Foundational Principles of Christian Living pages 1-7

24 January 2012 • no comments • Blog, Faith

I was fortunate enough to attend a private Christian school. We weren’t rich and I had no idea how much my family struggled to give me a better education until later on in my life. My Bible teacher who made a huge impact on me in high school had the most interesting classes. He outlined everything and backed everything with scripture.

Maybe you have followed Christ for 25 years…25 days or maybe never. I am confident this post will be relevant to Christians of all levels. I have included a .pdf version with blanks and one with the blanks filled in. I pray you find it encouraging, helpful and closer to Christ. I will try to have a few more pages typed up and uploaded about once a week, but sometimes things just don’t work out that way.

Foundational Principles for Christian Living
A Study of Biblical Principles Needed to Live Life Pleasing to God
Name:_______________________________

From Knowledge to Wisdom
God’s desire is to establish a core of individuals and families into which He can build His Word, so that they can live and share that truth in a lost world.

Three Levels of Responding to Truth

I. Knowledge – Accumulating facts
John 14:7-11

II. Understanding – Knowing the meaning and the significance of the facts accumulated
James 2:19

III. Wisdom – Applying knowledge and understanding to one’s own life
Proverbs 2:2

Conclusion
The wise believer daily applies God’s Word to His or Her own life.
1. Applying truth daily in our lives necessitates tracing our problems to violations of God’s Word and correcting them in light of God’s Word.
2. Applying truth daily in our lives also necessitates responding to life’s situations/ circumstances using the precepts and principles of God’s Word.

About the Author

Oh, where to begin? I am an artsy fellow for starters. I love to draw, create, and entertain. My dream has always been to be a film director, but Ohio isn't exactly the hub for moving pictures if you know what I mean. I love motion graphics, design, communicating and educating. I like new challenges, and I am always ready to learn something new...useful or not. I love the History channel, The Beatles, coffee, my family and God. I think that's just about it, my cat Scooter too! I have been very fortunate to do a lot of different types of design in a few different industries. Just a few months after college I got a gig as a graphic designer at Cybertechnology. The job was great, the people were a pleasure to work with, but when a chance to work 5 minutes from home and be a creative director opened up to me at Dunkin's Diamonds I jumped at the chance. Dunkin's was like a boot camp for graphic designers. The workload was heavy, the demands were high and the deadlines were always too soon. I made direct mail pieces, posters, flyers, emails, tv commercials and photographed jewelry. I learned so much about myself, time-management, team-management and marketing. My next big step was as Marketing Director at the Midland Theatre. It is a beautiful venue. All sorts of artists have performed there: Bill Cosby, The B-52s, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Joan Baez and Sinbad just to name a few. The people are great, and working for a non-profit is definitely a big change from the world of retial. You have to really love and believe in what you are doing, and I do. Sprinkle in a fair amount of freelance design work and teaching design courses at Central Ohio Technical College and get a pretty good idea of what kind of work I have done.
