My Christian faith has been a cornerstone throughout my life, calming and supporting me within the trials of life. My faith has reminded me and taught me, that my achievements are not my own, rather, they are a gift from God. This is something I have often struggled with, pride controlling and limiting the growth within my life. However, through the refinement of my faith, as well as having great mentors and examples, I now understand that these gifts I have are given, are gifts, not a result of anything I have done or could do. Within the classroom, my faith aids me as it reminds me that I am called to work heartily in all areas of life, in addition to being a good steward of the abilities which God has given to me. Throughout the stressful times and the hard times I can also remember that God is going to love me no matter what, and perhaps remembering this, and keeping …show more content…
I haven't always been such a great example in this area, but my faith has undoubtedly motivated me to try and be an ambassador to those around me, showing them the unconditional love which Christ showed us. Within the church, I believe the biggest area my faith has impacted me is growth. Prompting me to ask questions which are uncomfortable, and step outside of my comfort zone, in order that I might be refined through these experiences. Questions that stimulate growth by furthering my understanding of key issues and concepts within the faith. Lastly, extra-curricular activities have been influence the most by my faith. Before realizing the importance of my faith, the stage and the field served one purpose, bringing me personal pleasure and praise. This remained way for quite some time, even after I had supposedly embraced this faith lifestyle. However both singing and soccer became increasingly less fun, causing me to question why I was involved with these
How did the earth and everything on it come into existence? This is a question, that for the Christian worldview is answered by the Bible, in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. The Bible makes clear to it’s readers that God existed before anything else. The creation account in Genesis 1 splits creation into 6 days and a 7th day of rest. The first day God created the earth and Heaven as well as day and night. The second day God separated the earth from heaven to create the sky. On the third day God separated the waters on earth so there would be dry land. He created plants and trees that could bear fruit and seeds. God made theses plants so that they would be able to keep growing from the seeds that fell from them. On the fourth day God created the
I have to agree with you Kesha this course did shed light on and let us explore different worldviews than our own Christian worldview. It placed emphasis on how important it is for us to understand other worldviews in order to be able to get along with non-Christians. Our world has become a society of multi cultures, and in order to be able to understand and be able to communicate with these other cultures we need to understand where they are coming from. No matter what type of worldview a person has, each person has the capability of knowing right from wrong, and good from evil, and each person has value within themselves. As we go onto our future careers as Administrators we will need to fall back on what we learned in this class. It
How are “schemas” in keeping with a Christian Worldview and how will you use this understanding when treating clients?
Ever since I was six years old, the year I was baptized, I have been on fire for the Lord. I attended a Christian school for eight years and have always been very involved at my church. My first experience outside of my “Christian bubble” was when I went to a public high school. For the first time in my life, I was out of my comfort zone. Being at a public school challenged my faith, strengthened my leadership skills, and forced me to branch out and meet people I would have never encountered otherwise. However, even though being at a public school helped strengthen my faith in ways I would have never guessed, I believe attending a Christian university—like Liberty—is the best choice to further my education. Going to college is new and exciting, but it can also be a demanding and intimidating experience. Being so far away from home, in a different environment,
When it comes to living out the beliefs of the Christian worldview, the way to do so is by attempting to emulate the behaviors that Jesus displayed during his limited time on earth. This is because as Christians we are expected to live a life that mirrors his since Jesus lived a sinless life and had a perfect relationship with the Father. Trying to emulate the behavior of Christ and by virtue living out the virtues of life is based upon the examples left within the Bible. In the Bible, Christ showed how his followers were to live out his teachings in their everyday lives despite the persecution that they would face from others. Instances of this include when he told Peter not to fight the guards, when he spoke of turning one's cheek, and when
My name is Asia Harvey. I am eighteen years old. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am a freshman in college majoring in communications. Worldview to me means how everyone in the world interprets reality. I believe everyone has a worldview and it is influenced by our ethics, morals, and family values. It can also be influenced by what we hear, what we read, what we see or who we associate with. Worldview is mostly influenced by religion and science even though, a worldview can and do change. I believe the Christian worldview deals with the belief in the Bible. It leads me to believe that God created the universe in six days and on the last day he rested and that I am God's creation put on earth to fellowship with him and govern
According to Amy Scott Hassenpflug, Aaron D. Traphagem and Jamaica Johnson Conner, authors of Breaking Ground: Keys For Successful Online Learning, “Because your worldview is all-encompassing, it affects your thinking on every aspect of life, from what you view as right and wrong to how you spend your money and your time to what you think politically; it even impacts how you treat others” (p. 82). While Buddhism worldviews focus a lot on karma and rebirth, Christian worldviews tends to turn to God as their higher power. In this paper, I will discuss the similarities and differences between Buddhism and Christian worldviews.
