Candlewood Research Paper
Josh went to church with his parents almost every weekend since he was three. After college life, people at his age gradually erase church event in his or her schedule. Josh started to think whether he believes in Jesus just because of his parents. Finally, Josh realized that the worship helps him a lot and awoke from this confusion. This experience updates my impression and knowledge about Christianity. I still remember the songs that were played in Candlewood, insightful points that given by pastor, nice people, and the loyal, sacred atmosphere. After this first time experience, I do have new aspects about Christianity, but I don’t think I have the same feeling as Christians do when I visit there again. The religious belief is formed

    CBU Personal Statement

    All my life, I’ve struggled with my relationship with God, often growing to the point where I wanted to give up on it altogether. With age, my faith became more unstable and I wondered why things happened the way it did, and how God’s hand was in the midst of all the chaos I was experiencing in my life. On Spring Preview day, I experienced one of the most life changing interactions with God, one that permanently changed my relationship with him forever. For a long period of time, I had been drifting away from God. Ironically, that specific service was targeted on faith, and how it was easy to question something so essential to our relationship with Him. Despite going to church twice a week, that one single service inspired me to rekindle my faith in God. Through attending CBU, I hope to develop a closer relationship with God. I aspire to become a…

    Donald Miller's 'Confession Booth'

    The scene on my poster board is set at Reed College, the college that is notorious for being the place that students are most likely to ignore God. The college was then celebrating Ren Fayre, a weekend where the campus is shut down exclusively so that the students can spend the weekend getting high and drunk. The author, Donald Miller, along with a few friends have decided on building a booth that was to be labeled “Confession Booth”, its purpose was so that students can come in and hear about Jesus’ unfailing love and not for them to actually confess their sins. Surprisingly, the booth actually becomes the beginning of many students on campus turning to God. The main point in the book that the author is trying to convey is not necessarily<…

    Jayber Crow Research Paper

    At the age of 10, Jayber’s life had been turned upside down. His aunt Cordie died, and he had no other relatives, so he was placed in The Good Shepherd orphanage. While at the orphanage, Jayber felt that he had been called into the ministry. After being orphaned at such a young age with nowhere to call home, he may have been looking too hard for a place to fit in or a place that he belonged. This could have led him to believe that he had been called to preach. He started pre-ministry at Pigeonville College, but before long he had started questioning his own beliefs and found himself wandering around looking for answers and a place to call home.…

    Religious Autobiography Of This Is Water By David Foster Wallace

    For a lot of families Sunday is the most important day of the week, mine included. At least it was the most important day of the week when I was younger. When I was in elementary school, my family had a Sunday ritual: my mom would cook breakfast, we would go to 10:30 mass and then go to my great-grandmother’s nursing home with my extended family. As I got older and my great-grandmother passed away, we started to go to church less and less, only going to mass about two times a month. As my brother started growing up, our attendance declined even more as my parents often traveled out of town for his basketball, baseball, and football tournaments, making it hard to be present at Sunday mass. For the past couple of years, we have only been going on holidays. With my grandparents being very religious, they do not approve of how little my immediate family and I go to church.…

    J. Tillman

    So I guess I wasn’t really surprised last year, when I cyber stalked my new favourite musician and discovered that he, like my mother, had grown up in a hardcore Evangelical household. Unlike my mother, Joshua Tillman was born in Rockville, Maryland, which doesn’t tempt children with sin in the same way a big city like Toronto can. He was so isolated, that in 1991, at the age of ten, Tillman announced that he wanted to be a pastor, simply because that was the closest thing he knew to performing.…

    Personal Narrative: Southern Baptist Religion

    My earliest memories of a religious service was the first time we stepped foot into the new church. There was just something even at a young age didn’t seem quite right with me. I can remember the first time that I stepped foot into the sanctuary, I was fascinated that the boards in the sanctuary was in different colors. The pulpit was set up in such a way that even as a kid, I could tell that it was going to be extremely strict and uninviting.…

    My Visit to a Jewish Synagogue

    To begin, I was nervous about attending a service for a faith to which I did not belong and which was not even part of my heritage. Previously when I had attended Baptist worship, I had gone along or with a member of my family, who belonged to the church. I wasn’t sure how people of a different religion would react to having someone who was not of their faith visiting their place of worship. However, as soon as we walked into the synagogue, the people there were very friendly and not at all unused to having visitors. There was a collection of pamphlets set out for anyone unfamiliar with the Jewish religion and with Sabbath services and there were nametags for us to wear. The people were very friendly, asking us if we would like to know anything more about the synagogue. There were people standing in small groups too talking and catching up with the happenings of the week before.…

    On his walk across America, Peter had many ups and downs. One of the ups was Peter meeting the black family in North Carolina. The best part of staying with that family was that every Sunday they would all dress up and go to church. “When I was a young boy, church was good for coloring books, building blocks, and games but I don’t remember any “praise the lauds,” clapping or shouting for joy.” “Instead of making me drowsy the soul igniting sermon woke my inner being that had been asleep for twenty two years.”…
