From my searching, I have discovered that a creed is a statement (confession or opinion) of beliefs of an individual or group.
For me, a creed can only start one way … I believe. From those two words come the expression of the worldview of a person, a family and/or a group of people.
It is a good thing to consider what it is that you, that we, believe. And, it is good to write it down. Somehow in writing our beliefs down, what we believe becomes more clear, more intimate, and more of a challenge to fulfill in our lives.
I discovered the beauty of this practice a few years back when I was working on a Worldview course. After studying what a worldview is, after looking at the creeds of old, after many (many, many) hours of reading about the things to consider when uncovering ones worldview, I came to believe that this is a practice that all should do. The process was freeing, it was revealing, it was foundational for how I wanted to live my days.
Now my creed does not speak as eloquently as the much older Apostle’s or Nicene Creeds, which date back (it is believed) as far back as the middle of the second century and around 325AD, respectfully. It does though, speak to what I see as important in my life.
It is a challenge, and might even reawaken brain cells that have not been utilized for awhile, to sit down with paper and pen (I suggest pencil … you will make mistakes) or at your keyboard, and start writing what it is that you believe.
Start with how the world started.
How life begins.
What is important to you.
What motivates you.
What you hope to accomplish in your life or what you want said of you at your funeral.
What is worth dying for.
This is an exercise worth getting down on paper. It could change how we treat others, how what we do with our time, and could change how we live our lives.
