    God and church activities have been a part of my weekly routine for as long as I can remember. If it is nine o’clock on a Sunday morning, I will definitely be in a church pew at Highland Baptist Church. My parents make sure that I understand the importance of going to church and trying to exemplify the spirit of Christ daily. I have been given the amazing opportunity to be raised on Godly morals in a strong Christian household. Because of this, God has always been the center of my life, or at least that is what I thought.

  • Personal Narrative: Christian Worldview

    Part 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.

I began to visit the church on Sundays and on the third Sunday I was fully convinced of God’s love for us through Jesus. It was the first time I heard the famous quoted verse from John 3:16. I believed for the first time His was crucified for my sins and that He resurrected on the third day; and accepted the altar’s call for repentance.

    During the Holocaust Jews were marked with the Star of David on their clothes ( Young, pg192). The badge was used to humiliate the Jews and to segregate them to keep watch (Holocaust Encyclopedia). Soon this was the death of six million Jews. Because of the Holocaust people lost their faith but this should not change the way of traditional belief in God. During the Holocaust, lots of people died and maybe some lost their faith, but I believe that the faith of many people grew.

  • Personal Narrative-Mormon Magic

    Mormon Magic It is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment that causes someone to commence adulthood. Personally, it could be easy to say that I have matured because of tough times, such as when I realized that “happily ever after” did not exist between my parents, as I had learned from the countless screaming matches and daunting door slams. Another possible time was when I had to live in a shelter and learn how to live in an impossibly tiny room with my mother and sister, sharing the same roof with strangers, when before then, I had lived in a spacious four-bedroom home. However, none of that quite fits the bill. During all of that, I was still completely dependent, helpless even, which is definitely not what defines adulthood.

    Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

  • Personal Narrative: Creating My Religion

    Creating 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.
