Part One: The Leader
The Important Things When I graduate Liberty, I am going to be some excited to lead worship for a living. Ever since the 6th grade, I knew that God was calling me into ministry, especially the worship ministry. When I started to lead worship for my youth ministry and my school I felt always satisfied leading worship. While I was leading worship I knew that this is what God called me to and whenever I was given the opportunity lead I always took it, because I always loved to lead people into worship. Once I get a job as a worship pastor I know there will be some things that I never expected and struggles that come my way. One of the struggles that I think I’m going to face is doubting if I will ever be good enough. …show more content…

It is not my right to go on stage and lead people into a time of worship with God if my heart is not in the right place. If your heart is not in the right place with God, it would be better to stay off stage and not even sing or do music. I need to make it my goal to build a better relationship with Christ. I truly believe that if my walk with Christ is not getting stronger each and every day then surely my walk with Christ is getting weaker. There is no middle ground either it’s getting better or worse. Therefore I am striving to spend time in God’s word and in prayer every day so that my walk with Christ is getting better and better. My relationship with Christ is the most important thing and I never want to think that my relationship is getting …show more content…

Having an idol will be a hindrance with my relationship with Christ. An idol is something that I put above God. Having the right heart, I need to make sure nothing becomes before God, because if it does I have an idol in my life that I need to get rid of. As a kid, my idol was video games. I would play them constantly and I let my grades slip and my walk with Christ slip. Once I figured out what was happening I knew what I needed to do. I need to spend more time with Christ and less time on games. At first, it was hard to stop playing for a while but then it continually got easier. Then I noticed my grades were getting better and also my walk with the Lord was getting better. I like what Kauflin said, “What we love most will determine what we genuinely worship.” In my walk with Christ, I desire to love Him above all things because I want to genuinely worship Him. I do not want to have a fake relationship with Christ, but one where my heart is in the right place so that I can show others the love of

Of The Book Crazy Love: Overwhelmed By A Relentless God?
2394 Words | 5 Pages
The book “Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God” by Francis Chan is book for those who want more from their relationship with Jesus. He wants us to really think about our relationship and see whether or not we are giving off good or bad fruit, what can we do to really deepen our relationship with Jesus. Coming into college I had no idea what to expect, but I knew one thing, that I was not going to lose myself and my faith to college and my social life. In life we do not really have control of the many things we do or the obstacles that we face, but this, my faith, I did. I decide whether my faith and my relationship with Jesus was going to exceed or was I going to fail him. But as the weeks went by, I saw myself distancing from the one thing that made me happy, that fulfilled me grow darker and slimer by the days. I want to get out of this rut, this place where I am not happy that even when the sun shines my days are dull and full of darkness, this is why I need to fix my relationship with God. I need to

Over the course of this class I feel like I have become a much better writer. When I go back and look at some of my Journal entries and assignments that I did at the beginning of the semester, I can’t help but tense up at some of the things I wrote. Sometimes the things I was writing didn’t flow well, or I might have even have missed glaring grammar mistakes.

As we walk in love with our Father, we will also seek to honor and obey Him (John 14:15, 23). As an earthly father will instruct his children so that they may learn and adopt his values, so God instructs us. We will become more like Him- loving what He loves and hating what He hates. Therefore,

As a second language learner I have never expected myself to be a perfect writer throughout the semester. Even If English was my first language still, I would not be a perfect writer.

I am going to be honest, I am not good at English subject and English subject is my strongest weakness than the other subjects. In this paper I will discuss and analyze my own writing, reflecting on the ways that my writing has improved throughout the semester.

Analysis Of Acts
1143 Words | 3 Pages
...t I want people to be changed by the ways that I have shared my spiritual gifts and Christ's love. I may not speak in tongues or be a teacher, but I can teach through my actions and words and exercise my gifts by showing genuine concern for people. In my short-lived career, I have recognized the truth in an important concept taught in Acts. That is, those who aren't supported by God fail. Judas was an example of his failure to God due to going against God's law. Acts serves to show that many people fall into temptations. I have learned that many people currently lose their jobs or families as a result--all because of one mistake. As a Christian, I want to stress the importance, in not falling into temptations, to other people. In my career and every other area of life, I want to continue pursuing Christ through the trials and tribulations, as well as the good times.

