Romans and Christian Worldview Bible 425-B05 3/1/2015 Because of Paul, the book of Romans teaches us about so many aspects of the Christian life. Paul’s letter was not meant to be a systematic theology, but rather a letter presentation of the Gospel. The book of Romans covers a wide variety of topics that are essential for followers of Christ to live by. The topics creation, sin, salvation, eschatology, ethics, and theology are the key points found in Paul’s letter, and understanding each is key to the growth of every believer’s relationship with God. CREATION On the first topic, creation, Paul teaches in Romans 1:19-20 that the world was spoken into existence by God.
Effective missionaries are lifelong learners of culture, working to understand where their people currently are so they can lead them to a true, yet truly enculturated, understanding of the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. They understand that the core of the Good News can come wrapped in different packages and expressions. That is all to say, this book by Reggie McNeal resonates with my passion for people with a missional faith. That we should be more missional. To survive as a church in this modern western world, we need a huge paradigm shift of being missional.
He shows that the passage in Acts includes evangelism, teaching, service, and worship of God. However, it includes more than just those aspects of church ministry and with greater specificity to the church than do the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, which were given before the commencement of the church. It includes prayer and fellowship along with meeting together as a church (221). In addition, Hammett argues for more than just a return to teachings held centuries ago. He also contends that contemporary Christians must progress beyond mistakes of the past.

As a Christian chaplain candidate, My desire is to wear the cross, and my actions speak volumes about my faith. Because of some of the restrictions on direct evangelism, the most important call is to show Christ through my life, and allow others to ask the questions. The Holy Spirit will work through both our words and our actions. People have to understand that the chaplaincy in the United States Military has a long history dating back to the Revolution. The role of the chaplain has changed considerably.
The people conquered by charlemegne , after being converted to christianty, were taught through the bible of codes that taught right and wrong. It was nesscary for the church to play a role in this education of the people, because only the clergy were educated. The church also guided charlemagene’s hand as a ruler, for he took on many conquests and missions so this way the Christian relgion could spread throught Europe. Indeed, his desire and passionate to spread his kingdom and government was interwined with his desire to spread the Christian relgion and have the people live according to the word of god. At that beginning of the caroligian dynasty the church was suffering from problems.
Martin Luther is considered one of the greatest Christian minds in all of history. Martin Luther was the founder of Protestantism. But to better understand Martin Luther, one has to go back to the time period he lived in, and the culture that surrounded him. After that, the reasons for his beliefs can be better understood, and his life begins to make sense. Finally after one learns about Luther’s life and culture, he can then begin to see the effect Luther’s life had on the culture of his day that have remained strong unto the present.
Subject: Religion Topic: The Significance of Matthew’s Gospel as both the first in the canon of the New Testament as well as “the church’s gospel”. The Gospel of Matthew The gospel of Matthew has been highly regarded for its enlightening perspective with respect to faith and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Its wealth of historical content as well as its detail- oriented focus has led to its becoming the church’s primary reference for all historical content concerning the ethos of the Messianic era (i.e. the documented records of Jesus’s life, teachings, and general impact). It is for these reasons that Matthew’s writings have been placed foremost in the biblical canon of the gospels despite-- with respect to historical accuracy-- in reality being the second to be composed.
This explosive growth has forced the Christian world to pay increasing attention to the entire movement and to attempt to discover the root causes of this growth. Although the Pentecostal movement had its beginnings in the United States, it owed much of its basic theology to earlier British perfectionistic and charismatic movements. At least three of these, the Methodist/Holiness movement, the Catholic Apostolic movement of Edward Irving, and the British Keswick "Higher Life" movement prepared the way for what appeared to be a spontaneous outpouring of the Holy Spirit in America. Perhaps the most important immediate precursor to Pentecostalism was the Holiness movement which issued from the heart of Methodism at the end of the Nineteenth Century. From John Wesley, the Pentecostals inherited the idea of a subsequent crisis experience variously called "entire sanctification,""
Christianity should be seen as the outline for godly decision making and a strategy for daily living.11 The Word of God has the final jurisdiction and is pertinent for the choices that Christians must make, many of which have moral consequences.
