The Nature of God and the Trinity begins for the human race with the being of creation. For Christians this starts with the Bible chapter of Genesis. Many people in this world though do not know or understand the concept of God and his nature and cannot see how God becomes three different entities all in one; The Father, The Son, and Holy Spirit making the trinity. In theory by reading the word of God, one can begin to understand the application in the nature of God. However, still may not begin…

Martin Luther was a monk in the Holy Roman Empire. Luther had paved the way to question the church, which eventually led to the big conflict with the Pope. Martin Luther thinks that the church it is not a justice place to worship God any more, since the churches are corrupted and powerful. Martin Luther have did some harm and support through his challenge of the Catholic Church, but at the end he did more harm through his challenge of the Catholic Church, he inspired violent revolt, he…

It is amazing how we preach the word of God and yet not preach Christian. I found out that Christian preaching has to involve Christ. If Christ is not part of the message, then your message is not Christian. We must keep Christ in our message because without him we can’t see God. In my reading from Dr. Gardener C. Taylor, I understand now that it is important to keep our preaching Christian. He talked about the Holy Ghost and the responsibility of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is to lead,…

weak and then was strengthened. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always went to a private institute for my education. I was born and raised as a Christian and became a part of the Catholic church in 4th grade at St. Finbar School. I never took Christianity seriously when it came to being a Christian. Going on retreats, going to service, praising the Lord, and going to bible study small groups did not help strengthen my faith nor did it help me keep my faith. Back when I was in 5th grade, a…

As Christians, we often hear people refer to something as, “the popular worldview,” but what does that even mean? What does the term worldview refer to? According to the Miriam-Webster’s Dictionary, a worldview is, “the way someone thinks about the world.” Although that may be the dictionary definition, a worldview is more than one person’s view. A worldview, “is an overall concept of the world and our part in it” (Hassenpflug page 88). A Christian worldview has the authority of God as its…

College never seemed like a possibility for me. However, God recently orchestrated events in my life that have sparked a desire for knowledge and academic accomplishment. I began working at Valley Christian Elementary School in the fall of 2014. To work in a Christian environment has been a blessing and a life changing experience. I work side by side with educated Christian men and women who work tirelessly and faithfully to support the mission “In everything God is preeminent”. This dedication…

Describe: Stained glass windows are colored glass crafted and arranged to form patterns or pictures and often have painted details and a yellow stain. Stained glass windows are a traditional form of painting that began over 1000 years ago and are essentially made the same way today. The earliest form of stained glass windows originate in Europe, 6th century, and have adorned churches for hundreds of years being used to aid in devotion and to instruct (O 'Doherty, 2010). They are especially…

Worship is defined as “The feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.” Before this course I always thought it was just the slow songs at church that always came before the sermon, I now understand It to be a way of life. King David was an incredible symbol of worship both in his time and ours, and is particularly significant in how we should view worship. The way that we worship, as Pentecostal Christians as apposed to Anglican Christians is very different as they are very…

Introduction Partaking in Holy Communion is an important part of being a Christian as is it is a practice that Jesus himself sets up in the New Testament and the apostle Paul gives specific teaching around. Many denominations have different traditions and practices when partaking in Holy Communion or Eucharist. Holy communion is most commonly experienced in three settings; individually, in a small group and corporately. This discipline celebrates the past, future and present and connects us with…

What 's your point? All baptisms are not from above. Baptism is essential to salvation, it is NOT optional. Jesus said do it, therefore it is required for one to be saved. When a sinner is converted to Christianity, he is not only following the commandment to be baptized, but he is being baptized into the doctrine of Christ, that is, doing what is commanded regarding the Christian-to-Christian relationships, husband and wife relationship, Christian-to-non-Christian…
