There are not many authors throughout church history who have been able to touch the centrality and supremacy of Christ like T. Austin Sparks and Watchman Nee. Their writings are apparently floating to the surface of modern religious Christianity... and they are choking out the empty dead adages and 12 step "purpose-driven" life plans. These simple Christ-centered messages are helping believers everywhere to see the simplistic nature of our faith. And Watchman Nee touches on so of these in his book “Christ: The Sum of All Spiritual Things” In "Christ: The Sum of All Spiritual Things," Nee says that Too often Christians view Christ as the one who gives us the stuff or the "things" we need to succeed and to live victoriously. We must stop running after the accumulation of worthless religious "things" and find our satisfaction in the Person of Christ.
Explain how Christians make moral decisions. (25 marks) Christians have different ways of making moral decisions. Some rely on pure Biblical teaching, others on the Churches leadership, and others on their own conscience and others on Thomas Aquinas’ Natural Law. People of the Catholic Church believe Jesus gave His authority to Peter, and it has been passed down ever since, currently lying with Pope Benedict. The Catholic Church has a magisterium - its teachings have a God-given authority that is equal to the authority of scripture.
The choir put a spin on the way I ever looked at lyrics but the melody that they created was both high and low, they just stayed in harmony even when they weren't all singing at one and it was guys vs girls. As for the band I would say that the range that they covered as well correlated just right with the choir as they had
I’m sure they did everything right but I want to make the people understand from what I’m preaching about God.” Leele: “What do you hopefully wish you can improve your success to gain people attention to your preach of God?” Karissa (Aimee): “Since I have advertised, traveled, performed on stages, and interviews with reporters. I hopefully wish I can improve by creating a location for where people can come and go and listen to my preaching in one certain place, where I can call it ’My home’. I want to call it the FourSquare Gospel.” Leele: “What steps did you take in order to become famous, or to make yourself known to other people?” Karissa (Aimee): “Well, at first I didn’t want to become famous but when I started to advertised after the death of my husband, I realized people need to listen what God is telling to tell His people. I went beyond than just advertising and did more to have people feel like they are with God.” Leele: “What kind of impact do you have on these people with your preaching of
Jehovah Witness and Christianity The belief system of a Jehovah Witness, in comparison, is like those of Christianity when only momentarily glanced at. Any person could easily mistake the two for the same religion, just different sects or denominations. However, in reality, they differ quite profligately. The enigma that we find between these two groups is they both claim to be “Christian.” Christianity has many sects; nonetheless, a Jehovah Witness is not one of those. Jehovah Witness stands alone claiming to be the only “true Christians,” while all the other Christians are not truly Christian according to them.

1. http://www.crisismagazine.com/2012/materialism-is-killing-country-music/ This article comes from a magazine for Catholics titled Crisis Magazine. I think it was published here because multiple country music songs include ideas about God, which would attract the attention of Christians. It points out all of the materialistic items that modern country artists sing about and says that traditional country fans have every right to complain about it. The browser can find out what materialistic things are mentioned in a song that is considered to be a good modern country tune. Browsers can also add commentary at the end of the article.
Detail Worldview Outline Eibylardo M. Funes Grand Canyon University CWV-101 20131221 Dr. Jeff Jibben Christian Worldview The Christian Worldview is usually many Christians view and meaning of the teaching of the bible. I often look at Worldview as majority of opinions from many Christian denominations and how they perceive the word of GOD and the teaching of the bible should be in related in today’s world. As a new Christians my views are in between and I’m just now learning GOD, so I fall in the category of Majority I believe and have Faith that they are true. Who is GOD and what are his characteristics? God is the father and the almighty; his characteristics are actually taught in the Bible.
This fairytale ending is easily accepted by many, not because they believe it is feasible, but because they wish it was. Seeing Jakie reconcile with his father and still become a Broadway star gives hope to someone with the same experiences. The Jazz Singer (1927) may be an old movie, but its portrayal of religion still holds true today. Secular music is still looked down upon by many conservative believers, many communities still have deep religious roots and although the reasons why certain traditions or holidays exist are not known they are still practiced. Finally religion has a huge impact on the personal lives or many people, whether they are being controlled by it or fighting against it.
I have been to a few churches out here in Los Angeles and many Churches involve music, clothing and other things that separate them from others. Also Native Americans use visual rituals to talk to their ancestors, and this makes them similar to other religions like Catholics who use Saints as vessels to speak to God. All in all religion is a beautiful thing and this is what keeps some of us sane, because without it many of us will go crazy because we don’t have a set of rules we need to follow. Religion for me is a very hard subject to talk about because I have seen what religion ideals make you do. I have had friends who I consider brothers died in Iraq because of suicide bombers and I have had friends ridicule and harassed because they are Muslim.
