...Theology Reflection Paper I. Introduction. Throughout the course of this class, my understandings of the bible and its principles have grown to new lengths. I have always been a serious follower of the Christian faith but I have taken the teachings I have received in the realm of acceptance. The ideas that are brought about in the readings have allowed me to digest the concept that my faith is backed by truth, proof and evidence. Taking what I have learned in the past and directing my newly found information, I have learned that it is okay to think critically about my faith. While thinking about the bible and how applicable its relation to the world is, I have found that I trust my faith even more. The ideas that have made me think differently about being a Christian are compound. I have been able to think critically which has allowed me to find new ways to explore my faith and prove its presence. II. Part One: Enlightenment of Faith a. Theological Definition The Theological definition of faith is one that describes an almost certain idea that although one may be entirely confused, if they have faith, guidance will be delivered through many types of faith. Now this concept contains many facets and although there are many ways that faith can be displayed, it is most evident that faith is derived from the teachings in the bible itself. b. Biblical Foundation “The source and foundation of all faith is the Bible,” (Towns, 1). Knowing...

...Christopher Betts SPC 2023 Personal Reflection Essay When it came to preparing for the introductory speech, I had to spend a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to share to the especially when most of them did not know me whatsoever. After long and hard thinking about the objects I wanted to bring in that would help reflect myself to the class I came up with three really good things in the end that ended up telling a lot about myself. I also have to admit I felt some anxiety before giving the speech to the class even though I feel as if I do not have much anxiety when it comes to speaking. I think the anxiety came from giving information about myself to a room full of people whom I am not familiar with. The thought of having a good first impression in front of all my classmates is where I believe most of the anxiety came from but after the first time getting through it I never found that to be the problem with the rest of my speeches. I have to admit that my public speaking skills have not gotten better as the more speeches were assigned. I am very disappointed in myself that I am currently not where I should be, especially being a senior in college. I need to prepare more thoroughly before speeches and make sure everything is not only organized on paper but in my head which involves having to practice over and over again by reciting my speech before class. I think this would help my speeches go smoother. I also need to pick topics to speak about that interest me...

...Takako Hirokawa, Noah Finkelstein, and H. J. Lewandowski† Department of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309 (Dated: March 4, 2014) In response to national calls to better align physics laboratory courses with the way physicists engage in research, we have developed an epistemology and expectations survey to assess how students perceive the nature of physics experiments in the contexts of laboratory courses and the professional research laboratory. The Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS) evaluates students’ shifts in epistemology and affect at the beginning and end of a semester. Also, at the end of the semester, the E-CLASS assesses students’ reflections on their course’s expectations for earning a good grade. By basing survey statements on widely embraced learning goals and common critiques of teaching labs, the E-CLASS serves as an assessment tool for lab courses across the undergraduate curriculum and as a tool for PER research. We present the development, evidence of validation, and initial formative assessment results from a sample that includes 45 classes at 20 institutions. We also discuss feedback from instructors and reflect on the challenges of large-scale online administration and distribution of results. I. INTRODUCTION Laboratory courses offer significant opportunities for engagement in the practices and core ideas of science. Laboratory course environments typically have apparatus, flexible...

...Holly K. Ballowe Professor Benjamin Quinn Theology 104 5 March 2015 Reflection Paper 2 I. Introduction Throughout this entire course, I have definitely received a better understanding of Scripture. Not only has my faith strengthened, God has also been working a miracle in my life. In this particular essay, my goal is to discuss the effects of prayer, as well as reconciliation. II. Part One a. Theological Definition The theological definition of prayer, according to the Web Bible Encyclopedia is “a conversation with God; the intercourse of the soul with God, not in contemplation or mediation, but in direct address to him”. b. Biblical Foundation The words pray or prayer is mentioned in the Old and New Testament a total of 313 times. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 God even states, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” c. Practical Application Since I became a believer in 2007, I constantly have been trying to have a better prayer life. However, in November 2012, my prayer life became number one in my life. Without going into too much detail, I began dating a guy whom my parents did not approve of. During this time, when my parents’ relationship with me was shattered, God began to give me strength to seek Him with my decision as to whether or not to continue seeing this young man. I sought after not man’s wisdom, but God’s alone and over a year’s time, God began to give...

...Writing Critical Response Papers: An Introduction A critical response paper is not too different from other types of essays that you might have written before. Like all papers it arises as the result of a process of personal reflection. Your Reader: You must assume that your reader is already familiar with the text that you are writing about. It is someone who has read it and understands it at an average level. Your Aim: Your goal is to advance your reader’s level of understanding by revealing to her/him a deeper aspect of meaning. This would be something that confirms a given interpretation, enhances it, makes it more complex, or challenges it. Coming up with a topic (brainstorming): As a writer, you can begin by asking yourself questions and then answering them. Your answers will bring your subject into focus and provide you with the material to develop your topic. See the following handout: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/general/gl_plan3.html Having generated a list of ideas, your next step is to organize those ideas in relation to other ideas; that is, to group similar ideas with other similar ideas. If you have written your ideas on cards, all you need to do is to reorganize them into a logical order. A logical order, is one that is easy for the reader to follow. The Topic and the Thesis: A topic would remain an unfulfilled promise of knowledge if it were not by the delineating virtues of a thesis. A thesis statement informs the readers of the...

