Christian Essays

have always know, is Christianity. I grew up in the church, in the church community, and it was all I knew for the majority of my life. Christianity is the largest religion in the world today and it is centered on Jesus Christ (Anderson, 2014). The Christian worldview says that there is a personal God who is perfect in all of His ways. While we have a loving God who is perfect in all of His ways, we humans went against our Creator, corrupted ourselves, and placed ourselves under His judgement. Another

This essay considers faith and reason with a focus on the conflicting viewpoints of Christian exclusivism and Christian universalism. It is worth to take a moment to figure out whether the Bible or other sources related to Christianity reveal any indication of God’s view on non-believers before understanding these two different perspectives. If Christians are asked whether they are living by faith or reason, it would be difficult to answer clearly. The conservative’s view on ‘whether non-believers

Present the truth of the Christian worldview Even with possession of technical excellence, authenticity to the human condition, and mind pricking topics, without the presence of truth of the Christian worldview it isn 't classified as good Christian art. Jacques Martian clearly defines what christian art is in his essay “Christian Art,” “I mean Christian art in the sense of art which bears within it the character of christianity…. Christian art is defined by the one in whom it exists and by

see or expect to see” (Druly). I can agree that I am biased when it comes to my Christian worldview, but it has shaped me to be the person I am today. Although, I did not grow up with the strong “core theology” of a Christian worldview in the world. I do believe that there can be supernatural explanations for things and

Growing up Christian without knowing the history of Christianity is like reading a novel without knowing the setting or genre. Sure, you can get the main points of the story, but you can’t really understand the significance of the events until you can understand how the world changed the characters and the characters changed the world they lived in. Religion doesn’t live in its own isolated little box. Every religion is shaped by the culture it exists in, and it also shapes the culture around it

The Christian worldview is about God’s desire to fix a broken relationship between Him and humans, His beloved creation. Humans rebelled against God and cannot save themselves because of their sinful nature. God is a perfect, holy, and righteous God, who cannot tolerate sin and evil. Numbers 14:18 (NIV) says, “The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and

Christian faith was slowly evolving during the middle ages in Europe. The most common principle of Christian faith in medieval Europe revolved around the belief that everything comes from God and is part of a greater plan. As the Christian faith grew more powerful in medieval Europe, forms of non-Christian religions were banned and frowned upon. “Beowulf” is an ancient Germanic story about a respected pagan hero, even though it is the work of a Christian poet. During this time, the idea of a Christian

My worldview is based on a religious background as I am Christian and therefore live my life according to the bible. Racism, prejudice, and reconciliation are indeed painful conversations. We often talk about reconciliation that is important between God and humanity but what about reconciliation that is important between individuals? Are people of society really born racist or are they actually taught to be racist by their fellow peers and parents? The answer to this question is found in the quote

It is with certainty that a Christian Worldview can be applied to the humanitarian efforts of child advocacy. Jesus, the greatest humanitarian who ever walked on this planet, made it abundantly clear that children are a blessing; ergo, they are to be taught the ways of the Lord and protected (Matthew 18:12-14: Mark 10:13-16: Luke 18:15-17). Christians are admonished to take an interest in the welfare of widows, orphans, the disabled, seniors, and others who of a lower socioeconomic background (Jeremiah

themes between the letters to the seven churches in chapters 2-3 and the rest of the book of Revelation. The common themes are Jesus Christ the person; the Judge, the Redeemer, and victorious King and instructions for the Christians. There are four parts to the instructions for Christians. A) “Prophecy. Most of the book predicts events future to John’s day, especially those of the end of time.” (Jensen 1981, p. 497). B) “Historical perspective.” History according to how God designs it and the outcome the

interpreter of Jesus’ mission and as one of the most important and influential figures in Christian history. In 2010, about 37% of Christians resided in the Americas, 26% residing in Europe, 24% residing

Historiographers can thereby classify history when it comes to categories for example a Christian historiography or even an Ancient Greek historiography. This gives the historiographer to search for trends in historical writing in a certain framework that illuminates a certain means of writing history. As an example, Christian history will suggest there is some very nice intend to historical events in its increased exposure of the existence of God, while Marxist history suggests an appropriation

Christian Dress: Does God Care about the Dress You Put on? Christian dress does not have a specific design or style, but it has some specific features. These features differentiate the Christian dress from the worldly dress. It might interest you to know that the value of the global textile mills market totaled 668 billion dollars in 2015. The textile mills market includes yarns and fabrics. It is predicted to reach 843 billion dollars in value in 2020. Also, the value of the global apparel market

It seems that whenever something is labeled Christian in today's culture it immediately suffers credibility. If a good mechanic is somehow known as a good Christian mechanic, that would cause for some eyebrows to go up. The proposition for two things that are diametrically opposed, or to be seen in one light or even as one thing is very interesting to me. This is the case when it comes to the Christian faith and the field of Psychology. How could these two things exist in harmony and work together

For this excursion I experienced the local and historic Christian Science Society in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This society was created on July 22, 1908, by local Christian Scientists; some of which included the town founders, James and Margaret Crawford. After using a variety of meeting locations, the building which is still used today was built in 1934 of logs on a rubble rock foundation. Yet, the regulations of the Christian Science churches and societies entail that none can be officially

The texts are understood to pertain to a group of early Christians, the Gnostics; ultimately, support the teachings consistent with ‘esoteric knowledge’ of spiritual truths. Accordingly, one highly controversial belief within this doctrine teaches that it is critical for one to gain certain ‘knowledge,’ asserting

The Christian Sociological parts, have influenced each other in the past. Christian churches in U.S. society still maintain importance because "approximately 80 percent of Americans...identify themselves as Christian; many of the new immigrants in fact are Christian, e.g., those from Haiti, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Central America" (Caiazza, 2010, p. 190). In terms of their role in the Christian Sociological model, Stuckenberg (1880) holds that the individual "in society is a representative of Christ

Christian leadership is about caring for the poor and UN healthy. The following leaders have shown that they have good Christian leadership skills. The first leader that I will be talking about is Mother Mary, also known as Mother Mary of the cross Mackillop, or by her formal name Mary Mackillop. I will then be talking about John Bede Polding and Catherine Mc Aueley and how they showed Christian leadership skills. Mary Mackillop was born on 15 January 1842 in Fitzroy Melbourne. As the eldest of eight

does not describe a specific activity of the church, but the very essence and the identity of the church as it takes up its role in God’s story in the context of its culture and participates in God’s mission to the world. The mission of God in the world is vast. So he has called and commissioned a people-originally the descendants of Abraham, now a multinational global community in Christ. And it is through the whole of those people that God is working his mission purposes out in all their diversity

This trend always accelerates in times when Faith is weakened and religion comes under attack. This allows the anti-Christian forces the opportunity to challenge church authority, ridicule their values and create open mistrust of the clergy. Rather than focus on unpopular decisions and the weakness of a few human representatives of the church, the faithful must always keep
