To me, Christianity is more than a religion to which I belong. Christianity is a way of life. It involves carrying the light of faith and love through all the pathways in my life. The beliefs of Christianity can be seen in the words of the Apostles’ Creed, which shows basic Christian doctrine in the most precise manner.
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord;
…..I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy Christian Church,
The Communion of Saints,
the Forgiveness of sins,
The Resurrection of the body,
And the Life everlasting. Amen.

The Holy Bible is God's inspired Word. Besides revealing the Good News about forgiveness and eternal life, it can also throw light to many of our questions. It is important to grow closer to Jesus. The Bible calls this growing "in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18, NIV). The Holy Bible guides us through this pathway of living life with Jesus. The Bible not only reveals God to us; it contains greater wisdom than all the other books in the world. Reading the Psalms enriches our devotion to God while Proverbs helps us to gain wisdom and common sense. The Ten Commandments are simple guidelines that can help anyone evolve to be a spiritually powerful person.
Prayer is the one medium through which we can channel our energies inwardly and it is only through prayer we can get closer to God. In my view, prayer is a natural and spontaneous response to the presence and beauty of God; prayer is not something necessarily imposed by religious professionals, led by experts, limited to the theologically educated. Prayer is what wells up from within when one stands in the presence of God. Prayer need not be mournful. Look at the celebrative note of Psalm #148. In his enthusiasm the psalm writer makes prayer a cosmic celebration; turning the very stars of heaven into an intergalactic chorus:
Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise God in the heights.
Praise the Lord all angels;
Praise God all ye hosts;
Praise God sun and moon;
Praise the Lord you shining stars!

The natural world is not just an assortment of physical matter spinning aimlessly through space. The whole creation is evolving under the rule of God. God stands beyond, but also behind and within the passing flux of all things. God is the real waiting to be realized; God is the future waiting to unfold; God is the one who ties the diversity and multiplicity of the cosmos together into one harmonious whole.
God can take the discarded scraps of our lives and shape them into works of beauty. Noticing the handiwork of God in our own lives and in the world all around us, nothing seems more natural than to sing a song of praise and thanksgiving.

I take this psalm as a guideline and a goal for all prayer. Here there is nothing held back; every medium of expression comes into play. It's all stops out for God. Music, dance, the sights, sounds, the color and the drama. Clearly prayer is meant to be enjoyable.

My outlook on life is based on my beliefs. As such I realize that God has revealed himself through Jesus Christ and through the truth contained in the Bible. These are two primary sources that I rely on to provide direction for myself and in my work with people. God desires to have a relationship with us as individuals. That relationship can be the source of healing, direction, and courage in facing the challenges in life. My goal is to help people see, understand, and change the areas of their life where there is faulty thinking and functioning, in the context of the problems they are experiencing. It is also to help them recognize their need to be reconciled to God through Jesus, the Christ. "Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the orphan. Fight for the rights of widows"Isaiah 1:17
Finally I have learnt to live life just one day at a time. The Bible says we are not to be anxious about “what might happen tomorrow “(Matthew 6:33-34).
The Bible also promises that, "Your strength will equal your days" (Deuteronomy 33:25, NIV). In other words, God's grace will be sufficient to meet the challenges of each new day. As I realize God's power, comfort and strength through life's experiences I grow in my faith.
