How Do You See It?

What's your prescription? What's your view? How do you see it? The world, that is! I'm talking about your worldview! It's how you see the world, your most basic beliefs that color everything you see in life and how you act because of them.

But where do they come from you might ask? Well, one illustration I read said that we get our worldview the same way we catch a cold...from those around us. How do those around us influence our view? We are a very persuasive people and very tolerant! We don't want to offend anyone, so we allow them to make choices that go against what we know is right saying nothing, and after a while we can start to believe it's ok too. So what's the "Vitamin C" to ward off this cold? It's God's Word! We need to be digging deep into His Word and when we see something that goes against it, we will know it's an impostor and put our guard up to protect our thinking. But it doesn't stop there...we must be willing to be "contagious." We must speak the truth with love. When we as Christians do not speak up, our light becomes dim; this world is awfully dark and we must be a beacon of light in this darkness.

So why am I telling you all of this? While I know that worldview has become a bit of a "buzz" word recently, it is a very important topic. Only 10% of professing Christians have a Biblical worldview! Are you shocked? Do you need a new prescription?

We are teaching our children Biblical Worldview or more simply, how to THINK Biblically. You can not teach something without first learning it yourself, and I am learning a lot right now, so you will be getting what's on my heart and what I personally am learning! It's not always comfortable but I won't apologize for what God's Word says. And I do pray that the Holy Spirit might use the words of this blog to stretch you and make your light shine brighter!

Romans 12:2 "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." (NLT)
