My mother and my boyfriend). I’m an outcast or an outlaw for my knowledge and heart makes me different from my age. I’ve had to be a grown up at a young age, due to many experience. When I speak to an adult, I speak as if I were an old soul or an old person who has lived life. To be honest, I’d love to believe that I am a fighter of God, I don’t know if I have answered the question, but, I am a survivor, a warrior, a woman who speaks when is necessary.

    I have always wondered why God demands our worship. God, who is self-sufficient, does not need the praise of humans. He created people not because He needed them, but because He wanted to create something in His own image to share in the joy of His creation. What I never understood until now is the meaning of praise. Praise “not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment” of God (Piper, p 249).…

    In order to believe the key doctrines of God, we first must believe that He exist? In addition to asking the previous question, we then must ask, “Which God do we believe in?” As Case (2008, p. 9) presents this question, Christians need to be able to provide a truthful answer, because the Bible tells us in Matthew 6:24 (New International Version), “No one can serve two masters.” Therefore, as a body of believers, we need to reflect on these questions, in order to be able to come up with a precise answer, and to make sure we are not trying to serve God and Satan at the same time.…

    Part A- three important points that stood out to you in the article. As I was reading this article, I came across three concepts that caught my eye as I was reading. The first concept that stood out to me in the article was that the author called God a designer- creator of the world. Even though I believe God created a perfect world for us to live in, I never pictured him and or categorized him as a designer of the world. I just labeled him as a savior that protects and forgives others, a person that keeps us save.. a caregiver.…

    Authenticity with God is the cornerstone for all other relationships a person can engage in, whether it be with family, spouses, friends, or oneself. However, the concept of this includes the element of doubt, with the main focus of this emphasized on who God is. The role God plays in a person’s life, including an absentee one, will shape one’s expectations of his or herself and others throughout existing relationships. The relevance of doubt in correlation with God seems like an oxymoron to some people.…

    The one verse I will forever live by is Psalm 143:8, “Let the morning bring the word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life”. This verse tells me that I do not need to fear about singing in front people, or fear befriending people, or fear leading others, or fear anything in this world because the moment I gave my heart to God, He continually held onto it with such a delicacy. He knows that I trust and have faith in Him, and likewise, I know He trusts and has faith in me. Many people do not think about God having faith and trust in them, but He does.…

    The Love of God God is the creator of all life and he is the highest of all powers, he embodies all ‘persons’ (The Father, The Son, and The Spirit). Although we cannot be as him, we should try to follow his guidance. In this world, it is easy to get wrapped in earthly things. We are humans, and many of times we fail by trying to hold a certain status, gain certain materialistic possessions, and cause great emotional/physical harm to one another. In my beliefs, that is not the way one should live.…

    The Bible may be the greatest book that was ever written: containing about forty authors, with five of those authors being apostles of Jesus Christ have written the gospel according to each’s own telling. This great book is the foundation of Christianity; although there are many different branches of Christianity the Bible is, or at least should be the foundation of the many branches of Christianity. As a Christian the Bible guides, and gives us power and strength in The Lord. Everyone should read the Bible; for it teaches and gives us the ability to sort out the good from evil and live our life according to the way that God and Christ have taught others in the past. I don’t where I would be without such a book; it has guided me, taught me well, and through Christ and God, it has given me peace and happiness that I could never be replaced by nothing of this world we live in today.…
