Liturgical prayer is the official prayer of the church. Devotional is any other form of prayer. We learned about the relationship of God. God is a trinity made up of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is the creator. The son is the redeemer. And the Holy Spirit is made up by the love between the Father and the Son. God is described as “I am who am” which means that God is greater that anything and we cannot comprehend his holiness. There are two forms of prayers ordinary and extraordinary. Ordinary is both liturgical and devotional prayer. Extraordinary form of prayers are visions and dreams inspired by

    Although many protestant religions are known for their improvised prayer, the Jewish tradition includes some unrehearsed prayer as well. The major difference between Jewish and Christian prayer is the presence of the Holy Spirit and Jesus in Christian prayer. However, this makes sense since Jews only use the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, as their holy scripture, and do not believe in the Holy…

The second implication is that spiritually sensitive counselors may have to teach some of their clients about prayer, which can be done by giving the clients prayer homework…

    Introduction Evangelist Latrice Ryan is one of many black women preachers within Pentecostalism, a religious tradition that traces its origins to the Azusa Street Revival of 1906. The Revival is noted for its interracial attendance with dominant narratives suggesting that historically Pentecostalism has valued both racial and gender egalitarianism (Alexander and Young 2009). Thus, scholarship focused on Pentecostalism typically hones in on the egalitarian aspect of this religious tradition, complicating the validity of this sentiment. As research from feminist religious scholar Lisa Stephenson demonstrates that early twentieth century Pentecostal publications and teachings promoted biblical notions of the inferiority of women to men. Yet, others…

I had gone to the Bible School ever since I was seven but I aged out and decided to become a volunteer. At the Vacation Bible School, the service I preformed was to help the kids and take them to their activities as well as introduce them to Christ. Before the Bible School started, I was nervous and excited to talk to 11 and 12 years old about Christ.…

    I think I've learned many different things from the readings and the power points that differ from what I initially thought about each of the three monotheistic religions we talked about, and some that remain in line with what I believed or had heard about each of these three religions. I would like to first talk about christianity, I learned a lot about christianity in these last few weeks, things that I,ve never heard of even though I am a christian my self, I am a devoted roman catholic and I myself had a lot of misconceptions about my own religion, just imagine how it went with the other two of the monotheistic religions we talked about in class. For example I had no clue that in the begining of christianity christian had been persecuted, I had no idea I guess I had the common misconseption that most christians have that christianity emerged as apopular religion that grew fast and strong without any oposition.…

    Before deciding to attend CTS, my primary goal was to first learn the Bible, become a minister and teach the Bible to others. I marvel at clergy that quote scriptures from their mouths without looking first hand and anticipate the day when I can do the same. The Bible contains answers to everyday issues (the good, the bad and the ugly) and helps us to learn about theology and ourselves. For this reason, I stand more excited about taking this class as opposed to many of my other classes. By learning the Bible my life would be enhanced and guided in the direction initially intended by the Lord.…

    Yet, what our early fathers seemed to miss is the fact that prayer is personal. The references were given to encourage prayer. A Christian’s prayer life is totally dependent upon the relationship that one has in Christ. This is to say that each person’s prayer life will be different. This is why the men and women of the Bible had different times and schedules when it came to prayer.…
