Faith Like Potatoes
Faith like potatoes

Although it might be a cliché inspirational movie on the outside but in the inside there’s much more than that especially because it was based on a true story. The movie titled “Faith like potatoes “is an eye-opener to those people who are lost in their own way and that too many things kept them busy enough to forget God. From the start of the film, I wondered why the title was like that. Why is faith compared to potatoes?
So when I learned about Angus’s life, from the time he was a lost sheep to a person who willingly received Christ once again in his heart and mind, I understood that it was never too late to be faithful. I think I saw myself on him in terms of experience though in a different way. Angus wasn’t perfect but he was somehow a perfectionist. He wants things done his way and there was no room for mistakes. But every time he would do so, things would go the other way making him a hot-tempered man. Luckily, his family loves him and was worried about him. When he finally gave his heart back to Jesus, he learned to change and that he gradually realized that he should keep God in his mind. However, he didn’t expect that a lot of challenges came to his way because God was testing his faith. For example, insensitive people showed up and even the tragic accident that happened to his dear nephew. He was about to give up but he only prayed. In the end, a great miracle happened to him..... Before that, I would like to continue of how I am similar to Angus. Back in high school, I wasn’t a teenager who prays every day nor attend mass every Sunday. I was more concentrated on studying and that even peer pressure was bothering me. When I learned about the org called CFC- Youth for Christ during junior year, everything changed completely. So maybe not every Sunday but I now know how to attend a mass and would participate actively in all the songs and responses. In YFC, I do the same, worshipping through singing, sharing my thoughts and

    First of all, General Thomas Jackson, also called “Stonewall Jackson”, is a Confederate general for the South. Before he takes his leave for the Confederate Army, he says to his wife Anna that they must read the Bible together and pray together. They read the passage Second Corinthians chapter five, verse one, “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” After they read this passage, General Jackson prays to God saying that if it is God will to grant their earthly properties, and then let it be so; Jackson’s faith and hope is in the eternal dwelling place of God, and not in the earthly home. The film started out with this to point out that General Jackson is a Godly leader in the Army, and his faith is in God alone.…

    After watching and reflecting on this movie I learned many lessons from Simon Birch as a person and a believer in God. I always thought I had it tough but, after watching the movie I realized that there are many people in the world like Simon Birch who have to face problems that they have to live with for the rest of their lives. This has taught me to never lose faith and look at the bright side. For example, if I am struggling academically I should never lose my faith, my determination and the drive to keep going. Even if I dislike school and think its hard I must tell myself that I am grateful…

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    This past Sunday I went to Snyder Moral Baptist church to hear the music of Joel Raney. Joel is a very emotional performer I could tell he is very in touch with God. While I was there I learned that he began his career in Alabama by cutting his teeth on hymns and gospel music. He attended Juilliard School in NYC where he also worked in musical theater for a time. Listening to Joel’s music made me feel closer to God, he made me think about the finer things in life through his music. Like having a close relationship with God and letting God know I am what he has made me to be. He made me think about my faith a lot more about how being a Christian isn’t all about showing up at church. Being a Christian is…

    Problems are inevitable in life, and a great deal can deter people from their natural hopes and traditional faith. The depression that the Joads go through creates questions about beliefs and religion, and shows how it truly affects their lives.

    CBU Personal Statement

    • 667 Words
    • 3 Pages

    All my life, I’ve struggled with my relationship with God, often growing to the point where I wanted to give up on it altogether. With age, my faith became more unstable and I wondered why things happened the way it did, and how God’s hand was in the midst of all the chaos I was experiencing in my life. On Spring Preview day, I experienced one of the most life changing interactions with God, one that permanently changed my relationship with him forever. For a long period of time, I had been drifting away from God. Ironically, that specific service was targeted on faith, and how it was easy to question something so essential to our relationship with Him. Despite going to church twice a week, that one single service inspired me to rekindle my faith in God. Through attending CBU, I hope to develop a closer relationship with God. I aspire to become a…

    See, high school was the start of my faith journey. Often, the preoccupying force of maintaining my mother’s health and covering the problems within my family from the outside world ruled as priority. School became an afterthought, in hindsight, I am the most disappointment in that. Around the nation, many teenagers in worse circumstances sacrifice everything for their education and me I made excuses. I blamed Christ because I thought he dealt me and my family a "bad hand."…
