are strongly in-line with Natural Law. Many Christians adopt deontological positions and think we should act according to God's design or purpose for our lives. They may be less influenced by Aquinas in this, and Protestants tend to be less sure about moral absolutes. However, there is still a strong sense of following rules within most Christian denominations. Aquinas said: “Consequently, law must needs concern itself mainly with the order that is in beatitude.” From this we can see that the Bible played a big part in the development of Natural Law; this proves that Christians make moral decisions through a multiple of different ways.

Wittgenstein’s language games argument implies that statements such as ‘god is good’ are meaningful in certain situations. For Catholics, for example, this statement is acceptable and meaningful as it resonates with that certain community whereas discussing this statement with atheists or people who don’t believe in gods goodness would make it meaningless.

For example, if I said ‘Manchester United is the best team in England’ to a group of football fans, it has meaning.

Elizabeth had the backing of the Protestants of which she was the acknowledged leader, and Mary had the support of the Roman Catholics, the largest Church in Europe and undoubtedly powerful during those times. Most monarchs would want the Church’s approval in order for them to legitimize their rule but Elizabeth took after his father and preferred to uphold the authority of the Church of England. In spite of the tragic direction that the relationship between Elizabeth and Mary took, it cannot be denied that the latter significantly impact the authority of Elizabeth.

Some of the problems that people are facing include, but are not limited to, domestic violence, fatherless homes, marriage trouble (divorce), as well as sexual abuse/assault (Clinton, T., Ohlschlager, G., & Hart, A., 2005). These problems not only affect the non-believer, but also the Christian.
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.
Every individual has a set of values and norms they abide by in everyday activities. Personally, I can assure myself on a few moral choices that guide my lifestyle; however, I must acknowledge that perhaps my upbringing and personal experiences helped shape those. Reading the two passages, I had a moment to reflect on my own knowledge or soon to find out, lack thereof.
