Olivet's Christian emphasis appeals to me because it provides opportunities to socialize with other believers, explore my faith, fortify my beliefs, and discover my future in Christ. Born and raised in a Christian home, I have always been in Christian atmospheres. Whether Sunday services, youth group, christian school, or just being surrounded by my fellow believers, Christ has always been a big part of my life. As someone who flourishes in social situations and loves being around people and sharing my opinions, I look forward to the Christian atmosphere and social opportunities that Olivet provides.

    Analysis Of Simply Christian By N. T. Wright

    The book Simply Christian by N.T. Wright there are three main parts, “Echoes of a Voice”, “Staring at the Sun”, and “Reflecting the Image”. In part 1, “Echoes of a Voice”, he isolates four voices: the longing for justice, the thirst for spirituality, the craving for relationships, and the attraction of beauty each of which point the human soul toward God. He focuses on our longing for justice first. He doesn’t understand how on one hand we all have the same sense that justice exists but on the other hand after millennia of humans existing we can’t get any closer to it than the ancients did.…

    How Northwest Christian Changed My Life

    An experience that changed my life forever was coming to Northwest Christian for high school. Before I attended Northwest I spent all of elementary school and middle school at Rancho Solano. Although my time there was great, it was taught in a strictly academic worldview. Then during my eighth grade year, I made the decision to enroll in Boulder Creek High School. I began to get nervous because of the change in size, but then I started to embrace the idea of change.…

    Campus Preachers Push Limits Analysis

    “Campus Preachers Push Limits” Critique People—especially college students—will always have conflicting views about the campus preachers and whether or not one agrees with them. The true question is if they cross a line. Do the campus preachers ever enter into a territory that invokes violence? If so, does that mean they should still be protected by the first amendment? This is a very important thing that Amy Mariani, a sophomore who is majoring mass communication, brings up in her article “Campus Preachers Push Limits.”…

    Anglicanism In Christianity

    Anglicanism is one of the many branches within Christianity that is tied together by similar beliefs, features of worship and church structure. Christianity is a religion which incorporates a range of denominations and faith groups, including Anglicanism; a tradition joined to Christianity consisting of ‘The Church of England’, which claims to be both reformed and Catholic following parallel beliefs to Christianity, which are evident throughout its worships and church services. The Church of England operates openly and independently around the world, however, with them all following and accepting the creed statement: ‘…a fellowship within One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of those duly constituted dioceses, provinces or regional Churches…

    I knew before I applied to Liberty University that I wanted to be a part of the Honors Program. After attending a question and answer session regarding the program last year, the Honors Program seemed to be a place where I could challenge myself in my courses and make life-long friends along the way.

One of the greatest benefits I hope to gain from the Honors Program at Liberty University is an excellent education that aligns with my faith.…

    Christianity During The Reformation Essay

    During the Reformation, Catholics and Protestants were opposed on several fundamental issues regarding the Christian faith. These disagreements led to one of the most sweeping changes to occur within Christianity since Constantine. The two sides differed significantly in their understanding and interpretation of the Scripture, and of the Christian life. The main points of contention were regarding the understanding of the concepts of Sola Gratia (grace alone), Sola Fide (faith alone), and Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone). The struggle between the Protestant and Catholic understandings of these matters split the church and redirected Christianity forever.…

    Support Group Observation

    In attempt to develop range in my observation of support groups, I once again found myself returning to an old stomping ground. Throughout my years in high school, I dedicated several hours a week to my local church in a growth group for high school girls. Although I currently experience mixed emotions with religion, I recalled how influential it was during my teenaged years to have such support, convincing me to return to observe a group to identify ways in why it was so helpful for me during difficult moments in my life. Luckily, my previous growth group leader was still leading groups and graciously accepted my request to be a guest that following week. Meeting once a week, the purpose of these groups was to discuss the Bible and life issues, but based on personal experience, these groups offered much more than a few life lectures.…

    Coptic Community Reflective Essay

    Because I am a Coptic Orthodox Christian, my religion and culture have always been intertwined. However, I used to view my education as apart from them, as there was only one other Copt in my high school and there were none in my elementary or middle school. When I began this semester at NJIT, I realized that I had been missing something for the past thirteen years of my schooling. In just a matter of weeks, I found myself at home within the Coptic community here. I have recognized a few of its main purposes, all of which are evident in the modes and styles of communication: to develop a strong support network, to cultivate a sense of family, and to ease the transition for new students.…

    My Experience At True Bible

    My overall experience at True Bible was one that I will always remember and keep close to my heart. I have never really exposed myself to people who are in a different position in their lives than I have been in. At my time at the church it has opened my eyes to see that the word of the lord can have different meanings for all of us. And those who are really struggling are doing their hardest to get out of the situation they are in by following the word and advice of God. Not only is the church a spiritual place, but also a community of friends and family, advisors, and counsel to help one find their way.…

    Constantine And Christianity: The Conversion Of Christianity In Rome

    In AD 64, a large fire spread through Rome and nearly destroyed it, crippling its economy and forcing many citizens to flee. Nero, who is often accused of “fiddling while Rome burned,” irresponsibly stood by as much of Rome was consumed. Now in a difficult position, he blamed Christian arsonists. This led to a large, state-sanctioned killing of Christians that continued, on-and-off depending on various historical events and periods of peace, to AD 313, when Constantine ended it with the Edict of Milan. One of the supporters of this persecution was Emperor Diocletian.…

    The Heresy Of Orthodoxy Summary

    In today’s cultural climate, pluralism and perspectivalism reign (Kӧstenberger & Kruger, p. 16). The reliance on personal experience has caused traditional thought to be challenged. An overlying paradigm of diversity (p. 18) has compelled “true” orthodoxy to be challenged, and as a result, heresy is seen as the “new orthodoxy” (p. 16,). In The Heresy of Orthodoxy, Kӧstenberger and Kruger (K2) provide a fair examination of the Bauer thesis which lays its foundation on the major urban centers of the first and early second centuries. The Bauer thesis, as popularized by Ehrman, argues that diversity – not unification - was present in early Christianity; “heresy preceded orthodoxy” (p. 17).…
