Three of these avenues are overcoming false guidance, bitterness and rebellion.
The life of Christ in Mark’s Gospel evidently accounts the humble and just acts of Jesus Christ on earth. Jesus was seen as an activist, a teacher and a healer. He touched the lives of many people in sickness, taught us the ways of faith and challenged the position of other people of power at the time.

The members of my church community have provided me with the support and encouragement to achieve my goals. In addition, my peers in the church community through their hard work and successes have encouraged me to pursue my own goals. They have served as role models for me and I hope that I can serve as a role model for the next generation.

I have become a better student, a better thinker, a better leader, and a more mature
We need to read and get an understanding of what others went through in their lives because most of us are experiencing those same things they were experiencing right now and today.

I love the way their relationships were with God and how they prayed, rose

Yes, because they show us how we can live our lives, how we can be faithful to God, How we can act and most importantly they give us explanations about certain situations. The Hebrew Scriptures do play a very important role in everyday life. I believe that this is what God intended the Hebrew Scriptures
The Bible teaches and illustrates Christian key beliefs and ideas. It is known to be the inspired Word of God, which sees the detailed formation of Christians key beliefs, most notably the nature of God, revelation, salvation, the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, as well as the death, resurrection and ascension of Christ.

I have always admired her compassion towards others and her commitment to serve people that needed help. Another factor that has an impact in my beliefs is my culture. I believe in families caring for one another, in communities united to help each other, in total respect and dignity to the elderly, in hard work to achieve success and unity at all times.

My number one spiritual gift is shepperd and the second is a tie of two: administration and evangelization. I agree with the results and even though it is not the first time that someone mentions these particular gifts, it was very encouraging results.
