Christian vocation is a life calling from God, relating to work, personal growth, career and often marriage. All baptised Christian are called to live a vocation of priest, prophet and king, three anointed figures in the Old Testament. Jesus lived as an example of all three offices, his very name, ‘Messiah’, meaning the ‘anointed’ one. In living a priestly life, Christians are required to make sacrifices and walk in fellowship with God. Jesus fulfilled both these tasks, further acting as the…

Creative Response Gracious, by definition gracious means showing divine grace. Grace by the Christian definition means the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings. And lastly, Tempest by definition. A wild, windy, and vicious storm. This gives me chills because God has such a wild and vicious love for us. My favorite worship song ‘Gracious Tempest’ by Hillsong Worship reminds me so greatly of the beautiful relationship we…

This dream caused Paul to become somewhat of the manager and public relations director for Christianity, allowing the growth of the faith. UCLA…

The God who wasn't there is a strong siding atheistic viewpoint. The man who is talking attended a Christian school in high school and has felt lied to his whole life about Jesus Christ and the Bible actually having meaning. He takes scripture out of the Bible and twists verses to make it sound bad. He isn't the first person and won't be the last to twist scripture. He is able to twist certain verses into what he wants them to mean. For example he used Matthew 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, any…

I was born and raised in a Christian environment and as a believer in God. I was homeschooled my whole life up until freshman year of high school where I moved on to attend a private Christian academy. Being homeschooled helped prepare me to assert my faith for the “real world” where it would be assessed.
