...BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW ESSAY Within the bible there are several mentions of how mankind is created in God’s image. This is the foundation to the Christian faith. In the world of Nursing we have to be careful on how we discuss any religion. I have learn throughout the years to just come out and ask a person and to ask them if there is any restriction within their religion as pertaining to the way I as a nurse would take care of them. “The historical biblical account of the creation of Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:26-27) states that God made the first man and woman 'in His own image'” (Grigg, 2015). It is important to set a good example since we have been created in the image of God. Being in the world of nursing I try to be mindful of what I say and do since I am a representation of God. It is always important to show goodness, kindness and to have empathy for those whom you are taking care of. There are many challenges face within nursing from the patients, the patient families and just the overall work environment. I try to remain positive and just let the patient voice what is going on with them. The best form of effective communication is just to listen. I teach them how to keep positive and help them to determine their own outcome. If they are a Christian, I remind them that God is there to help guide them through these times and he will provide an answer. “Hebrews 1:2 tells us that when God made the worlds (KJV) or universe (NIV), He did so by His Son” (Grigg, 2015)...

...XXXXXXXXX Liberty University APOL 104 March 27, 2015 What is a Worldview? Part One: A worldview is how each individual person views the world in a way that is most comfortable for them. It is our decision-making process that results from what we feel in our heart. I view the world with a Christian outlook with the Bible as my foremost guide. I try to make daily decisions based on honesty, faith and truth. Part Two: 1) The Question of Origin I believe what is stated in Genesis 1:1 that all creation started with the power and wisdom of God. Additionally, it is stated in Colossians 1:15-16 that God is the highest power in all creation. He has created all things whether we can see them or not. He created all creatures that walk the earth or soar among the clouds. 2) The Question of Identity God created humans in his own image. He is aware of us at all times; He states in Jeremiah 1:5 that he knew us when we were in the womb, that he sanctified us. I believe he gave us the knowledge to care for lesser animals. He states in Proverbs 27:13 that we should be aware of the health of our animals and see to their needs. 3) The Question of Meaning/Purpose God clearly states in Jeremiah 29:11 that He has a purpose for us. Additionally, He has planned for our care and well-being. God wants us to acknowledge His love. He states...

...BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW ESSAY Anthony Briggs Theology 104-D75 LUO Due Date: April 20, 2015 INTRODUCTION God created mankind in his image and since He is involved in our everyday lives and decision we make, that should be enough foundational belief for any Christian that believes in him. In this biblical worldview essay, I plan to explain how this belief will have a great impact on my career as a psychologist and how it will affect my everyday life once I start my career and the people I will help in the near future. I will also mention the theology of creation and God’s involvement. As it states in Genesis 1:26 (KJV), Then God Said, “let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creping things that creeps on the earth.”” EXAMPLE 1 In this world we live in, we have choices to accept certain religions and worldviews to accept and live our lives and represent that specific religion. As a Christian and a future psychologist/counselor I have to be very mindful of my representation of God and what he expects from me and how I interact with people within my career. As it states in Proverbs 13:10 (KJV), by insolence comes nothing but strife, but with those who take advice is wisdom, and in chapter 15:22 (KJV) it states, Without Counsel Plans fail, but with many advisers they succeeded. I have to believe that God created man in his image in...

...APOL 104 June 2, 2014 Worldview Assignment Every human being has a worldview. They may not know exactly what that is but every person has an idea of how they think about things and what they believe in. Our worldview makes up the way we think, feel, and act upon certain issues in life. The environment in which we are raised has a lot to do with our worldview. Most people gain their way of thinking through the ways their parents think about issues in life. For example, parents can have a certain political party they align with and growing up the child can feel like they lean the same way but after learning and understanding the issues on both sides they can decide to change their minds on which party they feel best suits them. The media and the people that surround them also can have a major effect on a person’s worldview. Music, television, and internet paly important factors in the learning and growing process of children. They can use their popularity to make a person feel a certain way which can make them associate themselves with a crowd or idea. The friends and other people they are in contact with can also affect a person’s worldview. People constantly share ideas and communicate them to each other which can influence the way they think. Hopefully, the media and people they are interacting with have a good message to share so that the person can have a worldview that is inspiring and good in nature. The origin of the universe and of man has long been a question...

...Biblical/Christian Worldview Assignment I. A worldview is the way that we view the world. It is the way that we see things through our own eyes. Our worldview affects the way we answer questions and make decisions throughout our daily lives. II. 1. The Christian worldview trusts that the creator God, created everything out of nothing. He first created the heavens and earth (Genesis 1:1) and then everything that surrounds it. The creator God created us and gave us our breath. (Isaiah 42:5) 2. The Christian worldview believes we were created as a special creation of God and in his image. (Genesis 1:27) Humans were not created below the animals or above the angels, but we were created to be the caretakers of all of God’s creations. (Genesis 2:15) 3. Christians believe the purpose of our lives is to have a personal, loving, intimate relationship with our creator God. Know that he is our Lord and Savior. (Proverbs 3:5) To know God is to be faithful to him, to love him, speak to him and learn about him through the Bible. Christians believe that our almighty God speaks to us through the bible. It’s not just about knowing God, but to let him into our hearts, love him each and every day and know that he is the only God. (John 17:3) 4. Morality and ethics of a Christian worldview is based upon the holy standard of our Lord. This doesn’t mean that we are perfect, because we aren’t. As humans, we were born into sin (Psalm 51:5) and we can’t save ourselves...

