Richard Pearcey's Repairing Total Truth

457 Words2 Pages

Total truth talks about how the secular world has pushed aside Christian views and those that support them are being told to hide that side of themselves. Christians have come to understand that there has to be two sides to them in how they live their lives. One is their work persona and two their church persona. The author goes on to say that they as Christians should break out of this grid that people have created for them so that they can truly live a Christian life every day for every walk of life.
Pearcey talks about how Christians should be able to freely serve God. To serve freely people have to live the way God wants them to and that includes serving him through every fiber of their life which includes their daily jobs. Religion hasn’t always been pushed aside and many countries around the world view religion as one of the major factors of how people …show more content…

But for Christians it isn’t about turning everyone into Christians but giving people a choice to hear other worldviews. In whole the purpose of the book is to help Christians free their faith from what others have deemed inappropriate for certain areas of life. That Christians need to take a stance to say that we will not sit aside and let others tell us what to do but to show others that what the truth of God is and how knowing God can change your life and your life outlook.
In Repairing the Ruins Pearcey talks about how Christian education is important to show students how to repair the world. Education is used for students to seek out answers to world questions of what is happening around them. Without having the Christian knowledge how can they have an compete look at the world and what is happening. They don’t have all the answers needed to make informed decisions in life. Pearcey talks how our creation, our fall, and how we need to redeem ourselves are universal God’s

  • Brent Runyon Burn Journal Quotes

    890 Words  | 4 Pages

    Christianity is one of the most core human ideas shared throughout history, and is thought to save people. We can see Thorfinn following this path in the story, but the author does not place Christianity as the cornerstone of philosophy, but rather, an important perspective. Thorfinn’s use of Christianity and his connection to Stoicism is compelling, and leads him to be a great man without regret. The Burn Journals argues that such faith is not beneficial to become a peaceful, better person. Brent solves many of his issues through simple reflection, and mocks God at some points.

  • Speaking Of Jesus Chapter 3 Summary

    456 Words  | 2 Pages

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

  • Basic Christianity In John Stott's Basic Christianity

    1020 Words  | 5 Pages

    Basic Christianity is a crucial foundation that must be deeply entrenched within the hearts and minds of believers. The essential and basic principles aid every Christian by showing and teaching them how great God’s love is for us. In John Stott’s Book, “Basic Christianity,” he reveals insight on what it is to be a Christian. He also dispels many erroneous teachings that have been brought into the Christian community. Stott states in the beginning of his book that many have held the assumption that God sits on His throne, aloof, distant, and unconcerned for our needs and problems (Stott, pg. 17).

  • More Than A Carpenter Summary

    894 Words  | 4 Pages

    McDowell begins the book with an anecdote of his life; a familiar story of the sceptical university Agnostic, ready to fire back a retort at the slightest mention of God, Christianity, and anything (or anyone) within. He recounted the all too common feeling of a meaningless life, the seemingly innate itch of human existence, and how it brought him to various places in his life—until he stumbled upon a particular group of people and was changed forever. This introduction, though short, is crucial to understand, for it sets the stage for the remainder of the book. It tells not only the story of a former non-believer, but the story of everyone—it presents us the life of Jesus Christ, not as a gentle sermon or a feel-good retelling, but as an assertive, rational reply to the accusation: ‘Christianity is a myth, and so is your God.’

    This is knowledge which grants eternal happiness and meaning cannot be philosophized by the castaway; it must arrive in the form of news, which is the Absolute Paradox. By faith, this news must be heard and heeded. The Christian faith is neither knowledge nor science nor a “miraculous favor which allows one to… believe the impossible” (146). Faith is a form of communication from God, which is delivered by an apostle whose message, while transcendental and paradoxical, is believable and necessary. Jesus, who comes to bring news across the seas does so with authority and steadfastness to the point of martyrdom.

  • Christian Allegory In The Pilgrim's Progress

    Because Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim’s Progress as an allegory rather than a novel, Christian is not represented as particularly complicated or conflicted and has a simple personality. Christian represents just one profound aspect of the human experience: the search for religious truth. He is his faith (hence his name). Christian’s motivation, the search for salvation in the Celestial City, clearly defines him. Christian is deeply goal oriented.

  • Meaning Of Love In Christopher Nolan's Interstellar

    1607 Words  | 7 Pages

    As from theological point of view, this idea resonates with the Christian faith which has always held that love is the key to the universe. According to Christianity, God is love. God creates humanity to love him and love one another and when humanity fails to love as we were designed to, God doesn't give up on humanity and look for a new planet to love [1]. Throughout the movie, there is this battle between love and hatred, selflessness and selfishness, and how every act incited by hatred and selfishness leads humanity that closer to extinction, while every act incited by love and selflessness brings humanity closer to salvation. All the movie was about love being more effective than whatever else.
