Biblical Christian Worldview

Our verse for today comes from John 19:24, “They said therefore among themselves, ‘Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,’ that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: ‘They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.’ Therefore the soldiers did these things.”

As we seek Him today, accept no substitutes for knowing and following the risen Jesus.

Over the last nearly two years I have monitored the process of Deconstruction of our Christian worldview. Many define the term “deconstruction” in a favorable light, often in order to suit their underlying objectives. Those in the pro-deconstruction camp would say that they have finally broken away from false traditional Christian dogma and are on an exciting journey, looking at Christ and God from a fresh and honest perspective. What is interesting about that viewpoint to me is twofold.

God not only wrote the history of mankind; He is in control of the future of mankind. God’s timing in all matters is perfect. As Biblical Christians, we should not be concerned about any trends or persecution or losses. As mankind deconstructs, we need to be even more diligent in seeking places and opportunities to serve Him. God is neither surprised nor concerned that there are fewer and fewer labors in the fields that are ripe for harvest (John 4:35). His will will be done (Matt. 6:10).

Our verse for today comes from Philippians 4:19, " And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. "

As we seek Him today, lighten your burden by acknowledging everything comes from our heavenly Father. Ask God for what you need. It might be something other than money.

Our verse for today comes from John 19:29, “Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.”

As we seek Him today, let a memory of good times gone by draw you closer to the memory of all that Jesus did for you and means to you.

It would be difficult to ignore the overwhelming evidence that there is evil in the world. The real question is its source. Many view humanity’s anger and violence as simply “human nature”, without much thought as to a deeper cause. Christians assign the existence of evil into two broad categories, one Supernatural, and one in the Natural Realm.

I would love to read an existential, secular argument for the existence of Satan and his demons without using the Bible as one’s only proof text. Acknowledging there is sin in the world, or that caricatures of Satan and evil are ubiquitous throughout other religions, or people are demon-possessed, or houses are haunted, etc., for me, is not proof of the supernatural existence of a real Satan and his ilk. My reliance is on the Bible and, for those who reject it, I sadly can offer no other supporting evidence beyond the reality of evil in the world.

Our verse for today comes from John 19:30, “So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished.’ And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”

As we seek Him today, let what is finished and dead stay that way. Give back to God whatever old ways you have picked back up and be refreshed by His mercy and grace.

As we seek Him today, pray for Sunday services and small groups. Pray for Wednesday night services and activities. Pray for the people who lead and attend these ministries, and pray for anyone else God places on your heart.

Again, the list above represents what I would respectfully consider important, but secondary Biblical Christian theology. I have intentionally glossed over the details of each as my objective was not to either define or defend one view over another. Unfortunately, many Christians hold systematic theology that includes some of these components, interlocking within their dogma, making it difficult to separate core from the less-essential. My dividing line is two-fold. First, what is clear from Scripture without the need to significantly reconcile competing verses. Second, what dogma is, and is not dependent on Salvation. The less-essential can be debated by believers for eternity in Heaven as we sit and worship the Father.
