The Christian psychology (CP) approach to counseling espoused by Langberg (2012) is predicated on two presuppositions with the first being “…knowledge and understanding of the personality of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ” (p. 111) as an imperative and the second being that “…any Christian clinician should be steeped in the knowledge of the Word of God, both written and made flesh in Jesus Christ” (p. 112). Furthermore, those practicing CP should exhibit specific characteristics such as being mindful
“Don’t let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace “– Dalai Lama Today, at many organizations revenue is not the only bottom-line. Managers have become conscious towards building highly focused teams and individuals who can maintain their equanimity even in trying circumstances. As we know that the strength of a chain is equal to the strength of its weakest chain, it becomes imperative for the modern managers to ensure there is a shared vision across all verticals of the organization. Contemporary
Everyone faces hardships during their walk of life and Christians are no exception to that rule. As humans we are often prone to complain and argue to God about why He put us in these situations. God never said that we would never face adversity in our lives, but instead we can use that adversity that’s in our life to prove how good God is and see how merciful he can be. Joseph is one of many people in the bible to have faced great adversity and there are so many incredible things that we can learn
In this essay I will argue in favour of the idea that a strong belief in God, or religion in itself, is a source of meaning in one’s life. I will explore this topic through questioning the many ways meaning can be defined in an individual’s life. I have chosen to use this approach because I believe it is important to understand “there is no facts only interpretation’s” An important question to ask when studying this question is “how does the individual define meaning in their life?” There are several

Now, there is a condition, you will have to commit to a new lifestyle, (stop having sex before marriage, deceiving others, breaking laws, and keeping bad habits) and cut relationships off with people who are determined to have nothing in life, because they refuse to listen to the truth when it comes. Now, some things you can’t just stop all in one day. But I’m not telling you to do that. What I am saying is you must cut back on the things you know are not Godlike with the desire to eventually stop
Ever since I was a kid, I was already exposed or oriented to pray all the time. Our family together with my relatives and my cousins were heavily influenced by our grandmother. She always go to church and she was even a choir singer. Now we were told to pray, I was told to pray but the problem is I don’t know how. As a kid the only prayer or prayers I know are those prayers that are fixed. Example of these are the Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, the Apostles Creed and among others. Now even though
The human mind’s ability and innate desire to justify and explain the world and its phenomena has led to some of the most significant and world-altering discoveries and inventions, illustrated throughout the renaissance, enlightenment, scientific revolution, and industrial revolution. Logical pursuits comprise a significant capstone of human nature and progress. However, according to Rudolf Otto in The Idea of the Holy, these tendencies have created different dimensions of religion; the rational
Surrendering to the torment of daily encounters with the mind, along with being open to transforming experiences for increased options for the experience of life, threw open the door to the world of deliberate, inter-religious dialogue. At the time, the excitement of participating in inter-religious dialogue was similar to passing under the Golden Gate Bridge and casting that first glimpse at the vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean, the curvature of the earth, the horizon, and the infinite spaciousness
