Personal Narrative: Mere Christianity
“True humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less” – C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Three years ago, I didn’t want to change the world: I wanted to be rich. Avarice and selfishness motivated me to succeed, and I was flippant in how I lived my life. I was not happy, but I didn’t care. I found my self-worth in what I could achieve, and whom I could impress. Later, I would find myself extricated from this material rut through a relationship with Christ – not a Christian religion.
At the start of my sophomore year, I was invited back to the church that I attended apprehensively with my parents when I was younger. Although I believed in God (because everyone else did), I had never really invested before. I thought

This was the fire the children of my village sat around and told stories before they went to sleep, and tonight was no different. All of their eyes stared at me expectantly as they waited for me to start telling them a story. “Two Rivers Running, tell us the Story of the Great Battle again,” the little ones asked. All eyes were on me as I sat down next to them, everyone silent as I told them the story of the Great Battle.

Cs Lewis Humility Research
260 Words | 2 PagesC.S. Lewis once said “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it 's thinking of yourself less.” This to me means humility is not thinking of yourself as much rather than feeling worse than yourself. Sometimes when I feel humility because I’m unable to do what others do I can’t help but feel very bad about myself. Normally, my pride and ego are damaged for weeks on end.
Personal Narrative: Christian Worldview
567 Words | 3 PagesPart One – Christian Worldview In today’s world it is easy to become enchanted by worldly things. The deceptions that Christian’s allow themselves to believe (i.e. just this once, it’s not going to hurt anyone, I can handle it, I can stop whenever I want, etc.) come directly from Satan. There was a time when hearing a curse word or seeing too much flesh in a movie would be embarrassing; now it appears to be the norm and most Christians do not even bat an eye at such things any more.
Murdoch's Utilitarianism: The Ideal Of Humility
959 Words | 4 PagesAn ideal humble person has no self to improve, but self-improvement is an essential part of being a real-life good person, and an ideal that excludes self-improvement would not be a useful one. The ideal of humility should not be interpreted as saying that a person should pretend he has no self, but as a humbling reminder of what’s important and what is not. Self-cultivation of humility is only useful insofar as it enhances, rather than distracts from, attention to others, which is of primary

Personal Narrative: Changing My Religion
167 Words | 1 PagesLiving in a predominately Caucasian neighborhood that were Christians and Catholics, in Lakewood, Colorado, I was exposed to many friends that are these religions. Therefore, they would ask me to go to church with them to watch performances that their church is putting on. I would go to these church events, even though I am Buddhist because I wanted to be exposed to other religions and see how they worship their god. Although I never thought about changing my religion, I do find it interesting how differently my religion is to everyone else’s. My parents never knew I went to other church events because they are strict about me just being in temples.
Personal Narrative: Growing Up Christianity
846 Words | 4 PagesGrowing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.

Personal Narrative: Creating My Religion
1460 Words | 6 PagesCreating my own religion, this task does seem pretty fun. Well my religion would be very similar to the army and sports, it will contain structure, a need to compete/exercise, guidelines on how to treat others, and most of all it will be fun. There will be no reliance on a god/s, no prejudice against others and most of all, history will be made by each individual. And what I mean from that, yes there will be history but each person will be in charge of choosing their own paths in life. There will be no guidelines to follow (except to treat others kindly), just the freedom for one to create their own greatness.

As the organist began playing, I stared at the large golden cross that hung above the altar, its metallic sheen contrasting with the deep green marble. I was baptized as a Catholic, attended a Catholic elementary school and high school, and attended church every Sunday with my family. I made my first reconciliation and received a small silver cross necklace with a tiny peridot in the center.
