part of the world, even there morals are diffrent at the basis levels of human nature are the same. For me an avid student of random things it makes sense, No matter what time or place you can compare the conducts and levels. This comes with the understanding of basic human psychollgy, though reality may be diffrent we hold are seveals to a standers, of conduct and we know this to be true because people break them all the time

Francis Schaeffer summarized his the entire book when he wrote, "To understand where we are in today's world–in our intellectual ideas and in our cultural and political lives–we must trace three lines in history, namely, the philosophic, the scientific, and the religious" (Schaeffer, 2005, p.20). Schaeffer is mainly stating that society is getting away from its Christians roots. He walks through instances in history where society has moved away from the principle teachings of the Bible. He believes that the problems in society are because individuals are ignoring the Christian principles that this world was built upon. He warns that this shift can have a catastrophic effect on how the world will look in the future.

“Religion is a ritualized system of beliefs and practices related to things defined as sacred by an organized community of believers.” (Basirico et.al. 379). Religion is an important element in the society because it influences the way individuals act and think. It has shaped the relationship and bonding among families as well as influenced the decision made in economics and politics. Religion in general has contributed to shape a society and a government structure which will influence the way the individuals under certain governmental structure behave. Sociologists are interested in religion mainly because religious belief is heavily rooted in individuals’ lives and it helps sociologists to interpret human’s actions, expression, and

We all have some experience with religion. Whether our parents are religious, our own religious views, or others who try and convert you to a religion, we have all come in contact with a religion. But what do sociology and religion have to do with each other? The answer to this question is that religion meets sociology in the affects that it has on an individual or society (Schaefer, Richard T, 2009, pg 323).

The first, and most domestically prevalent, circumstance deals with Christianity and how it truly shapes the daily lives of its followers. Before college began, my family and I would attend church every Sunday at 9:30 am. This Sunday could be easily used for sleeping, watching football, working or traveling, but we saw it as the Lord’s day and attended mass. Christianity also shapes the behavior of its followers by integrating honorable priests, meaningful homilies and lessons from biblical scriptures and other ageless writings.
