Christian Worldview in Servant Leadership in Healthcare
Professor: Zonzie McLaurin

Abstract
This paper is about implementing servant leadership into healthcare. It gives insight on how to use servant-leadership qualities by giving the reader guidelines to follow in order to achieve these goals. Some key points of this paper are how to be a true servant-leader. One definition that I found for a servant-leader is that these individuals simply place the serving of others as the number one priority. Servant- leaders are drawn to a purpose greater than themselves and are great listeners that have empathy for the well- being of others.

He created the world and created men and women in his own image. God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that we could have eternal life. Without God, there would be no world because he is the creator of everything. God is omniscient or all – knowing. He is the Alpha and the Omega and knows the beginning from the end. God is sovereign which expresses the fact that nothing is beyond his ultimate interest, control, and authority. God is full of goodness which can be expressed through holiness and love. God’s holiness emphasizes his absolute righteousness, and his love which will not abandon us in times of need. The nature of the world can be described as chaotic, intelligible, and contingent. I believe that God is the creator and he is the one who manages the world. God is constantly involved in the unfolding pattern of the operation of the universe. He is responsible for keeping Parker 6 everything in balance. This is why we have day, night, and even the seasons of the year. God keeps the Earth turning at just the right speed so that we don’t fall off. He keeps the Earth far enough from the Sun so that everything doesn’t burn up. God is responsible for all of these
From the group Biblical Integration Paper, it was understood that servant-leadership is not only a gift of purpose that God places in the hearts of His people, but it is also a calling in one’s life to truly touch the lives of others in need. Living a successful life, as a servant-leader is not one that focuses on self-fulfillment, rather it is in seeking a fulfillment that comes from Christ when one pours him/herself out for the sake of others. It is through servant-leadership that one is able to bring hope into hopeless situations (Group Integration Paper,
In the book of genesis there is a superior being by the name of god. God's first creation was “the heaven and the earth”. The earth had no shape and was filled with darkness so god decided to give it light by the power of his words and it was so. He divided the dark from the light and from that night and day
Christians have an answer to all of this, and that answer is God. God is the Creator of the universe. He is the ultimate source of the universes energy and order. He created it with no disorder (no entropy). When Adam and Eve sinned, however, the Earth began to increase it's entropy (it became more and more disordered). For Christians, talking about entropy is inspiring, because it all points back to God. Christians also know that one day He is going to create a new universe where there is no disorder and no
God is the creator of all that we know and see, this is seen in Genesis 1-2 which gives an account of the whole creation process. Before God created anything, there was nothing but God as the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God had no cause He was just there. The creation story points as, rightly so, to the conclusion that God owns everything; this idea is enforced in Psalms 24:1 “The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”
God let grass come up on the earth,and plants produce seed,and fruit-trees give fruit,in which is their seed,after their sort. God let there be lights in the arch of heaven,fir a division between the day and the night,and let them be for signs,and for marking the changes of the years,and for days and for years. And God made the two great lights:the greater light to be the ruler of the day,and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night;and he made the stars. And then,God let the waters be full of living things,and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven. Then he made great
God is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He created the expanse of the sky down to the tiniest cell. He created man distinct from the rest of His creation. God created man in his own image and likeness and gave him dominion over the rest of His creation. The Bible affirms this in Genesis 1:26, “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’” Humans were created in God’s image, yet after the fall occurred, this image was severely distorted. The image of God in us will be completely restored when Jesus comes again for His church. “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” Throughout church history, theologians have debated what being
God is the Creator of nature and the visible world seen around us. The Bible opens with the words “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Psalm 95:3-6 says, "For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is His also. The sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land."
As written in the lines above, employee engagement has a significant impact on an employee and their engagement. Although there has been many articles and research written about leadership and servant leadership, in this study, it will provide and overview, key traits and influences that servant leaders use in collaboration to address significant problems with strategy and other individuals. Therefore, how do managers and leaders facilitate the engagement of their employees? Leaders do this through their leadership style. In 1970, Robert K. Greenleaf identified servant-leadership, which was different from the traditional views of leadership. According to Greenleaf, “The servant-leader is a servant first. Servant
God is portrait as someone or something who is most great, knows everything. He is the creator and moral authority most of us live by. But like Amselm said God is one substance, an infinite being, the most perfect being in which nothing greater can be conceived. If anyone is greater than
I believe that God created the world and continues to remain active and responsive to the world as it is. God is, first and foremost, loving. As both Father and Mother, God seeks to be in relationship with the world and calls the church toward a vision of creation that is beautiful, diverse, just, and good. God remains with us, even when we turn away and sin. God’s love is greater than we can ever imagine.
embodiment of pure logic. This makes God have no relatable or recognizable qualities that the reader
His love and mercy are displayed on His creation of humanity in numerous ways as God continually draws humanity back to Him. God is a God to be feared, known, and loved. He is the one who receives all glory, honor, and praise (Diffey, para. 8).
God has put his time and efforts to merge his ideas, constructing this masterpiece citizens call home. He has created everything from the smallest atom to humans with the most powerful organ, the brain. Consisting of complex neural networks, the brain allows humans to be able to study, process, and understand his creation. Humans are working on God’s creation with brilliant ideas leading to the advancements of the human population and its hunger for discovery, but it is becoming dangerous for those who share this home with humans. God made sure to create a balance in this world, where there is heat; there is cold, there is day and night, atmosphere and land, wet and dry, humans and other spices. Wright (2003) explained that “This God has created the universe and established it as an orderly, law-bound system dependent on him for its existence, value, and purpose” (p. 11).
God created the world for us. It is where mankind exists. Without God, there is no “us”. From the time we wake up to the time we sleep, everything we see is created by our loving God. God created the world because he wants to share his life to others.
During the event of creation we see that God is the creator of all things and the Lord of all things. We are to give Him praise for His creation of the world and human beings (Revelation 4:11). He created His Son as a visible image of Him who is the invisible image. He created the heavens and the earth, and shows his authority over evil on earth. He does not stop evil, but He clears a path for us to avoid and get away from evil. He sent His Son to reconcile us back to God (Colossians 1:16-20). This passage shows that God is the creator of all things and has power over everything that has been created. He created everything from nothing that is visible. Christ sustains the world and without Him there would be complete chaos.
