Three Fold Cord Research Paper

Improved Essays
The three-fold cord is not easily broken and I agree it is prayer ,fasting,and the study of the word.I think the church have heard enough preaching it about time we practice the word. We have neglected meditation and prayer but Jesus often goes to the quiet place to meditate and pray. I believe in studying Greek and Hebrew to gain an understanding of the word but that cannot take the place of prayer, fast and meditation. The is tremendous power in prayer, but the modern Church have relegated prayer in the background no wonder the church is not moving in the power of

    Recently, if not in the last twenty years, several evangelical Christians have begun to convert to a more traditional aspect of Christianity, few have seemed to notice the thread connecting all these conversions to be a need for deeper meaning in worship. Thomas Howard's book Evangelical Is Not Enough: Worship of God in Liturgy and Sacrament speaks to those longing as well as how to satisfy them through the liturgy. Tom Howard's whole aim is to direct the reader to understand that every church needs to identify its roots and appreciate the two-thousand year old history behind communion. Furthermore he does an excellent job in breathing life into doctrines and practices of both the evangelical and catholic world, that many of us lose the sight…

    “Christology for the New Millennium” First, “Christology is the theological study devoted to answering two main questions: Who is Jesus? (the question of his identify) also What is the nature and significance of what Jesus accomplished in the incarnation? (the question of his work). Now, the meaning of Millennium refers to the thousand-year reign, to anticipate that the new millennium will occur at some future time (Grenz 25, 79). With the meaning of both words in mind, Christology for the New Millennium seems to practice Christ in everyday life which be covered later in this paper.…

    The Christian faith is an interwoven tapestry of beliefs and practices, culminating to the penultimate goal of being seated at the right hand of the father. Conversely, the solidification of God’s eternal revelation to man, through the sending of his son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit can only remain prominent in the lives of Christians through participation in liturgy (CCC50).…

    Worship: A Universal Discipline Randy Mayfield, a worship leader and missions pastor at Central Presbyterian Church, explains that “Worship is not just the music part but worship is who we are.” This idea may seem contrary because Mr. Mayfield’s job consists of leading musical worship. However, it is true that the spiritual discipline of worship is much more than music or singing because with this interpretation worship would be a divisive tool, done only by a select group of people. Oftentimes, the spiritual discipline of worship is seen as a performance by those with musical talents and abilities but worship actually unites Christians through a similar emotional response to God’s redemptive grace. Worship means more than half-hearted singing…

    Chapter six of Practicing Christian Doctrine, by Beth Felker Jones, chiefly discusses Christology and the various heresies that have surrounded it over the years. Christology, which is the study of Christ, helps one to learn more about Jesus and his identity and how to live a good Christian life by forming a relationship with the Lord. In order for Christology to work, the person of Jesus must be known and a major idea discussed in this novel is homoousios, Jesus is full and truly God. Two other important characteristics of God found in this chapter are immutability¬¬ and impassibility. Immutability means that God is unchanging and impassibility states that He is never overwhelmed by emotion.…

    One of the main themes as mentioned in the documents is on pray without ceasing as this is what Paul commands in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to “pray without ceasing” (King James Version).

    Hope In The Old Testament

    In Christianity, the foundations of hope and prayer are created through biblical theology and full surrender. Hope requires the believer to be an active, but patient, participant in their environment all the while living for the glory of God. Prayer affirms the believer’s conviction towards communicating with God. “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12, English Standard Version). Therefore, both hope and prayer are mutually inclusive as one cannot happen without the other through theological, biblical and practical applications.…
