Vital Qualities Paper

February 17, 2011 According to most of the people in the world, one of the biggest problems that we face is not the failing world economy or the growing civil unrest in the Middle East. Instead most people in the world believe that we are the main problem, before any of the other struggles that might be going on. A better way of saying it would be that we as humans are the cause of the problems that we face. Those problems stem from the fact that we as humans don’t always get along with each other. Some people even say that if there weren’t so many “stupid” people in the world, it would be better place to live and there would also be fewer struggles around us. In the Bible we see that mankind has struggled to get along with each other since the fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. Since the Fall of Man, each of us is born with a sinful nature inside of us that makes us want to sin and rebel against what God would want us to do. In fact, God wants us to get along with each other and His Word is a great place to look to when it is difficult to get along with a co-worker or family member. With all of the knowledge of the Bible, and what it’s teaching could help us to do in getting along with others, we as humans still pick and choose what we believe to be the best solution when it comes to dealing with other people; whether it is good or bad for the relationship. In his book How to Get Along with Almost Anyone H. Wright, writes about three important and vital qualities that we as Christians can use to get along better with other people. Those qualities are genuineness, nonpossessive love, and empathy. Now, I know that some of you might be a little inquisitive when it comes to following some else’s advice. Since, there is such a vast array of books on the same topic at your local book store. Yet, the author backs his vital qualities by saying the

    In Paul Ford’s, “How to Be Polite,” he discusses the lessons he has learned over the years on how to be an undeniably pleasant person. He gives examples from times throughout his life where kindness has come into play. Ford shares experiences from high school, where politeness went unnoticed and, for the most part, unrewarded. However, later in life kindness helped him in the workplace and in social scenes. He also mentions that politeness has helped him look at people in a vulnerable way, that each and every one of them has problems that are unknown to others.…

    William Fay begins the book, Share Jesus Without Fear by pointing out the underlying reason for evangelism. He argues that evangelism is not about bringing people to Jesus or “winning souls” but it is about obedience (p.3), motivated by faithfulness. Fay challenges believers about their “sin of silence” by pointing out that only five to ten percent of Christians have shared their faith in the past year (p.6). He argues that there are two groups of Christians: those who talk to the lost and lose who only talk about the lost (p.8). He encourages believers to talk to the lost and avoid the “sin of silence” and the lack of urgency concerning evangelism.…

    Kindness report Kindness is attribute that everyone should try to be better at. Being kind to others not only makes others feel good but can also make you feel good. In Gordon B. Hinckley’s talk he shares a story of how a young woman came to find out this lesson the hard way when it was too late. Gordon B. Hinckley urges us to always be kind because you’ll never know when you’ll have another chance. One of my favorite Mormon Messages was made about a act of kindness.…

    The book, Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn, was thought provoking and puzzling. The most engaging topic that continued to be extremely relevant throughout the book was about the flaws in the human race. Ishmael believes all of human sin stems from the lack of knowledge on how to live. He argues, “If you knew how you ought to live, then the flaw in man could be controlled… [and] you wouldn’t be forever screwing up the world.” There were many great breathtaking and heart stopping phrases in this book, but this one was my metaphorical heart attack. I had never heard such a impressive and compelling claim of the origin of sin that wasn’t based on religion. As humans, we spend so much time trying to figure out what decision is the best decision; What should I eat for breakfast? What should I study in college? What career do I want to do for the rest of my life? Currently all of our laws come from either people or religious figures. Since not everyone supports a single person or agrees on a single religion, none of these laws are universal. The thought of having answers and laws to all of those questions for everyone does sound like a perfect world with order and pristine understanding.…

    In Paul’s epistle to the Romans he gives us the foundation of Christian life in regards to how we should not only see the world, but also how we should act in a world that rejects the gospel of Christ. In Romans 1-8 Paul teaches us how we are not able to come to a saving grace through our works, but that it must come from Christ alone, and not only to the Jews, but to the Gentiles also. Paul tells us however, that this will not be easy, but we that we need to remember who is ultimately in control of everything around us.…

    In society today, envy and anger run rampant among people. Those with envy and anger show their hatred toward the world in many ways, including mass shootings and harming others both physically and mentally. Taking the lives of innocent people has become commonplace. In Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus describes the greatest commandment by stating, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” If one cannot love oneself, one will never be able to love their…

    It is through our knowledge and revelation of God that we find out who He is and what He expects of each of us. In scripture we find God revealing himself to us. We find that our disobedience separates us from God, makes us afraid of God, make us want distance between us and God. But God who desires fellowship always reaches out to humanity. The Bible has plenty of examples that speak to this fact such as, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear" (Isaiah 59:2).…

    Wright is the role humans are challenged and should take part take in the problem of evil. A unique aspect of humans participating in the solution of evil is the concept of forgiveness. If humans allowed more room for forgiveness it would not allow evil to linger. The idea of forgiveness is also Biblical. Jesus’s crucifixion was the ultimate example of forgiveness. Don’t forget the crucifixion was an example of God fighting against evil. Forgiveness is one example Jesus left humans to be active to evacuate evil. Humans are obviously apart of the problem of evil so it would make sense that humans can also be apart of the solution. By partnering with God against the problems of evil it gives opportunities for people to grow more intimate with God. The Bible is clear in Romans 8:11 “…if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” We have the same power that raised Christ from the dead inside of us, so we mine as well use it to fight against evil…

    The Christian bible has many examples from both the old and New Testament that gives examples of Jesus wanting all his followers to treat each other in a just way. E.g. when he came across a lady who had been caught in the act of adultery and the crowds wanted to stone her to death and Jesus reminded them that they were all guilty of sin and they he who had not sinned should cast the first stone. Jesus throughout the many encounters with believers and non-believers has spread the message of justice and peace.…

    The first section talks about the fact of cultural diversity and that this diversity is the creation of God Himself. "After completing the creation, God looked around, saw a vast array of diversity in all he had created and declared it "very good" (Gen.1:31). Diversity is rooted in the creative activity of God" (p.23). Naturally diversity is likely to breed conflict and division but the unity in the midst of diversity is what brings out the glory of God. Christians need to see the diverse culture and the potential for conflict that such diversity can bring about but at the same time learned to be equipped to promote unity in diversity according to the will of God.…
