Essay Topics
This essay assignment may be written from a “personal experience” standpoint, or it may be an objective examination of a topic related to the subject of health or healing, or it may incorporate both. In either case, you must choose one topic from the list below, incorporating your own knowledge, your knowledge of Scripture, and the knowledge and insight you have gained from reading the textbook.
1. “In Everything Give Thanks” (1 Timothy 5:18)
2. Does God Cause Disease?
3. Why are Some People not Healed?
4. Spiritual Wholeness versus Physical Wholeness
5. Differentiating Between Healing and Divine Health
6. Generational Curses and Healing
CAUTION: This essay is to be written as objectively as possible, even if it is a personal testimony. Under no circumstances should you be sidetracked into “preaching,” and you must avoid “chasing rabbits.” In other words, you must stick to your specific subject. You are to simply share what you know, or what you have learned, or what your experience has been. You are not to try to convince anyone to believe in a particular theological doctrine regarding healing, nor are you to use this essay as a platform to attack anyone who disagrees with your beliefs.
