With every opportunity of listening I will be mindful of creating a safe environment where clarity, understanding, and listening can take place effectively. More, important I should keep in mind how God listen to us. He listen to other with a love, compassion and caring heart. I want to do more listening and slow to speak. James 1:19 (KJV) says, “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” Taking the correct actions when listening will allow me to mend broken relationship due to lack of communication or listening skills.
He taught us to be kind and not to judge, to treat our neighbors respectfully. He taught us to turn the other cheek and to have faith in God’s word. Jesus taught us not only to love ourselves but to love mankind as well. Jesus taught us how to walk the road to righteousness and to have faith in God our heavenly father. Jesus addressed many issues during his sermon on the mount.
We never quarrel about religion.” “Brother, the Great Spirit has made us all, but He had made a great difference between his white and red children. He has given us different complexions and different customs...” …” Why may we not conclude that He has given us a different religion according to our understanding? The Great Spirit does right. He knows what is best for his children; we
Coaching helps people find greater fulfillment in life. Coaching is not counseling, mentoring, discipling or consulting. Each of these practices involves accountability, encouragement, and a commitment to growth (Collins, 2009, p. 17), but coaching is a unique process that encourages clients to make their own judgments and decisions (p. 18). The Christian coach places an emphasis on an eternal purpose (p. 22). Christian coaches bring a biblical worldview; live out their Christian faith; understand that they cannot be completely neutral; and pray regularly for their clients (pp 24-25).
In the Gospel of Mark, I see Jesus, the Son of God, as a loving, faithful, obedient servant who walks in compassion; doing the will of His Father. He is a servant. His message to us all is “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Jesus witnessed to us on how to be great, by giving our life in service to God. Jesus taught us a new definition for greatness, the word servant.
“Tough Teaching” In reviewing Kurt Wiesenfeld’s article in Newsweek titled “Making the Grade” I would whole heartedly agree with his teaching methods and numerous points of not backing down in order to make the student happy. The point he makes in the third paragraph when he states, “You might groan and moan, but you accepted it as the outcome of your efforts or lack thereof”, simply means there should never be a question or complaint about your grade, you deserve the grade you receive judging by the amount of time you put into the work assigned. Another point in which Wiesenfeld shows the ideal methods of teaching is his lack of remorse for the student. He will not pass a student just because he or she is the leading scorer on the basketball
Maya Williams Ms. Radford English 111 16 October 2011 Creative Writing Response: A River Runs Through It “Help is giving part of yourself to somebody who comes to accept it willingly and needs it badly.” Paul and Norman’s father desires for his sons to be compassionate towards other people. Not only to show courtesy and character, but helping someone also demonstrates God’s endless love and mercy he shows to anyone who willingly accepts Him as his/her savior. As a minister, this father’s ultimate goal as a parent is to raise his children to be as Christ like as humanly possible. He yearns to find assistance for his mischievous son, Paul, and directs this quote at Norman during some of his final days of life. Most of the time, people
Today, when you are wed you promise to stay with your companion for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish; from the day you are married till death do you part. Ultimately you promise to stay with them for the rest of your life. As a Christian, honoring the commitment of marriage is very important, but many people divorce anyway. Another way people are hypocritical about religion is when kids go to religion or faith formation. Most kids go not for learning about the Bible, and God, but go just to be with friends.
In a Christian learning environment, a student can feel free to question their faith so it will be strengthened and ready to meet the challenge when evil strikes.. I believe it would be best to look at, and learn about, the world from God’s perspective since He created it and He knows it best. ( eric this just repeats what you already
Although, Merton obviously understands the importance of forgiveness and cherishes this concept, because he has been quoted saying that “We do not really know how to forgive until we know what it is to be forgiven. Therefore we should be glad that we can be forgiven by our brothers. It is our forgiveness of on another that makes the love of Jesus manifest in our lives, for in forgiving we act towards one another as God as acted towards us.” It is for these reasons why I believe that Merton would have disagreed with Wiesenthal’s course of action, and will agree to the fact that it was his duty as a Christian to show mercy towards someone who had been suffering and who had asked for
