My God

God is so good! He created us with a spirit, and a spirit in his likeness for that matter. In this class we are taking a closer look at our spiritual formation and concepts of spirituality.

In an essence God gave us spiritual disciplines so that we are able grow spiritually. In this paper we are going to go over what a spiritual…

Adam and Eve’s disobedience we still see how God remains faithful. God made a covenant with them that he would save humanity from the damage caused by Satan’s deception. It is shown through the course of the Bible that Mary may be seen as the new Even and Christ as the new Adam, the two that will restore original holiness and justice from original sin. Mary is able to achieve original holiness with special grace from God are she remains sin free. - God prepares the way for Mary. It all began at…

had a primary influence on my discernment of God’s calling in my life to pastoral ministry. What drew me to personally further my knowledge of the great founder and theologian of the Methodist denomination was his life and preaching of “love” and “grace”. John Wesley is known for encouraging people to enter into a personal intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. I felt God’s calling into pastoral ministry as a very young boy who looked on with admiration as I watched my father successfully lead…

World’, where she sings, “I’m going home to live with God.” She is implying that after death she will arrive in Heaven to reside with God. This theme in Spirituals occasionally appears in modern Rap music. It appears in different shapes and forms. We see it appear in Tablo’s rap rendition of ‘Eyes, Nose, Lips’ when he states that his “knees are burning hot but God is cold.” Jackson’s song reflects God in a positive light, while Tablo’s work shows God turning his back on him even as he prays.…

Job makes his final submission, to humbling himself in before God. In the second. We see framework, in which happened in Job liife, is resumed and brought to a close. God 's view was disappointment and a slight anger denounced against the three friends, who are required to expiate their guilt by a sacrifice, and only promised forgiveness if Job will intercede on their behalf. The sacrifice takes place and then a brief account is appended of Job 's after life his prosperity, his reconciliation…

Analytically My Kairos Experience When I was little, the religious life never interested me. I thought it was only for older women who were always kind, never sinned and had a lot of time to go to church for 2 hours every Sunday. Yes, I thought it was 2 hours because when I had to go to church, it felt like I wasted half of my day. Now, I have changed my perspective and see my religion as the best thing that’s ever happened to me! The church is for everyone that wants to listen to the work of…

looking forward to seeing my friends that I grew up and shared my entire childhood with. In other words, I basically came to church to have fun instead of the real purpose that my parents wanted me to. Until one night, my life changed within a blink of an eye. Growing up until now,I have a habit of drinking a glass of milk before I go to bed. Unfortunately, I ran pretty low on milk one night: we decided to go to the gas station across the street. Before we started to go, my dad would give us a…

relationship with God. I wasn’t having faith to Him. I was like forgetting about religion. But I took the decision and I came to Taylor. At the beginning, I was feeling weird and uncomfortable. I thought that I wouldn’t fit in this environment because as the lecture says, “its distinctive should be an education that cultivates the creative and active integration of faith and learning,…

squeaky sound my new, white Mary-Jane shoes made as I walked down the aisle toward the altar. The sleeves of my first communion dress itched my shoulders as I anticipated eating the “body of Christ” bread for the first time. This ceremony, my first holy communion, was the last of my religious activities until high school. My father was a traditional Catholic while my mother was more open and spiritual. After my communion I realized I resonated more with my mother’s beliefs than my father’s. My…

When Cain asks the question “ Am I my Brother’s Keeper?”, God doesn’t answer him. I see this lack of answer as a motivation for Cain to explore it for himself. He wants Cain to reveal his own emotions and factors that caused him to kill Abel, and to expand upon it. When Cain gets driven from the land, he states: “ My punishment is more than I can bear”. I perceive this as there is too much freedom for him, that there is restraint in freedom, Cain doesn’t know what to do with all the freedom he…
