My personal faith and beliefs will contribute to Liberty's mission by allowing me to be someone who seeks to live a Christ-centered life and strives to be in constant improvement and learning.

I believe in God, in salvation through Jesus Christ, and in the Bible as God's inspired word, and this affects my life by shaping my values and prompting me to live in a way that conforms to what God wants from me, seeking to act in honesty, faithfulness and integrity.

Because of this: how it allows me to be a Godcentered leader

    What my husband's advancement to Chief Petty Officer means to me? The answer of that question could be 10 pages long or I could just resume what I feel in one word, "extremely proud", well I guess two words. I met Christian 16 years ago, he was full of energy, funny, and he had the ability to turn any sad or bad situation into a joke making everybody laugh; that is what make me fell in love with him.

    Religious Response I have struggled with stories from the news of Catholic priests embroiled in child molestations and questioned my involvement or associating myself with an institution that not only denies some of the accusations but also hides the facts from the public. I sometimes ignore the stories thinking that hatred towards these evil people will stress me out to the point where I will leave the church completely for the lack of trust and deceptive tactics played on the congregation. What kind of person does this acts? What goes through their devious minds as they continue to practice their rituals and preach the gospel?…

    First of all, thank you for your insightful post about the Lutheran faith. This is a faith that is similar to the Roman Catholic beliefs. One similarity these two religions share is the sacrifice of praise and affirm that the bread and wine are the body and blood of Christ. Furthermore, the Catholic believe that there is God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit in one religious figure. According to Cashwell and Young (2011), the lord has a view of three individuals, such as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.…

    Faith Integration and Social Work There has long been a debate as to whether Christianity can be integrated into Social Work practice. As social workers, we are taught that faith is a topic that should not be discussed in treatment with clients and that we need to keep our values, biases and religion away from our work. The code of ethics that was established helps to keep us accountable for our actions and assists in making decisions. I do believe that it is possible to have both faith and a good social work practice successfully. In order to be successful at integrating the two, the social worker must make sure to maintain the values and ethics of the profession and always keep the clients best interest in mind.…

    Christian religious tradition (or Christianity) has long been thought of as a set of dogmas, sacraments and moral attitudes linked with a belief and reverence in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as captured in the stores of the Bible. Within Biblical gospels one find descriptions of the many miracles Jesus Christ bestowed upon mankind, stories that became fundamental to Christian belief, where the faithful profess to the genuine nature of these stories as factual truths. Given the structure of the Christian religious traditions, Christian’s belief in miracles, expressions of divine intervention and the adherence to teachings, practices, and rituals associated with the faith with an established heritage and long history, many scholars…
