Believe

Spiritual disciplines are something that take a lot of work, they are things that don’t always come easy, and they often require practice to develop. As a believer, it is easy to just assume the role of a mediocre Christian who often overlooks spiritual growth, thinking that going to church every Sunday is enough to effectively grow in ones walk with Christ. Through study, it becomes obvious that Sunday Christianity is not enough, it takes work as a Christian to truly change and grow, and to…

truth or realness of something” - Wikipedia. Is there really a god or is it just another fictional character that we are instilled to believe in like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny. Why is it that we are told there is only one god but other countries can believe in more then one? I can say that, I am not a true believer of god but I do believe that there is a higher being. Over the past twenty-seven years, I was never brought up as a spiritual child. My parents would…

judged by God” (“God’s Not Dead”). If you have faith in something, even if it cannot be see, you will never be alone. Religions and higher beings of all kinds can help almost anyone have courage and reliance again. Because of personal experience, I believe in the untouchable. Whenever I hear, someone say, “If you cannot see it, hear it, feel it, it is not real.” All I can do is remember the Polar Express. When Tom Hanks, the actor who played the conductor, says, “Sometimes the most real things…

these traits turned out to be much more limited than I had initially thought because reading about each trait revealed a much more in depth perception on the kind of person these assets describe. First, consistency defines a person who essentially believes in the equal treatment of all people no matter their station in life, praising those who deserve to be recognized. This relates to the quality harmony because conflict is held to a minimum and the overall goal is to get along with others, no…

There can be many themes that go along with this book, but, the one theme that made most sense to me is to believe and be confident in yourself. Critics often argue, that the book Stolen Children is just a book about kids that get stolen and then returned back to their families. Admittedly, Stolen Children is about kids that get stolen and then returned back to…

to show modesty and allow the clients to take control. Additionally, I believe that I was able to remain accountable to both Leigh and Sam throughout the sessions, by being present during our sessions, by critically reflecting, and by utilizing the basic verbal skills of counselling. Throughout the sessions I focused on doing proper reflection, paraphrases, and often asked for clarifications (Hackney & Cormier, 2013). I believe that this allowed me to remain accountable to my clients and…

several points of his view confused me as well as some of them enlightened me. As I moved on to Gendler 's article, I found her way of explaining herself somehow more reader-friendly and hence more understandable. Consequently, this made me truly believe that Gendler 's points of view made more sense than Mele 's, I was non-intentionally self-deceiving myself. As it turns out, the next class I find myself putting some of Gendler 's points of view under the microscope because of my fellow peers…

will be. This is something people relate to daily and we need this to come to an end. Bravery that is portrayed in the book is relevant to many different aspects we use in our day to day lives. As we go through our days, we stand up for something we believe in. That is bravery. If there is one thing we can take away from Lucy’s memoir, it is that we should never keep things wrapped up inside and just open up to people we trust or people who can relate. Look back at the quote on page 150, she has…

What is a belief ? How do you know if you believe in something ? Is it a feeling, a thought, or is it relatable? What is happiness? How do you know that you are happy? What makes you happy, is it sports, food, or friends? Do you believe that people deserve at least a chance to be happy? I think everybody deserves a chance for happiness. No matter what other people think. Just one chance is all that a person needs, and that one chance can change a person’s life for the better. A chance to be…

people are going down each and every year? To me it is kind of a weird thought. You and I might be thinking why is that. it is because every year the Christian percentage of people are getting lower and lower. Statistics show that the people who believe went from a 71% in 2007 to 63% in 2014. In seven years that’s a pretty drastic change in religion. The numbers prove it. A key term used from Pew Research was declining Religiosity meaning that “the percentage of American adults who are highly…
