Biblical Worldview Essay
Doctrine is the foundation on which faith is built. Belief in doctrine means that I know that everything created by God is sacred and is necessary in establishing my biblical truth. That belief in Christ means that I know Him, what He has done, and what He has promised. It is also important for me to know and live my own biblical truth of who I am and what I believe as it will determine where I spend eternity. If I follow and believe in the Christian doctrine, the Christ in me will be developed in such a way that my works will be pleasing to Him. 1 Timothy 4:16 (KJV) speaks to this, “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in

If I am to believe that “whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men,” Colossians 3:23 (KJV), then the work I do is an essential part of my participation in Christ himself. Over seventeen years ago, I was led to homeschool my children using a Christian-based curriculum. I have put all of my energy and love into doing so while continuing to work diligently and tirelessly to meet the needs of my family and home; volunteering as much of my time to my church and community as possible The experience of homeschooling my children has given me the opportunity to contribute to sanctification. In sharing and living out my faith with them, I know God even more and have a deeper understanding of His Word. It is my desire to continue to be a living sacrifice to God knowing that I will only be perfected upon His return. Now that my children are getting older and my role in their life is changing, so has my calling. Through prayer and reflection, I have been guided to return to college and pursue a degree in healthcare …show more content…
A key component of good leadership is effective communication. It is my desire to communicate in a way that honors God’s will. I must endeavor to see Christ in everyone, especially in those people and situations where it is most difficult to find Him. Staying connected to God, asking for insight and wisdom, spending time in meditation, reading the Bible, and having fellowship often with other that share my Christian faith, will keep me focused and better able to handle these challenges. I am thoroughly committed in continuing to follow God’s will in everything I do. The apostle Paul spoke that Christians should do all their work as unto the Lord. Leading healthcare workers requires that every task I do in service to Him will help to strengthen and create a stronger work ethic. Genesis 1:28 (KJV) says, “And God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” God created us in His image and gave us authority over His creation. My vocation will play a necessary part and be the way in which I participate in God’s plan for this world. This will also allow a way for me to provide for and be of service to my family, church,

    We are all called to fill multiple roles during our life. In chapters 5-8 of God at Work, Veith (2002) explains the importance of each of these vocations and how they intermix with each other. In looking at each of these, it is important to note that one vocation does not carry more power than another. Veith explains how God works through us in each of the vocations of worker, family member, citizen, and church member to love and serve our neighbor.…

    We must serve our awesome God. When God came to earth as a man, Jesus, he didn’t just enjoy it, he worked, he served others. There are so many examples in the Bible of serving others. 1 Peter 4:10, Matthew 20:28, Proverbs 11:25, 1 Corinthians 9:19. My favorite two verses that explain servantship so well are Acts 20:35, “....…

    Week Three Devotional God is in the people business and the command is simple; go, baptize, and teach. Why? Because Jesus, being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God, said so. The slave is not greater than the Master and as His bond servants, our obedience is not optional but is a requirement. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God” (Rom 10:17 KJV). It seems that as we get older we become our hearing diminishes.…

    In relationship to that, we should help the poor and serving with our fruits from our labor of work. When God has blessed us with talents, gift, and financial gain we should not keep all to ourselves. However, sharing these fruits and seeking ways to help our community, or volunteering at a local boys or girls club. I probably feel this way because Christ comes first in my daily life. Spending time with him is my first priority each day.…

    I utilize my callings to provide a living and a Christian experience for my family. By putting my callings into actions I am following one of God’s covenants as Genesis 1:28 New Living Translation (NLT) say, “Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” I believe that God covenant still exists in this world today because there are many people who still have “faith” including myself and my family.…

    A human being is a product of God and a product of love (Penney, 2007). According to Christianity, any person is brought to this world not for any other purpose than to bring value to God and spread the word about him. Thus, Christians are obligated to do good for the world. In addition, a person is brought to this world to help other people, as well as learn how to be compassionate and…

    If someone, whom was not familiar with my profession or my worldview, asked me how I integrate my worldview/faith within my profession, the best advice that I can give them is to take every aspect of life one day at a time. That is basically the emphasis of the the faith and learning foundation…that in order for everything to fall into place within our lives, we (as Christians) must be able to have the patience along with our faith in order to learn how to have an substantial relationship with God, our coworkers, and also within ourselves. I would also make it very clear that both work together in order for one to become fully established in both their profession and their relationship with God. Therefore, faith and learning cannot work alone…

    The job of a principal in any academic setting is a monumental task as students, curriculum, parents, teachers, faculty, legal issues, etc., all vie for guidance and attention. But I believe that the job of a Catholic school leader entails far more because I believe the profession of Catholic school leader is a vocation rooted in Christ. My role as a Catholic school principal is one of managerial leader, educational leader and most importantly as spiritual leader. It is my job to nurture a faith community that is built with relational trust and where my school can be transformed into a sacred place (Sergiovanni, 2015, p.12).…

    The believer now has the responsibility to serve others within the community of faith. The perfect example of true servant-hood is Christ Himself. He lived a life free from enslaving lusts and instead chose to be a slave to the needs of others. The Holy Spirit is the power behind the believer’s ability to serve and bear fruit. As believers serve one another by being controlled by the Spirit, it will then effect the lives of the other believers, causing them to bear fruit in their own lives.…

    Although it is not necessary to do good work, it is necessary to love others as Jesus would. The best way to love people is to serve them, through any means. God has called His people to act as Jesus would, every person has their own calling specific to them as to what they excel at in life. Nevertheless, God made his people loving and hopeful and kind and it is the job of Christians to follow this path, as many have done in the past, to love and serve. Not for their own benefit, but to serve their God, though kindness and…
