...After reading Chapters 1–6 in the McCullough text, answer the reflection questions below. Type directly in the boxes; they will expand as you type. Use complete sentences. Chapter 1 | Q: In your own words, define “godly character” and explain why it is important for a Christian educator to display such.A: Godly character is being like Christ in everyway. This does not mean that you have to be perfect, but strive to think, act and talk like Him. If we do this in all areas of our life we will have Godly character. It is important for a Christian educator to display Godly character, because this will teach the students they are teaching to do the same. If we show students that we love and are willing to help everyone no matter their background, then they will to learn to do the same. This also helps them trust us as teachers and lets them know we have their best interest at heart. We have to gain their trust and having Godly character helps. | Chapter 2 | Q: Respond to question 3 on pg. 32.A: I believe and hope my foundation for my personal life and work life are the same. Sometimes it is hard for me to talk about at work, because I work at a state hospital and there is a lot of diversity. Even though it is hard to talk about I try to let my actions show people what and how I believe. So, if sometimes people do not believe the same way I do, at least they can see something is different and know that it is Christ. | Q: Respond to question 4 on pg. 32.A: I do not think their foundation...

...mean that we as a collective race are imperfect. The idea of human imperfection is not easily explained by science, philosophy or religion. They can all sometimes be too complex to understand. Science exemplifies the human race as a species, philosophy praises human race as thinkers and religion looks at the human race as sinners and how we all must be perfect to please God. Even society tells us we must be perfect in the eyes of the world. We as a human race all possess the trait of imperfection thus making us all the common men among one another in society. The concept of the imperfection of the common man is addressed in many different pieces of literature. In William Shakespeare’s play, Othello, Shakespeare created his characters to depict the...

...a unique manual for the aspiring pastor or church leader in "Pastoral Ministry: How to Shepherd Biblically". The major theme of the writings focuses on the character and development of pastors in accordance with New Testament scripture including: Acts 6, 1 Timothy 2-4, Titus 1, 1 Peter 5. The authors demonstrate through biblical reference and personal experiences the model and character of one prepared for pastoral ministry. The aim of the text is to validate the biblical authority of the ministry, to educate in the biblical qualifications of pastoral ministry, and to outline priorities for the pastoral ministry. Summary John MacArthur and his panel at the Master’s Seminary Faculty separate the twenty chapters presented in the book into four major categories that are designed to provide the reader with a dynamic portrayal of what it takes to be an effective biblical pastor. The four categories transition the reader from the biblical perspective of pastoral ministry to the practical. They include: biblical perspectives of pastoral ministry, the preparatory perspectives of pastoral candidates, personal perspectives of the life of a pastor, and pastoral perspectives for shepherding the people of God. Through the text, we recognize several prominent and consistent themes including: accountability to scripture, the character of a pastor, and leadership. One theme that remains prominent throughout the text is the accountability to scripture. In creating a text that is designed...

...may play a role on how the gamer behaves and how his behavior may have an effect on others. The gamer may apply the rules of video games to every day life. Aggression could be accepted by the characters in the video game but in the real world, aggression is usually not accepted. If the gamer assumes that people in real life will react regarding his actions in the same way as those in the video game, he might become angry and frustrated towards others. Video games can also isolate the gamer from society and make him antisocial. If the antisocial behavior continues, the gamer may not know or may forget how to control his anger in social settings. Another example of environmental factors is the concept of rewards and punishments. (Nevid, 9) The gamer can be rewarded for an action in the video game that he would not be rewarded in real life. When the reward is not the same in real life as it would have been in the video game, aggression can occur. Aggression may continue to persist until he gets his reward. His character in the video game may be...

