A Christian liberal arts education should promote Christlikeness in its students. Because of this, a liberal arts education, especially a Christian liberal arts education, should help us to avoid failing to live each day in the possibility of eternity. Cross believed that his students only lived for the here and now. They were
restaurant of their choice. The way King wanted integration was by nonviolence. Malcolm X wanted integration by any means necessary. There could be many reasons for the thoughts of these two men. In my opinion the way their childhood development could have a lot to do with their thoughts. Martin Luther King Jr. grew up in a very Christian family.

I mentally added the morsel of wisdom she gave me to my ever growing list of advice. “I have two big regrets in my life,” she started, “The first one is I thought I was being Christ-like in high school by being intolerant, and if I tried to influence kids to act perfect, then that was like being a better
Like many young Christians I had never thought of the Bible as an absolute truth. Absolute truth meaning that the lifestyle defined within the pages is the only livable lifestyle to produce any satisfaction. This was so much different than the societal and often religious viewpoint that had been presented to me. I was use to a “studio-produced” lifestyle of money, resources, and good deeds will help you get into heaven. For many Christians that is the definition of Christianity
major blow to turn the course of a life upside down. In Pitcher’s Hands, Curt was the guy who held the standard for a college student. There was nothing to hate about him since he had grown up being infused with Christian morals. In fact, his Christian morals lead him to a volunteer opportunity to help a paraplegic take a bath once a week. It seemed as if Curt was living a model Christian life. Now take Brad from The Voice of the Body into consideration. He was willing to be dragged along to church weekly
shooting that killed nine people and left nine injured. Chris Mintz, a military veteran, heard gunfire Thursday morning at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College; his first thoughts were not to protect himself, but to protect others, especially his son, Tyrik. The shooter, who was unnamed, had four guns in total, and an abundance of amo. The shooter targeted Christians, he even took the life of a disabled person. The assassin spared the life one one person, and gave him an envelope to give to police; what was
plus is only freshman year and things should get better , so i just have to keep developing my relationship with god . Going to a christian college I thought it was going to allow me to close my relationship with God but, so far it hasn't done anything but kind of made me question how strong my faith actually is. Growing up i always heard that you were a good christian if your could hear God , In the book it says rachel has a theological checklist and realized that Jesus was something agreed to
From the moment I walked onto Bryan College's campus, I felt like this is the path God has chosen for me. I thought I had my life planned out. I was going to go to Chattanooga State for two years, transfer to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and then head north to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville for law school. I was going to be a sucessful lawyer and have a wonderful life. Little did i know, things were quickly changing, and my faith would surpass my pre-planned expectaions.
Throughout the movie he improved his grades and was able to play football. Michael was the best tackler, because of him; Wind Gate Christian Acadamy won a lot of games. Many coaches from different colleges wanted him to choose their school, just because he was a great tackler. Each coach came to their house and had interviews. He ended up choosing…….Ole’ Miss!

never been really into going to concerts. As a kid, my parents would bring me to a Christian concert festival every year, but I was never really into it. Most of the time I would just find some friends that were there and go away from the concert, to the playground, and hang out. It is not that I dislike music, I just have never thought it was necessary to go to a concert. On one of the first days here at Hope College, I saw that there was a concert going to be put on by a man named Ben Rector. I just
