Week 5

I learned from the life of Athanasius to really fight for what you believe. He showed on how he defended on what he believe and have proofs to show it to the church. This lesson that I learned really challenge me to be encourage to fight on what I believe. I have learned a lesson from the life of Eusebius. I learned how important the positive events that had happened. It is that it will give inspiration to the people and encourage them to do the ministry or continue the ministry they had started.

I remember when I was in elementary. I had this argue with my church mate about the nature of Jesus. It was that he never believe to me that Jesus is man and also God. We had a great argue with it in the church. I kept on insisting what I believe yet I gave up and just believe to what he said to me because he was older than me. And I have this perspective in my mind that he knows more than me. May be he was right and I am wrong. Another experience that I had about the valuing positive events was that I am confident to encourage others to just continue to do the ministry. It was in our youth fellowship that we had few attendees. I reminded them the time when we were so many and encourage them that we would invite again the young people in the church and will plan an activity that will catch their attention.

The steps that I will do is first I will never allow myself to just believe on the older people and will really have evidence on the things that I believe. I will search for proofs so that I will not be deceived again by wrong doctrine. I will continue to remind our members on the positive events that had happened in our church so that they will be encouraged to continue to serve God through participating on the ministries in the church.
