S.A.M.'s Gospel Based Scientific Method for Being a Disciple of Christ
- The usual steps of the scientific method are:
- State the Problem – (Ask a Question)
- Make Observations – (Do Background Research)
- Construct a Hypothesis
- Test Your Hypothesis – (Do the Experiment)
- Draw a Conclusion – (Analyze Your Data & Communicate Your Results)
We love to use this for most anything that we do!
It helps me especially if I am trying to get a point across
that is not evident to my husband or darling children!
Note: Christ makes it clear not to procrastinate! We are not perfect, and can never be in our “natural man” state,
that is why Christ chose to sacrifice His life...
to bless us with the Atonement so that we could be sanctified/purified…
If we wait until we are perfect to share the Eternal Plan of Salvation, there are those who,
(during their Earth life,) might miss out on hearing about it altogether!
(Charity/Benevolence = Love/Serve)+ (Listen + Be Heard + Listen) + (Love/Serve) = (Faith) (Faith = A Leap of Faith + A Testimony of Their Own!)
- S.A.M.’s Simplified Version of the Gospel Based Scientific Method is:
- Consecrate Your Life to the Lord & Love Others – (by Being A Great Example & Serving Them)
- Listen to Them – (Ask a Question or Hear a Question Asked)
- Search, Ponder & Pray
- Make Observations – (Do Background Research)
- Let Your Heart Delight in The Lord! Be Heard & Hear Them– (Share Examples)
- Construct a Hypothesis – (Give Scriptures and Parallel Cultural or Theological Examples from Their Belief System as References for Your Hypothesis)
- Test Your Hypothesis – (with Real Life Examples – Individual & Societal)
- Draw a Conclusion – (Analyze Your Data, Communicate Your Results & Share Your Leap of Faith as an Example of What Christ Asks Us All to Do… )
- Clean Your Slate – (Sanctify Yourself)
- Do as the Lord Does with Us Everyday, Start Over with All Others Daily!
- Never Stop Delighting in the Lord! – (Forgive & Forget if Necessary)
- Consecrate Your Life to the Lord & Love Others – (by Being A Great Example & Serving Them)
