American Christians

God enlightens Christians to the attributes, actions, and roles of God in association with the theological perspectives and the American culture. This connection produces a variety of issues when it comes to understanding God from a classic and modern discussion, the Trinity, and God in relation to the creation and preservation of the universe. From my estimation and based on my experience in this class, the top three areas relating to the doctrine of God that evangelical Christians need to address

American Christians are coming together to pray for Syrian refugees who are feeling conflict in their country which began about five years ago in early spring of 2011. Christians from different denominations are uniting under a prayer campaign #prayforrefugees to pray that they receive the love of God and are protected on their journey. Prayers will also be offered for brothers and sisters in Christ who are caring for refugee communities, so that they could help them better and ease the pain of

that many people still value to this day. Despite being Protestant, Goldwater’s platform took a much more conservative approach. This ended up backfiring on him, however, as many Christian publications stated that they opposed Goldwater’s policies. He was further stigmatized by the religious publication The Christian Century as turning his patriotic rhetoric into “religious nationalism.” To make matters worse for Goldwater, in October of 1964, less than a month before the general election, 725 Episcopalian

Some Christians today look at the Old Testament law as an archaic piece of literature that should only be read under duress. This is not the case, the OT law is highly relevant because it is there that God reveals what a proper relationship with him looks like. Paul himself says in 2 Timothy “all scripture is useful”, therefore the Old Testament law is essential to a Christian relationship with God, but how should Christians in today’s culture and times interact with the Old Testament Law and

Christian Science is an idealistic and most radical form of transcendental religiosity. The study of Christian Science teaches a feeling of understanding of God's goodness and the differences between good and evil, life and death.

While Pastor Saeed Abedini witnessed some of the Christian prisoners in Iran abandon their faith in exchange of a better situation, there were also others who stood firm and refused to convert and carried on with their ministry. The pastor, who is an American citizen, said those who caved in were weakened by the difficulties the experienced in jail, the Christian Post reports. In

Century What is the church? Many Christians today think of the church as the building where they go to worship and to only be thought about on Sundays; however, this is an all too common misperception. In actuality the church is the whole body of believers whose main purpose is to grow in their walk with Jesus Christ. The early church, the church of the first century, lived this out in the most literal sense. While both the early church and the modern American church share the same core beliefs

The second Great Awakening, Immigration, and Christian Fundamentalism all played large parts in the shaping of American religious, political, and social life. However, the revivals of the second Great Awakening were the major event the allowed for the assimilation of immigrants and the rise of the Fundamentalist through its democratizing of religion and inclusive of all Americans. The revivals of the second great awakening reaching out to the ordinary people rather than the elite of society, and

Growing up in a conservative Christian church, I was taught that the gospel was one, complete, and indestructible whole — particularly as it applied to human sexuality. But it’s not that simple. The idea that is still taught in some churches today is that the Christian sexual ethic came to earth fully formed, straight from heaven, about 2,000 years ago. Throughout all that time, there was exactly one way for Christians to express their sexuality — by staying abstinent until they got married to a

As the American public reels back and forth from the winds of political posturing and fundamental change, it seems that the values of our Christian faith are continually under attack or being disregarded in the public arena. There seems to be an underlying movement to remove Christianity from the eye of the public and an assault to marginalize Christian beliefs in order to change the mind of our nation to view Christianity as an antiquated religion that has no necessary reason to be part of the