Personal Narrative: Martin Luther King Jr.
507 Words | 2 Pages
The crazy thing about my faith is I wasn't always a christian and when I rebelled against God I went through hell. The one summer during high school I was forced to go to church camp even though I didn't believe anymore, but this changed my walk with Christ. I finally made my way back to Christ because I wanted to have a personal relationship with him; not because this was out of obligation to my parents. I use my musical talents by singing in my church’s praise team. I plan and teach a youth lesson because I like to preach the word of God. Also I believe when God has something in place for a person that person works to the fullest to make things happen.

Spiritual Awakening
1541 Words | 4 Pages
I’d like to state the most obvious observation that I’ve made about spiritual formation; that is that I will always need to be seeking for ways to nurture my personal spirituality throughout my life. I know that to most people this may sound like a “duh” statement, but for me it has truly become a reality and one that I must admit I have been struggling to embrace. I was brought up in a church that, like most traditional churches, stayed happy living in the “comfort zone” of their Christianity. They took everything that the Bible said at face value without digging in to find out why they believed what they believed. I had never been challenged to look deeper into the text. In the past few years I have felt the need to tunnel out of this cave of what I feel is best labeled “Christian ignorance”. In the process though, I have had to come to terms with letting go of the things that brought me comfort and provided me with what I thought it took to have a close relationship with God. Some of those things were tangible. Most were not. The things that were the least tangible actually ended up being the hardest to let go of.

My Rule Of Life Essay
1000 Words | 2 Pages
Focusing in on the commitments that I have made will place order and hierarchy in my life so that God may work in it as He pleases. I want to fully commit my life and vocation to God so that His glory may be seen in every aspect. Since the most important thing to God is building His kingdom by constantly bringing home His children, I plan to order my life in such a way that allows me to be a blessing to others. To live a sacrificed life means giving up things that this world labels as riches. Living for others and with others is the way lived His life and Jesus knew that He was modeling it for the generations to come. We cannot do life or ministry alone as we do not and are not able to possess all of the spiritual grace gifts. This sacrificed life indeed requires a disciplined life and a genuine commitment to fulfil God’s will in our

Essay On World Class Christian
857 Words | 2 Pages
... Christ is our savior. It is by sin that we face difficulties in being faithful Christians but only through Christ that we grow spiritually. Also we can see the importance of having faith in the field of work and the power of prayers that can assist you in your life as a messenger of God and how you develop yourself to know and be ready for the second life that is eternal life. Anfenson-Vance (1988) states that there is nothing in this world that we can do alone but with God we can do anything. Therefore it is important to converse with God in prayer and by faith to successfully overcome our burdens. So from there we can learn how important to have faith in us as young people. Prayer is one of the main concepts of faith and without prayer you cannot converse with God and share with him the work you did and the stress you face in your life as a servant of God.

My View Of God Essay
756 Words | 2 Pages
My heart yearns for deep relationships with His people so that we can care for one another, reflect His image better if we are doing it together, be in unity as Christ prayed for us in John 17:21 and what Peter calls us to in 1 Peter 3:8. Because when we show Christ’s love to one another, His love is seen. Christ stated in John 13:34-35, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Although I never love the way He asks and requires me to, and I never will on this side of heaven due to my flesh, I long to please my King. In David Powlison’s article, Who is God? he states, “Never forget that you have someone to bring to the people you counsel.” He also stated, “The motive is not personal convenience, or success in interpersonal relations, or self-reformation. The motive is to know the Lord. Good principles gutted of the Lord -deChristified, to put it clumsily but precisely – can only function as some form of self-serving.” Another way of stating this is not to strip the indicative away from the imperative. That is how I long to take my view of God and live it out in
