Convictions Paper Joe McFadden Christian Excellence CM 3001 Professor Rick Saylor November 19, 2010
Convictions are defined as: 1. An unshakable belief in something without need for proof or evidence. 2. (Criminal law) a final judgment of guilty in a criminal case and the punishment that is imposed; "the conviction came as no surprise". 3. The act of convicting; the act of proving, finding, or adjudging, guilty of an offense. 4. A judgment of condemnation entered by a court having jurisdiction; the act or process of finding guilty, or the state of being found guilty of any crime by a legal tribunal 5. The act of convincing of error, or of compelling the admission of a truth; confutation 6. The state of being convinced or I cannot recall any convictions I have held that were rooted in an unwillingness to change but I can definitely see how this could be possible. For a while I knew that God has been calling me into ministry as a vocation but wasn’t sure where to start or how. I would make excuses on why I couldn’t do it or why it wouldn’t work. I had chosen a career path and the change and transition not to mention the uncertainty would not be easy. For years I wrestled with this. Sometimes I would say maybe I can just spend more time in prayer for the lost and hurting or work in my sphere of influence. It came down to a resistance to submit everything including my future to God. I still feel lost in at times. But I know that I am one step closer as I am now pursuing an education which will support this calling. I am confident God will open the doors that need to be opened when the time comes. But I know that this is the first step in that process. That’s much how God works, revealing His plan to us on a step-by-step basis.

think it over the conviction deepens that death is not the end. You find a letter that your friend had written to you during his life. He had used paper and ink to capture his thoughts.

Nor were they just a twist of a membrane in his head. They were more than just material things. There was something in him which paper and ink, sound…

Until certain things are compulsory we are content to lie there and watch the world rotate around us. Throughout life we evolve standards founded on what we have learned or experienced as we develop.

My research paper was on the ban of cell phones and texting while driving. The paper was based on the support of the ban and what harm it has caused. My research paper became problematic due to the fact that my position was not made clear to the reader. Deciding to construct a report based on the action that so many of us do was found to be very ideal to me. Knowing that I was victim to a distracted driver on their cell phones it gave me a personal testimony that qualifies me to talk about the dangers…
