theology

see attachment there are 2 parts
Part 1
Thread:
At times, theology can feel disconnected from everyday experiences. However, since Jesus is Lord over all and the gospel should shape how you view all of life, theology should be both deep and practical. Watch the Center for Apologetics and Cultural Engagement Interviews with Dr. Jeremy Treat – “Sports and Prayer” and “Sports and Theology Part 2” as he and Dr. Chatraw apply biblical theology to sports. Using this as an example, apply the theology learned in this course to a practical area of life. Choose from one of topics in the list below and write a thread applying theology to:

• Work
• Parenting
• Science
Marriage
• Friendship
• Social Justice
• Evangelism
Your thread must be at least 350 words, with a word count included at the end.

Part 2
Replies:
In your replies, discuss another way in which theology may apply to the area chosen by your classmate. How else might theology practically apply to the chosen area?

Your 2 replies must be at least 150 words each, with a word count included at the end.

Student 1:
For Christians, theology should connected and related to everything we encounter and come across in our lives. Often times, if we let our guard down, we will lose sight of what we truthfully should be picturing. We need to make it a point in our lives to make sure that we focus on tying our relationship with Christ and our duties as Christians to every aspect of our lives. Technically, when we focus on making sure that there is no disconnect between theology and our everyday experiences we are ultimately being testimonies for Christ, as long as we are successful in the goal we sought after.
Scripture was written by people who God breathed words into. Therefore, scripture is an infallible message from God to his people. He is a God of love. As a result he is not setting rules and parameters to limit experiences in our lives, but rather to protect us and keep us on a path that is honoring and glorifying to him. In my own life, when thinking about a connection between theology and an everyday experience, I think of friends. Generally speaking, it is our human nature to desire to fit in with the those we associate ourselves with. This means that the people we chose to associate ourselves with as friends are very important as we will likely act similar to them. Now that I have been our of high school for a few years it is very distinct to me who my true friends from school were. There were four guys that I went to high school with that were very similar to myself. They were athletic, liked sports, did not follow the crowd, and as a result made better decisions than many others most of the time. By associating myself with these people it was easier for me to keep theology connected to my relationship and everyday experiences with my friends. If I would have been friends with people who chose to follow a secular lifestyle and participated in things like drinking, smoking, and having sex outside of marriage there could have been more of a temptation to do so.
Christians must make it a precedence in their life to include theology in their everyday involvements. It is not necessarily our first nature to do this, but me must focus on being cognizant of how we act in all that we do. By being intentional about keeping God at the center of all that we do we are being testimonies to all those who do not. We must strive to apply God’s teachings to our lives.

Theology is the disciplined reflection on God’s self-revelation in order for His creation to know and to love Him.1 When I think about this definition it warms my heart as a parent because for me, I can think of no more enjoyable task on earth than to teach my children to know and to love God. Theology teaches that the scriptures were given to humanity as God’s way of making himself known. The doctrine of clarity states that the Bible is clear enough for anyone to be able to read it and understand it enough to live a life pleasing to God.2 The responsibility for children to learn of God and to love Him has been given to the parents. God has made it known through the scriptures that parents are to teach their children God’s ways all day long, when they awake, when they are walking by the way (I consider this to be in the market place as you are out and about as a family), when they are sitting in their homes, and as they go to bed at night. (Deuteronomy 6:7) If scripture has been given for us to know and love God, God has made it known that He expects parents to diligently teach their children His ways.
According to theology, scripture is given to correct our thinking and to change our direction. This certainly applies to raising children. Any parent knows that a child does not have to be taught to take something without asking. Without the scriptures, how would we correct that type of behavior and why? The scriptures, God’s self-revelation is the foundation by which parents can teach their children the right way to think and to give them direction on how to live a life before their Creator. (Proverbs 22:6)
Lastly, because we are created beings, God’s image bearers and He is actively involved in our lives theology applies to parenting in how we treat our children realizing that God has a purpose for their lives and that he will ensure that that purpose is fulfilled. (Isaiah 55:11, Ephesians 2:10) This takes profound diligence and trust in God on the part of the parent. (word count: 354)

Reflection paper

 

Unit V Essay
The list below includes some provocative discussions related to the events in this unit’s reading. Choose one of the five topics to write about. Compose

a one-page essay in which you will take a first-person perspective of the situation, describe the debate in your own words, and provide a justified and

academically defended argument for one side or the other. The essay will need to reflect your understanding of the time period to avoid being

anachronistic, and your argument must relate to one of the viable outcomes from that time.
• As a multi-generational American citizen, in the wake of Pearl Harbor, do you support the internment of your Japanese neighbors?

• As an 18-year-old male high school senior, are you eager or fearful of going to war?

• As an 18-year-old female high school senior, are you eager or fearful of going into the wartime factories?

• As a tax paying citizen, prior to November 1941, is the crisis in Europe something that the U.S. should join, or should the U.S. remain

isolated? (Use a perspective from no later than November 1941.)

• You are an important congressperson. How do policies and economics that are in place at the end of the war impact America’s position in the

world?

In addition to the topic you selected from the list above, you must consider the influence of the below factors and conditions, which are relevant to

all the topics above, and provide historical detail relevant to your topic:
• perceptions or impacts of limitations on and advocacy for civil rights,
• influence by propaganda or stereotypes,
• impacts of international events or crises,
• impacts of economic conditions,
• effects on the U.S. isolationist policies.
As this is a point of view essay, a modern perspective will not accurately address what the question is asking for. You are required to use a minimum of

two reputable sources, which must be cited and referenced, only one of which can be an assigned or provided text or source. It is strongly suggested

that the one selection is from the America: History and Life with Full Text database located within the CSU Online Library. Inappropriate resources or

failure to use resources that are HY 1120, American History II 5 available in the CSU Online Library can lead to deductions. All sources used, including

textbooks, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA citations.

 

 

 

Evolving Practice of Nursing and Patient Care Delivery Models

Order instructions 

The week 2 assignment is a little confusing. You are to write an informal presentation and present to some other nurses. After that, write the second paper and summarize their feedback. You can tie them together in one document, or submit them separately, whichever you want to do. I just need to see that they are separate, not just one big paper. I’ll attach an example of tieing the 2 together in one document. If you have questions, please let me know.

As the country focuses on the restructuring of the U.S. health care delivery system, nurses will continue to play an important role. It is expected that more and more nursing jobs will become available out in the community, and fewer will be available in acute care hospitals.

  1. Write an informal presentation (500-700 words) to educate nurses about how the practice of nursing is expected to grow and change. Include the concepts of continuity or continuum of care, accountable care organizations (ACO), medical homes, and nurse-managed health clinics.
  2. Share your presentation with nurse colleagues on your unit or department and ask them to offer their impressions of the anticipated changes to health care delivery and the new role of nurses in hospital settings, communities, clinics, and medical homes.
  3. In 800-1,000 words summarize the feedback shared by three nurse colleagues and discuss whether their impressions are consistent with what you have researched about health reform.
  4. A minimum of three scholarly references are required for this assignment.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.