...Merriam-Webster defines worldview as “the way someone thinks about the world”. Scientific and religious cultures have very different worldviews, neither of which can be considered right or wrong. II The Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth and everything on earth. Many people try to discredit this fact by trying to discredit the Bible itself or by stating scientific data. In the book of Genesis alone the word, create is mentioned dozens of times to account for the fact that God was creating us and in what order he created the world. Also in Deuteronomy 4:32 there is a mention of God creating humans and the world. Identity is a key part of the Bible. It gives us understanding that we were talking to God and lets us know our place in the world. 1 Corinthians 12:27 is possibly the on that stands out most to me. That verse alone is strong enough to make an entire crowd stop and think about where they stand in Christ and what their identity is life really is. The Bible also states one that is heard a lot in today’s world because of the abortion conflict. Jeremiah 1:5 is used time and time again by prolife activists to show that abortion is not a way of life. For Christians the meaning of life is one of those questions that are usually better answered by themselves than by nonbelievers. They have an understanding on what their purpose of living on earth actually means. Case in point, Jeremiah 29:11 informs people know that there is a future for them after life...

...When you give thought to your perspective and what you believe, what you hold dear, and what you consider truth- you are crediting your worldview. When I think of the term worlview, I think of our individual identities, as well as our perception of what goes on around us. It’s the framework to our thought process and decision-making. Our moral compass, ethics and spiritual affiliation make up our worldview as well. So many things can factor into how we interrupt life events or other people. How we are raised, what’s taught to us in school or at home, or belief systems. All of these impact us on a daily basis. Our decision-making skills often rely heavily on our worldview. When one thinks about theology and faith, in regard to Christianity especially--we understand that our worldview can sometimes be shared with others who believe in the same thing. There are 2.2 billion registered Christians worldwide, nearly a third of the world’s total population (6.9 billion). Lets say that half of the registered Christians are practicing Christians, and for the sake of this point lets assume that half of them try to uphold the teachings and practices of the religion. That would leave 1.1 billion people who in one-way or another share a worldview that is consistent with our own. Christians share several worldviews that are specific to our faith such as Heaven and Hell, God/Jesus/Holy Spirit, for some people knowing that others believe what they do or would approach a situation using a...

...Worldview Assignment February 2, 2014 Part One: A worldview can be described as a summation of all our teachings, experiences and beliefs in this life and how this perception molds and defines our character for the role we play in this world. According to Gutierrez and Weider, it is a response to our heart or inner being; our intellect, emotion and will. It is the total framework that we bring to decision making. (59) A worldview can define our religious beliefs for example, which can ultimately decide how we practice our life. In Christianity for example, telling the truth is a commandment given by God that we are to uphold. This transcends every facet of our life, and what we practice. Whether at work, with friends, family or in our marriages the truth is an integral part that maintains these relationships and is encompassed and dictated by our worldview. Part Two: 1. The Question of Origin: Psalm 139 13:16 best answers “How did life begin?” Or “How did mankind come into existence?” This is again noted by Job in Job 8:10. These scriptures for the Christian worldview clearly describe how and when life began. God is our very creator and the one who breathed life into us in the secret place. 2. The Question of Identity: “What does it mean to be human?” or “Are humans more important than animals?” From the Christian worldview, God is eternal and we are a special creation of God. (67) Ps 8:5 reinforces that belief, stating that we were...

...The Author The Professor APOL 104 The Date Determining a Personal Worldview Part I What is a worldview? One’s worldview is the lens through which you envision your existence. It is conceived, developed and refined over a lifetime of experiences. Personal beliefs, biases, preconceptions, morals and social behavior, among other aspects, are influenced by previous events in your lifetime. A complete biblical worldview is supported by five separate criteria as seen in Part II. Part I word count: 56 Part II Foundational Questions of a Biblical Worldview 1. The Question of Origin: A biblical worldview presupposes, and is plainly stated in Genesis 1:1 (New American Standard Bible) that a one true God exists and that He created everything. Once that assumption is made, it logically follows that we all are of God and belong to God. Psalm 100:3 supports this claim. The question of origin is truly the basis of the Christian faith. 2. The Question of Identity: In Genesis 1:26, God created man and woman in his image and granted humans power over members of the animal world. If man weren’t valued above animals, why would He have sent his only Son to the world as a human? There is, however, value to all things He has created. Matthew 6:26 acknowledges the value of, and love for, animals. 3. The Question of Meaning/Purpose: For ages, man has questioned his reason for existing. We exist to glorify God, as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. A relationship...

...1999; therefore, after I achieve a Bachelor of Science degree, I will focus on a Masters in Human Services Counseling (Crisis Response Trauma) and Public Policy (Administration). I have learned that credentials are extremely instrumental in legislative procedures, particularly in rescinding ineffective laws and establishing new laws. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these (NIV, Matthew 19:14). The Old and New Testament demonstrate abundantly that children are a heritage from God and a crown of the aged (Psalms 127:3; Proverbs 17:6). My interest in the welfare of children guides me to focus on the area of social justice, particularly Gods’ social justice; thus, applying my education and experience to helping the vulnerable.