...Jesus Claims to be God/ Character Development Tamar Brown Theology 104 I. Introduction In the following paper I will discuss the various thoughts and ideas that have been presented thus far in Theology 104. During the course of this class a variety of topics were discussed which in turn gave me a clearer understanding of what it means to be a Christian, about Jesus, as well as a better understanding of the bible itself. In the following I will address two topics for which I feel are imperative to any Christian and to the life thereof. In the first portion I be touch on the subject of Jesus’s claims to be God. I understand this to be the topic of many discussions and disputes among those in religious circles and abroad. In the second portion I will discuss character development. II. Did Jesus claim to be God? a) Explanation of the topic/doctrine We will find that Jesus did in fact make claims to not only being the son of God but, to be God in the form of human flesh. I believe that the most compelling evidence or support to this claim is not so much in what Jesus said about his deity or divinity but, rather in what He did as he walked among men. Jesus has made claims to His divinity, but the proof of His divinity was more in His actions and not in His words. I believe that this speaks clearly concerning our own nature as well as God’s desire to relate to mankind, as sinful human beings. b) Scriptural basis There are many people that question if Jesus every really...

...novel at age six. Though initially educated at home, his wealthy uncles soon realized his potential and enrolled him at a Jesuit Preparatory School (Carr 5). Soon after he graduated to Stonyhurst College he began writing long letters home to his mother and adventure stories that he would read aloud to his classmates. They ended up serving as models for Conan Doyle's most famous characters, in particular two brothers named Moriarty and Sherlock (Person 10). After attending Stonyhurst, he entered Edinburgh University as a medical student in 1876 where he received his medical degree in 1882. In his spare time, however, he began to write stories published anonymously in various magazines (Person 11). In 1885, he married Louise Hawkins and moved to London, where he began his small practice in ophthalmology (Carr 10). His practice, however, remained small since patients were slow in coming. So, Conan Doyle wrote to pass the time. After a few of his short stories were published in famous magazines, he began to seriously devote himself to writing (Carr 12). During this time Conan Doyle created his most famous character, Sherlock Holmes. The detective was first introduced in the 1887 novel, A Study in Scarlet. It was not popular right away, but gained tremendous popularity after Conan Doyle began publishing short stories featuring Holmes in various...

Tsague’s 40-day Coaching Guide is full of many thought provoking passages along with applications that allow you to see what the Lord may have in His plans for you. I am embarrassed to admit that I do not have a strong understanding of the characters of the Bible. One thing that sticks out to me that I learned was; that there were two Josephs within the Bible and the text of the book. Remedial, but understanding there was a Joseph of the old testament and one of the new, allowed me to understand the differences between a Godly man and one whom had to be shown the way to be a Godly man though his trials and tribulations brought upon by the Lord. Joseph of the...

God's best is who he chose to give us in his souvreign plan. We must wait. I know I have to because if I could do this on my own, I would be married already.

This is seen through the unity of the mission praying for Deborah and the continuing love and support that Ron was willing to give to make Deborah’s dreams come true. Overall, it allowed Ron and Denver to care for each other in a new way. In my life, I have to start having faith in God’s ways because they are way higher than my own. I need to begin to realize that even though what occurs in my life doesn’t always line up with my plan, it’s nevertheless a part of God’s ultimate plan. God knows what he is doing, and I need to, as Denver said, “get out the way and let God do his...

...a skill or a day of rigid routines. However, it is about knowledge and developing the child as a whole. Teachers help children learn their place in the world and how to interact in social environments. They have high expectations for their students because they know that Christ created them. Faith influences a teacher’s character; therefore, the teachers show love, joy, and integrity in their work. In this article the author gives a few accounts of teachers that were called to serve in different geographical locations and in different situations. In each situation they served their students with joy and love, furthermore, sharing their faith through actions. I agree with the author’s stance on respecting the legal and ethical boundaries when it comes to religion and public schools. There are many different cultures and beliefs in our schools. Therefore, families trust that teachers will not teach or thrust a set of beliefs they deem as the correct beliefs on their children (Eckert, 2014, p. 21). There are many ways I can show the Gospel of Christ’s love through myself without ever having to argue or preach to someone. One way is to practice godly character by being, honest, sincere, and remaining humble. Another way to show Christ’s love is through actions of love, grace, and joy. When God called me into teaching he gave me a passion and desire to spend my life doing this type of work. The desire gives me a since of joy and love for my work and my students. According to Jonathan...
