But don’t judge him by his size, he has always been my Sunday school teacher and a leader in my eyes. During our discussions, I discovered that Roger was a Theory X leader and mostly worked on his own. He never had anyone to boss around but he did lead a group of kids my age towards Christ. Followed up I asked what his vision was in what he did. He replied “My vision is to teach young men and women the wonderful gift of Jesus Christ.” This is one of the reason why I look up to him so much, is because I believe my calling in life is to be a youth pastor, and Roger has been a big influence on my decision making with what I have learned through his teachings.
I want to be a confirmed Catholic because I want to be closer to God. In order to do this I have to know these following things; benefits of the sacraments, why mass is important, practicing prayer & the rosary, magisterium of the church, the value of the church’s teachings through example, following the Ten Commandments and learning from the gospels. In knowing these things I am preparing myself to receive the Holy Spirit and continue my living my life the way God wanted me to. There are many benefits in receiving the seven sacraments. Baptism is the first of the sacraments that you should receive as a baby.
They started preaching the word to all the Guinea people and almost everyone became a Christian. Marilyn also had a church built where they could all sing and worship God. The Guinea people also started their own volleyball team for a sport to play during the day for fun. This is a great book about how two people overcame what seemed impossible odds to spread the Word to a country who had never heard about God. Generation after generation will be blessed by Marilyn and Judy’s hard work, as many people have turned to
My Mother is Church of England and my Father is a catholic so i was bought up to choose my own prefences in faith. i think this has benefited me because i have learned to respect that everybody has different beliefs, if any at all. I think this makes it much easier for me to understand that everyone is different. I show no prejudice at all towards anybody at any time.I like talking to my clients about their prefernces and beliefs and try to help them practice their faith as much as posible. For example I have an elderly man in my care who is a muslim, i shall call him Mr. S. Mr S suffers from demensia and sometime forgets to pray, muslims pray facing towards mecca.
He taught us to be kind and not to judge, to treat our neighbors respectfully. He taught us to turn the other cheek and to have faith in God’s word. Jesus taught us not only to love ourselves but to love mankind as well. Jesus taught us how to walk the road to righteousness and to have faith in God our heavenly father. Jesus addressed many issues during his sermon on the mount.
Beginning in chapter 12 Paul discussed how Christians are to live. In Romans 12:1 Paul urges the Christians: “in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.” Paul continuously reminds the people to live above reproach and renew their minds so that they do not become part of the world. In the entire book of Romans Paul discusses the topic of how we as Christians should live, but Moo makes a great point in our book of how chapter 12 is a more in depth teaching on this matter. Moo states that "All theology is practical, and all practice, if it is truly Christian, is theological. Paul's gospel is deeply theological, but it is also eminently practical.
I’m still expected to do the cooking and cleaning, wearing anything other than a dress to church would be unacceptable. Religion is a major value in my life. Sunday is my family’s day of rest and remembrance, we all gather around the table as a family. I make church attendance a must for my children, and my daughter is always in a dress during attendance. Respect and obedience is also a major value in my family.
Always being a spiritual being, he joined the Catholic Church. With his strong faith, it was easy to admire his comfortable relationships with all types of people. This made his character unforgettable. Pete already had a family of his own, but he considered the students part of his family too. Mister Tarnish influenced me greatly.
She is the most loving, caring, accepting, and hilarious person I have ever met because of that place and those people. She found people to support her through her pain, to help her raise us. My siblings and I didn’t need a father after that, we had a whole church full of fathers, and extra mothers, and even more brothers and sisters. After my father sobered up and begged to be part of our lives again, we added one more man to the pile of fathers that we had. We had great men in our lives to help my mother guide us, and I see now how courageous my father was to come back and attempt to be a father.
Something that all religions have in common is that they all believe they are doing the duties of their one God to better each other in the long-run. They all have a sense of community and with that, it provides them with group cohesion and an identity, this is how rituals and traditions have been passed down for centuries from one generation to the next. During this semester I have learned that a religion can; define you, physically be you and can affect someone's way of living. In the Catholic faith, there are many ways I can relate to the teaching and the effects because I've been taught about it since I started school. Catholics are also known as Christians, who believe that “Jesus Christ” is the Son of God.
