Faith like potatoes/TV shows Every day I look forward in coming home to relax and watch TV shows, Haves and haves not, Crime shows like Law and Order: Criminal Intent, and one of my best movie faith like potatoes When I saw faith like potatoes, in the summer of 2011, it surprising that I fell in love with it. I was basically living it. I had recently graduated from high school in 2010 and had spent five exhausting months doing nothing but watching tv, Facebook, eat all day and been sober. Although I was going to college in January, was waiting for schools to resume. However, chatting with my friends and watching tv was my only way of not been sober and frustrated. Outside of Tv,

For those who have not seen the film, Faith like potatoes is based on a farmer and his family who had everything; he was on an average wealth life style. Although had no faith in God, he was a Christian but his faith in Christ was not strong even though he had a wife who believed in Christ. I saw myself in this farmer because I felt everything was over in my life. In this movie faith like potatoes it was a rugged South African farmer, Angus Buchan, who wrestles with faith, hope, natural disasters and tragic personal loss. He had everything a beautiful home and family until his home was burnt down and he lost everything, Angus Buchan felt God was mean and wicked or does not love him. I saw myself in this movie because at age 13 I was lost my mum and felt everything was gone; life became hard because people true self was revealed. My brother and my father where all I had left, took me a year to realize my mother was no more and never coming back. My faith in God dropped; it felt he never loved me that is why he took my mummy.

    The first thing we must understand is the definition for Worldview, which the simple definition is the way you view the world. So the way that we see the world through our eyes and a heart is going to determine the view that we have of the world.

Even though Romans is not a complete worldview or a Christian worldview it certainly directs us in the right way of how we should view the world.…

As is taught by Christianity, you may be successful in this world without God, but there will always be that Christ shaped empty space in your heart that only God himself may fill for any one person to be happy.…

This statement is closely related to the Law of Legacy and very relevant to being a leader in the modern business world. The statement only consists of a few words, but these words are very powerful and if this statement is followed, your reputation as a leader will be respected and hopefully emulated. The statement is, “Lead by example, do what is right, be the best you can be, and treat others the way you would like to be treated.”…

    A worldview is an individual’s judicious model of truth by which they evaluate the world around them. This standard is the culmination of all life experiences attained through both conscious and subconscious action, and is the unified context by which we judge every aspect of our lives. This model acts as a template against which we attempt to frame all interaction, and much like a colored looking glass, it defines the manner in which we both interpret our interactions and responsibly invest in society in return.

If someone tells you to love your neighbor, and yet they turn around and do the opposite, what type of message are they sending? A true Christian follows and abides by God's rules for the sake of growing closer to God, not to look good.…