...THEO104: Module Seven Reflection Essay Title Page 1 THEO104: Module Seven Reflection Essay Michelle A. Woycitzky Liberty University THEO104: Module Seven Reflection Essay 2 I. Introduction To define yourself as a Christian is to believe in God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the text of the Holy Bible. Many believers think that this is all it takes to be welcomed into Heaven and enjoy the afterlife in peaceful bliss with their maker. Much of what has been learned in this class these past two months has given me the opportunity to explore Christianity beyond face value, as it should be explored. The true model Christian delves into the inner workings of the scripture and promotes the promises made by God when one lives their life as a messenger of that scripture. Education is the only way to make a person aware of what it truly means to be a Christian. In reflecting on the concepts learned in this class, a series of questions were presented, three chosen, then answered on the basis of what I have learned. The first question I chose was, Does the Bible have authority? Through the Doctrine of the Bible and arguments that the Bible is the Word of God, this question will be answered along with the information in Towns book. Secondly, I chose, Why are personal testimonies important in sharing the gospel? This topic was of great interest to me because I am capable of explaining it...

...Reflection. The conversion of the sinner THEO 104-B04 Troy Temple September 16, 2013 Introduction Who is Jesus Christ and how does believing in him affect so many people. Many people will tell you that you must believe in God to save your soul for eternity. How do people truly know that God is real, and how was the Bible written over hundreds of years, how can people be so trusting in something he or she has never seen. So how is Christianity so different from the Wiccan religion? These are questions that I started to ask myself once I start this class. Both religions started out the same, giving people something to believe in. Doctrine of Christianity The book of Genesis states that in the beginning God created the heavens and earth. Then God said let there be light: and light was good (Genesis 1:3). It was the old testament of the Bible prophecies that causes mankind to believe in God and the Bible. Versus Prophesied all nations would be blessed through one special descendant or seed of Abraham. Jews and Gentiles alike are blessed when they accept Jesus a descendant of Abraham as their Savior (Matthew 1:1). The holy Bible contains 66 books and was written over a period of 1,600 years (Towns, 2007). Whereas the Bible is spread out all over the world, and in many different languages, but still holds true to the message. However, the Bible was written by mortal men that contained sin inherited from Adam just like everyone else. Therefore when...

...Theology 104-D14 Jenna Erickson Reflection Paper 1 04/13/2015 I. Introduction Upon sitting down at my desk to write this Reflection paper, I had to put a lot of time and thought into which topics I wanted to discuss and go further in-depth with. Knowing where I stood throughout much of my life, and then in the beginning of this class I have decided upon the topics of Doubt and Reconciliation. I believe these two topics can go hand-in-hand with each other. Doubt being first, but then overcoming that obstacle and then seeking reconciliation for the previous doubt. I will tackle these topics in the order in which I believe they happen, and then discuss how this relates to myself and how this class has helped me get to this point, having gained a better understanding of the scriptures. II. Part One – Doubt a. Theological Definition People can doubt many things throughout their life; people, claims, objects, time, situations and sometimes even facts. While there are many people who do not stray or question their faith in God or Jesus Christ, there are still also many that do continue to retain doubts. Doubt is not fully a bad thing with faith because it is a person trying to make logical sense of the stories and teachings by weighing evidence, and in turn doing further research to which gives us a deeper understanding of our faith and belief. Doubt helps keep us from making fast judgements or conclusions, poor choices, trusting inconsistent people or sources and much more...

...SHAWN MORRIS’S REFLECTION PAPER INTRODUCTION My topics I will be addressing are Bible Study & Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I chose these topics due to nature of the subjects, what I was reading and learned over the past few weeks in Theology 104. I will give a full analysis of what I have read & implemented in my everyday life as I move forward in this class. TOPIC 1: BIBLE STUDY The Theological Definition of Bible Study: Bible theology is an attempt to articulate the theological aspects that the Bible contains as its writers addressed their particular settings. It is also the study of the Bible that seeks to discover what the biblical writers, under divine guidance, believed, described, and taught in the context of their own times. The Biblical Foundation of Bible Study: are the doctrines & teachings found in the Word of God that Christians cherish the most. These doctrines or teachings are taught very precisely from the word of God. There’s some examples; the virgin birth of Christ, the second coming of Christ, the preservation of the Word of God, & the atonement of our sins. The Practical Application of Bible Study: From the theological definition & the biblical foundation of Bible Study I’m taking in to consideration I am more about the studying habits set forth in learning about the Word of God. I see it along with my fellow classmates in this course how we can all grow closer to God knowing what Christ the Son did for us when he gave his life...
