Explain How Church Has Impacted My Life

293 Words1 Page

Ever since I was little, I have always been raised in the church. My mom would take my brother and I every Sunday, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening. Going to church, three days a week for seventeen years, has really impacted my life, it makes me feel better about myself. For example, if I am ever going though a rough time, church reminds me to stay strong and that God is always there for me, no matter what. It also makes me feel happy to be alive and be glad to have the life that I live because a lot of people are not as fortunate as I. Since I have been in church, I have contributed a lot of my time helping out. I have made plenty of boxes for members, at my church, to put donations in for the charity work we do. I have helped maintain

    My great-grandfather poured his heart, soul and money into that church that has a congregation of about twenty, just because he wanted to give the people of the Petway Community a place to worship. I believe that he is so willing to give to others because he had to do a lot for his entire life. Many years ago, a random lady came knocking on my great-grandparent’s door to simply ask about my great-grandfather’s health, because he was sick, and to tell my great-grandfather how grateful she was that he paid to get the heat turned back on in her house, how he sent firewood to heat her house, and how he had presents delivered to her children on Christmas Day.

  • Personal Narrative: How Religion Changed My Life

    665 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever since I was little, belief in God has been drilled into my head. I was taught to never question God’s existence, to always be faithful. However, recently, as I have been becoming a more curious adolescent, I wonder about religion. I wonder why people put their blind trust into a being that no human has ever seen. I think religion is very important, but there is no actual proof of this higher being, God, to exist except for the Holy texts (the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, etc.)

  • My Experience At The Baptist Church

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I headed out for my adventure I drove to a church in Capitol Hill. This church’s name is Mount Zion Baptist Church. This church is different then the one I usually attend because it is Baptist. Many African Americans choose this church to worship at. I usually attend a church that is non-denominational. The church I regularly go to has ties with a sister church in Hawaii so the church here is strongly influenced by Hawaiian culture. This means that there are a lot of people who are Hawaiian or of Asian descent. So being in a church with people of African American descent was a bit different for me.

  • Personal Narrative What has Influenced My Life

    First of all, church has greatly influenced many different aspects of my life and caused me to be the person I am today. I have always been taught to treat others with respect and to treat them how I would want to be treated. This has caused me to try to be considerate of others' feelings and thoughts as much as I can. I also respect other people's property and take care of it just as I would my own. I have also been taught at church to respect those in authority including my parents, teachers, and elders. I also have participated in church activities such as choir and video production. This has helped me to improve my social skills by interacting with other people. These things have influenced me and made me the person I am today.

    Even more, God has called everyone to do service. When he was here on earth, Jesus was always looking out for the good of others, teaching or healing them without getting paid. If someone call themselves Christians, God expects service from them, God expects us to go and make the changes in people’s lives. Service is showing that you care about the others around you. There are so many blessings that come with doing service, the lives of so many people get touched just by a simple act of kindness. The things I taught these kids that day might be taught by them to others they know and the many people I was able to touch just by simple words, I might never know but being able to do service is a gift from God, being able to go on Agape day revived my spirit and it reminded me how much God values me and his

    Maybe it is the first time someone has come to church in years, and that person at the door is the first person that makes them feel welcome into the body of Christ. The chances of that individual coming back are already higher because he valued and welcomed when they come in the door.

    What am I willing to die for or give my life to kept going on in my head. Finally it came to me and that is my faith. I have been going to church since I was a baby with my family. I have many strong beliefs and a strong stance. I have been taught many different things from the Bible and I have read things on my own. I do not do what I do because my pastor said to, but because I believe that it is the right thing to do. I have been questioned and my Christianity background has been too. All over the world, Christianity has been attacked. For example, one class that I took was world religions and the whole time the professor influenced the class to bash the Christianity beliefs and praise the other ones. I did not do so well because I did not back down on what I believe in.

  • Christian Reflection Paper

    I grew up in the church but, did not truly understand the bible or Christian way of living until I was an adult. I also had grown to believe that I did not need people so when life got hard instead of turning to my church for support I turned inward and tried to solve things. One day in church this bible verse was louder than the rest “for where two or more are gathered in in my name, there am I with them” Mathew 18:20. I knew that was God talking to be. I sought out the pastor’s wife, asked for prayer and joined a women’s bible study. My life has not been the same and I realize my life is not my own. People tell me how different I am or there is something different about you. I am not ashamed to tell people I am a Christian, I talk about Him on social media, and I have bible verses in my cube at work and the license plate frame of my car. Jesus changed my life.
