Jamie Gosney International Christian Studies Professor White, Dobbins 3 December 2012 Final Integrative Paper As I begin to type out what I have learned throughout the time in this class, and the over view to my conclusion I realize that my heart has been changed dramatically. Before I entered this class I had a different outlook as to who God is, and how He fit into my life. Although I had been practicing the concept of giving up a lot of what I had for God before this class, I never really knew how to take the next step.

Secular Humanists believe when you die, that’s the end of everything; there is no afterlife. There is no judgment seat, and no rewards for the deeds or misdeeds completed during the life of a person. This is summed up by a phrase I heard by many times throughout my life “When you’re dead, you’re done.” Compare/Contrast with Biblical/Christian Worldview Since I chose a worldview that’s in blatant contrast to my Christian beliefs,
Crucible in the Modern Day World The world is full of those who think their ways are better than others. These people condemn those who don’t have their same beliefs. Prejudice views and judgments cause the world to erupt in wars and conflicts that sometimes are not easy to overcome. The Crucible still speaks to audiences because of prejudice and false judgment everywhere.

His tortured struggle to attain a vision of God. The path to God one of tears and exhaustion. *Gregory of Nyssa. The aim of the contemplative is to go beyond ideas and images, since these are but abstractions. One must acquire a "sense of presence."
As well as rules for when, how often they must worship and go into the community. Nonetheless, they believe that this is a necessity in their life and for their salvation. While speaking to both of the people that were interviewed they seemed to have almost the exact answers as the other. This religion is very strict and does not have room questions nor does it have room to have different answers. They all read the same material, and as it is in my paper earlier even questioning what they are told has severe consequences.
No longer are we living for the glory of God, to know and love him and one another. Through sin, we lose our sense of relational security as well as our sense of
Despite the fact that he and his wife have been “mean and fought dirty” he knows they must break down these walls of anger and resentment, “no matter how much work it requires” (442). Dr.Ted Huston stated in the article, Will Your Marriage Last by Aviva Patz: that “Our culture is to blame for perpetuating the myth of storybook romance, which is more likely to doom a marriage than strengthen it” (449). Life alone is hard. Add a spouse, children, pets, work and daily responsibilities to the list, and we each will begin to see and feel the effects of a roller coaster of emotions.

One must take into account another’s feelings before one act towards them. All Mrs. Goodman talked about are definitive rules that should be held into account by every human
In the case of the 1692 Puritan town of Salem, the community’s rigid management created high standards for everyone.

The growing issue of bullying has created a desire for pity and a sheltered society among the parent and student generations. Selfishness promotes the one’s thought that life is terrible, and the world should
