Faith in my Heart
I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:11). When I think about that passage it reminds me of my childhood. Growing up in the house of the Lord gave me an insight of how the afterlife would be when I parish from this earth. The way I was taught about the Bible gave me a better understanding of the goodness of the Lord. This has helped me in my life to be more giving to others and to cherish family.
In (John 3:16) “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that we could have everlasting life.” This gave me the understanding, that no matter what I am going through in life and all the things that I may have to give up for someone else is for a good cause. Having this faith in my heart makes me feel very spiritual. I have never had any doubt the Lord existing in this world. When I am lonely, depress, or stressing about things I have no control over, I know I can call on the Lord to get me through these emotions that I am experiencing.
I have never seen a vision of the Lord, but, I do believe in a higher power. Having this faith keeps me physically and spiritually attached to the Lord. Some may question my faith being that I have never seen the Lord, but, I grew up praising his Holy name and I shall do so until the day I parish from this earth. This is my faith and I could careless to what others may feel or think about it. We all have some type of Holy Devine we worship in our

    Within the Christian worldview, there are essential elements that are reflected upon the Christian faith. The Christian worldview put ultimate value and worth on God, as He is the creator of all things. With that, the Christian worldview puts anything before God (DiVincenzo, 2015)). The followers of God were supposed to live their lives according to wisdom under God’s kingly reign (DiVincenzo, 2015). The Christian worldview does come from faith and belief, and there is a requirement of a clear understanding of Christianity (Harvey, 2008). This paper will describe the essentials of the Christian worldview, and how God’s image is highly influenced of the Christian faith.…

    Through His Word we can know our God and have thoughts about who He is. In a thoughtful desire to pursue truth there becomes a right and a wrong way of thinking about God, allowing us to discern heresy from sound theology. In his book God Talk, Randall J. VanderMey states that “close attention to Christian language— its possibilities as well as its poverties—can open the mind, reawaken wonder and strengthen faith” (VanderMey 16). It is important that we examine how prioritizing feelings over thoughts has affected our relationships with God. Instead of thinking thoughts about God and desiring to have knowledge about God, we prioritize feeling His presence and when we don’t feel His presence, we doubt His omnipresence. However, when we seek out truth about who God is—the thoughts about God that are written for us in Scripture— these thoughts about God become our thoughts, which in turn can produce feelings. How much more deep and rewarding is the feeling that we can attribute to…

    As Christians we often believe certain things simply because it’s what our parents and the people around us believe. We often go about our Christian walk without ever giving thought or reason to why we believe what we do. The world of Christian Theology is a place where Christians can find answer to the ‘what and why’ of Christianity. If we are able to begin comprehending Christian Theology and the rudimental knowledge of it, then we can take it with us into more in depth books and discussions about theology, know the importance of it and how vital it is for Christians to actually know what and why they believe specific things…

    When I read this phrase it picked up my attention right away because I am a true believer that God always help us and never is going to leave us alone but, at the same time, I believe it is our job to be smart and choose the best choice. When I was 18 years old, God opened a door so I came to United States to play Soccer and to get a scholarship. Before that opportunity, I was not very close from Christ and never went to church and read the bible very often. Being here, I meet great people, the family that I stay with help me to get closer to God and I started going every Sunday to church and reading the bible more often. Since that moment, God is more present in my life and working through my life showing me His intimate love. With Christ being in my heart, my life has grown stronger and I try to follow His way the best that I can. The NIV of Proverbs 3:5-6 states, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; acknowledge Him and He will make you path straight.”…
