Homework for Feb 12

We are going to start getting more practical in the class. First topic: roles of men, roles of women, and feminism. In the next class, I will cover much about the feminist movement. To prepare, you will study the complementarian position on men and women.

Your only assignment is to read What's The Difference by John Piper. It's not very long. Your folks may have it, or you can read it for free here. (In chapter 5, just read the man or woman part, whichever is applicable).

On a sheet of paper, write that you read the book, and sign it.

Then answer these questions:

• How does he define masculinity?
• What does it men for a man to "lead" his family biblically? 
• How does he define femininity? 
• Are women to submit to all men? Why or why not? 

Thanks and enjoy. 

Homework for Jan 29

Good to be back in the groove. Here is your homework:

1. Give a 2-3 sentence definition of each of these psychological terms. You'll need to look them up:

• Behaviorism Psychology
• Humanist Psychology
• Nouthetic Christian Counseling
• Integration Christian Counseling

2A. Read the Charles Moore article on pages 163-169 of your manual. On a sheet of paper, write that you read the article and sign it. 

2B. After the article, there are 10 questions on page 170. Answer 5 of the 10 questions (you choose which ones), and turn them in. 

3. Dear Doug Letter. Respond to this letter. Remember to be helpful, winsome, and clear. 

Hey! I hope the rest of your Christmas Break was good. It was good seeing you and my other friends. I miss you all. It was also nice having that break from school and work. But it's over now! 

I've still been looking for a church since I've been at college. I miss our old church, and with me working and so busy, I've still not joined a church. I've been to one twice, though. I know you have told me that it's important to have "fellowship," but that's kind of what we are doing in this letter. I think I have fellowship with you and others. Why do you think it's so important for me to be part of a church? 

I've started the new semester of classes. I'm taking Psych 101 and Soc 101, and a few other things. It's been interesting to learn about. This week, we talked about human nature and if people were basically good or bad. Most of us agreed that people are mostly good. When I think about the people that I know, they are just about all good and kind. I think some people are bad, like murderers and life-long criminals. One guy from a Christian club said that the Bible says that people aren't good by nature, but that sounds harsh. Is that true? What does the Bible actually say about human nature? 

Hope you are good. Great seeing you over break. -Doug

That's it for the assignment. See you in two weeks.
