The traditions of man must give way to this new generation of worshippers, worshippers who are not frequenting the Church but are in the communities helping, reading ‘spiritual’ books to help them learn about being great people, and having a relationship with God. This is the generation of the Church without walls, they are not seeking the norm, but are challenging the traditional Church to come and meet them and when they do come for baptisms, funerals, or weddings to accept them. The Church must take these opportune moments and get to know these individuals and they may have the answers that the Church is seeking now. There is a responsibility that the Church has that must take place before It can prosper

Her father, originally a Baptist, was strongly influenced by events in the Universalist church that he was converted and raised his family as such. The teachings Clara learned through this family church was that “God encourages all men and women to accept him and charged them to grasp the opportunity to earn salvation-an opportunity open to all”. The Universalist church encouraged being aware of the social happenings around them; to support the education of all youth as well as the idea of charity in the community. While the social teachings of the church were imbued in her, she was never able to fully grasp hold of the actual religion. Clara immersed herself in church work to “keep busy” and help the community around her but never had “deep religious feelings” towards Universalism.

Lewis and Joy both took the road to Atheism and then landed on the road to Christianity. In the book, A Grief Observed, Lewis compared the pain of death to being mildly drunk, or concussed. Lewis felt as though there was a blanket between him and the world. [6] He questioned, “Where is God?’ Although he questioned God and experienced another great loss, Lewis knew that he could not let his faith in God fade. He had to press on and look to God for his purpose in life and believe that God would strengthen him in his time of bereavement.
I'm a Catholic and I go to church almost every Sunday because that’s what my parents taught me, and that's what I believe. Being religious is very important to me because it's apart of my culture and I truly believe in God. I always try to keep my beliefs to myself because I don't need to influence anyone. Now that I'm an adult I appreciate all the advice my parents gave me good or bad. All the mistakes I did my parents always warn me, but I never listen until it was to
“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was a revival sermon written and preached by Jonathan Edwards. It draws up the three basic tenets of Puritanism which are original depravity, limited atonement, and predestination. Most Christians in today’s world do not quite agree with this view. Edwards preaches that it is only by the hand of God that people are not cast into hell giving the impression that anything a person may do to keep themselves out of hell is futile. His sermon was typical of the era and can be assumed to be quite effective.
I can stop my personal attitudes or beliefs from getting in the way of working with children by respecting what they believe and what their attitudes are towards my belief. I have many ways of stopping myself from telling other people about ,my belief or boasting about it. I can try and join in with the group of children or staff and let my attitude or belief take its course in what they think of it but not fighting back in what I strongly believe is right. My main belief is Christianity, I go to church every Sunday. I have a belief that when a child gets older they have to be baptized but I wouldn’t let this enter the workplace because I would respect the child’s belief and what they think of Christianity.
Tozer emphasizes the power of worshiping God. He criticizes a large number of Christians for their substitutes for worship. The reason for man’s existence is to worship God for how loving he is.

Spiritual strength comes with believing in something. Most people believe in God or some other religious symbol that they rely on to help give them strength. Christians usually go to church to learn more about God and pray to him for many things but one that I hear is for him go give that person strength. Bad things happen to people everyday but if you are spiritually strong it does not keep you down. When things happen that we do not want you have to know that it will all work out in the end and keep your spirits