How Christian world view impact my career Having a Christian worldview is important in any field of study and workplace. A person who has a Christian worldview perceives the world from a biblical stand point. Having a Christian worldview is a life style. We choose to have a Christian worldview. We choose to live a life like Jesus did and when someone lives like this it affects everything they do.
A Christian worldview is a theistic worldview in which it is believed everything that exists in because of God. Everything as we know it was created by God himself. Right off the bat the bible says “In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1 New American Standard Bible). The Bible says “God created man in his own image” (Gen 1:27), again showing God is the creator of everything, including humankind. In Rev.4:11, John gives glory to God for creating all things. God created everything, and it is through His will that we exist.
I believe each of us, as health professionals, have felt the calling on our lives to serve and help others. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God has a perfect path set out for each of us. God is using my education to help improve the populations overall health as a tool to reach millions for his glory. “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Proverbs 16:3. I wholeheartedly believe that God is using me to love and help my community become healthier in both a physical and spiritual sense.
Worldview is defined as the concept of how one envisions the reality. It is the framework of ideas concerning the world, humans, and life in general. The concept of worldview tends to describe a comprehensive set of beliefs which govern people’s perception of the world. There are some worldview questions that seek to determine the origin of man, the existence of God and much more.
The first and most important theme in a Christian worldview is believing in the one true God. The creator of all things in the universe.
Now having a better understanding of postmodernism worldview, one can direct all the attention to describe the Christian worldview. The Bible is clear by presenting a Creator God, which answers most of the greatest profound questions of humanity. The true is that the Bible tells one how God created the world and everything in it. At the epicenter of the Christian faith, is the belief that the Creator God of the Bible is real. This is a major contrast with the postmodern worldview. In fact, at the root of Christianity is the reality that creation and the human race are the creation of the only true God Himself. As a result, the epicenter of Christianity is faith in the existence of this God who has revealed Himself in many ways, but the main
“As we evaluate the adequacy of competing worldviews, it soon becomes evident that not all of them give the same answers to life’s most profound questions.” (Wilkens & Sanford, 2009) A worldview is our perception or conception of the world around us and provides answers to questions like, “What part do I have to play in this world?” It is important to constantly evaluate and check your worldview to ensure that you are truly living to what you say you believe. During my examination of different worldviews and the comparison to the Christian worldview, I have come to realize how things like individualism, moral relativism, and even nationalism have come to play a part in my own worldview and I have learned the importance of constantly comparing
I personally feel fellow followers and I have unique gifts that help us contribute to the Body of Christ. In high school I felt that my part of the Church was to evangelize through my ability to run whether that be on the team or through putting on 5K races to raise money for Gods people. I still believe that God has blessed me this the ability to run well to glorify His kingdom. Now as a college student at Wheaton College my part of the Body seems to be a little different; I no longer stand alone in my faith in my classes, but I also I have fewer chances to speak to non-believers. I feel currently that I my part of the Body of Christ is to learn and learn well, in order to contribute well in the future but also contribute as a student. This maybe through an internship, research, lab or simply class my current function is glorify God in all that I do. I also feel called to medicine, but this calling is backed up by characteristics that Gods has blessed me with. My top strengths include: empathy, responsibility, consistency, harmony, and developer; I found this out with the strengths finder test. I find that these characteristic along with caring for the well being of people will help me benefit God’s people through health care.
