Pillar Dinner Analysis

638 Words3 Pages

One thing that stood out to me during the pillar dinner is how Dr. Choi was going to each intern and writing what we did next to a picture of us in order to include us in his daily prayer. The way that he was so ready and willing to include us in his personal prayer time really took me off guard. It was very refreshing to see someone act in this manner. I hope to one day be so active in my prayer life as to take others off guard in how ready I am to take the responsibility of praying for them in my personal prayer time. In order to increase my prayer life to a point where I can genuinely pray for others in such a manner as to take them off guard I must continually pursue a personal and passionate walk with God. When I am able to bring others into my personal prayer life I will begin to grow in my personal relationship with God. Something that inspired me was how Dr. Choi said that “when you become content you’ll know what you are supposed to be doing”. This inspires me because it reaffirms my belief that whatever God has called me to, I will …show more content…

It only matters in that can help it can help me. It cannot hurt me. What I have done is done and if I am truly repentant God will forgive me. There is nothing I have done in my past that is bigger than God. The only thing that my past will do for me when I have a truly repentant heart is help me to relate to others and give me the opportunity to learn from my mistakes and move on. Past mistakes can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you view them. Many have been driven insane by their past failures yet, many have also made peace with their past through God then used their past in their testimonies to lead large numbers to Christ. In order to use my past to advance the Kingdom of God I must not fall into the trap of depression and anxiety because of my past. I must fully surrender to God and not continue to dredge up my

  • Analyzing Oral Roberts's 'Running For Jesus Girl'

    180 Words  | 1 Pages

    The first presenter was Madeline Manning-Mims and she is a Sports Chaplain. I found many of her stories very memorable. One thing was that Oral Roberts would always call her “Running for Jesus girl,” but not just that, one of the last things Oral Roberts told her was, “Move God, move.” What he meant with this was for God to move in her and this shows just how powerful confessing with your mouth could be, because she said that because of this she feels that God put her in a situation where she was able to publicly confess her faith in Jesus. I do believe God puts us in situations where we get to proclaim our love for Jesus to others and Madeline took that chance.

    As Screwtape advises his nephew, "When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them try to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by its success in producing the desired feeling, and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment" (Lewis, 16). The emotional rush that occurs when drawing near to the Holy Spirit is a feeling almost every Christian has experienced. New believers tend to use this feeling as their sole motivation for prayer, study, and worship.

    The concept of affluenza, which is heavily explored in Herman Koch’s social commentary driven novel The Dinner is a problem that is constantly becoming more and more relevant in present-day American society. American society is different from almost all others in the world because of how much it is idealized. People often speak whimsically about “The American Dream,” of succeeding out of hard work in Free-market capitalism. However, this system allows for the very richest top percent of people to dominate the society- with recent figures from publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and notably contemporary democratic senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders proclaiming that the top 1 percent of Americans own more than the

I knew the basics, but I was not fully grasping the concept. I knew that prayer was necessary to have a real relationship with God, but at the same time I did not think of it as very important. From this study, I learned that prayer is what connects us with God.
