(now Poland). From 1935 to 1937 Dietrich Bonhoeffer served as pastor, administrator, and teacher at an underground seminary there. He insisted that if seminarians were to learn about and lead within the Christian community, they must also enter into and learn the practical disciplines of the Christian faith in community. This led to the formation of a community house‖ where those involved in seminary education would share life together. Here, Bonhoeffer put into practice the conviction that the…

Learning to live a Christian life is one thing, but living out what we have learned is another story. As Christians, I think we have a greater responsibility because we know how the world should look, and we need to step up and lead the people around us. In order to share the gospel with others, we have to take a look at what God is calling us to do. Leading others consists of knowing what the Christian life looks like, sharing that with others, and staying faithful and truthful in what we say…

Now as Christian people however, it should be easy for us too. But, after…

1. Share your observations and impressions of the book and Lewis’s argument. The book "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis offers an insight into the Christian world that I, and many other teenagers and even adults, probably have never even thought about or considered. When first reading the book I was frustrated with C.S. Lewis. The way he explained things made me feel as if he was trying to reach out to me, and any other reader, as if we were completely clueless to Christianity. But, as I…

In Matthew’s Gospel, specifically in Chapter 7, we can see one of the most fundamental principles of Christianity being shared. This Gospel, intended for early Christians from the first centuries, emphasizes on the topic of judging others. Its purpose at the time, was to bring a new point of view about judging other people that may share our same flaws. The main concept in this chapter is not to judge others, so that you will not be judged. In the excerpt, the main example is: ‘’why do you look…

beginning of Lutheranism, there has been great strife and conflict between the Christian church (primarily the Lutherans and Catholics). This strife often gets in the way of the true goal of Christianity (to bring those who do not believe in the gospel message to Christ). The Catholics and the Lutherans are different denominations of the same religion of Christianity. Many people that are not members of either denomination can confuse the two. While both are similar in some ways they also have…
