BUSI520: Integration of Faith and Learning: Character Jennifer L. Johnson Liberty University Dr. Coleen James August 23, 2014 One of the virtues that can be found within the pages of the Bible is that of having a firm, yet godly character. When one examines a business, it should also have a firm character. Romans 12:2 is a verse that supports this point. “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Paul was speaking about how as Christians, we should not strive to follow the mold of society, but rather follow the will of the Lord.
It is not a reliable way. This includes reasoning and making predictions without further testing. Faith is another way that a lot of Christian believers us to seek the truth. The faith based way of seeking the truth is different from the scientific method in that it can answer a lot of questions about the most important truths. (Religious-Science.com 2008) The truths about the purpose of life and that our creator, God wants us to be happy and that he has a plan for each one of us.
Redemption and conversion. Both play big roles in church and religion but one of the first stories comes from someone who would later become an Apostle, and the other from the least likely of places or people. But neither are people who when initial looking at their lives would we expect to be saved by God and used to spread his word to others. But God chooses the most unlikely people and in the most unlikely of places. Two stories in particular are similar and they are the stories of St. Paul formerly known as Saul and then Jules Winnfield the hitman played by Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.
(Matthew 22:37-39) From Jesus’ words we understand the importance of true love and the absolute necessity of its practice in the life of the Christian. Too often is seen the misinterpretation of love as a temporary occurrence that comes and goes in people’s lives and the true definition is lost. The Christian must humbly demonstrate love to God and others by offering their entire life as a living sacrifice. (Romans 12:1) The cold arguments in favor of the advancement cannot prevail against the love of Christ that is found evident in the life of the Christian. Love is the most important weapon in the arsenal of a believer (1 Corinthians 13), and it is vital that the true definition of love be communicated to Advancement thinkers by the life that we live and the Gospel we proclaim.
What It Means To Be Like Jesus us tells us that those who follow Him will become like Him. What does it mean to "be like Jesus" in the complex times of today's world? To try and explain how we can be more like Jesus, we are going to examine what Matthew says about being Christ like. To be like Jesus means to accept our heritage. Jesus' heritage was multiethnic and included several questionable individuals.
3. Note that Lewis says that „Theology is practical‟. In what ways does Lewis see the theology of the Trinity as practical for the Christian life? That is, what difference would it really make (for Christians or for anyone else) if Jesus was fully God, or not? I think that it would change the perspective in the case that god sent is son on earth to do the things for us the people and if it was god who was doing this instead of his son, it would definitely change the way Christians think about who god is and what he was really about like Lewis talks about the man and a statue just because god sent his son to teach us different things that does not mean they are the same, but if it were god the whole time Christians would not know what to think about Christianity and the teachings from Jesus I think it would change their whole perspective on
The Sermon on the Mount is one hundred percent anti retaliation. If someone even does anything evil to you, you’re supposed to turn the other cheek, forgive, and pray for the ones who did you wrong. As a people we have a hard time following this simple rule because we don’t want to let people walk all over us, but apparently that’s the ideal way to live one’s life. The main reasons for this rule of living a moral life is that everyone, righteous or evil, are children of the all mighty God above. “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthews 676).
It derives from a passage in the Bible which states, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” Proverbs 13: 24 Discipline shows a child that they are not above reproach and that they are responsible for their own actions. Children are born instinctively with the understanding of “I am right, you are wrong, and I will do what I please”. But as parents it our sole purpose from the child’s very first breathe to imbed all of what we know and believe to be right in order to survive and flourish in the world around us into them. The Bible also states, “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod will drive it far from him.” Proverbs 22:15 I myself am a believer in the Christian faith and what I have learned from my belief I firmly stand by. A “spanking” is not the only form of punishment I use, but I feel it is appropriate in times of clear defiance.
EXPERIENTIAL APOLOGETICS Judi Fall Introduction to Apologetics /APOL500 February 7, 2010 INTRODUCTION Likely, the most important thing you can do, as a Christian, is to share the gospel with others. Whether you are a Christian or are not, you need to hear the gospel. But that being said, it is easier said than done. There are those who will be willing to hear and those who will not. Being able to give an answer to everyone who asks is known as apologetics, which means to “give an answer.” 1{Hindson, Caner, 28} Paul said in 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.
