Biblical Christian Worldview

Christians in America are losing their way in being able to express the fundamentals of their worldview. Some are in the process of deconstructing their faith. Some are angry with a certain pastor or church member and have stopped attending an organized fellowship. Some are hiding their beliefs, afraid to be associated with Scriptural teachings on abortion, women pastors, climate change, homosexuality, marriage, etc. Some have just become lazy, in their prayer life, in Bible study, in missions, fellowship, ministry opportunities, etc., aggravated by behavioral changes related to COVID. 

This 'Statement of Faith' is intended to be a framework to "Love God". The focus is from the perspective of man, looking up toward a supreme Creator and desiring to know Him and to love Him and to spend eternity with Him. This must be an active decision, not just a passive acceptance of His existence. 

For that growth to take place we need to:

• Believe He exists, 
• Accept His love letter to us, the Bible, 
• Recognize His power and authority in our lives through three Persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), 
• Be prepared to actively share His truth with a lost and dying world, and, perhaps most importantly, 
• Acknowledge His Son's sacrifice on the cross for our sins as the only path to Heaven.

Our verse for today comes from Matthew 26:35, " Peter said to Him, 'Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You.' And so said all the disciples. "

As we seek Him today, don't deny that you deny. Lay out before Jesus what you are afraid of, what you have been afraid to lay out before Him until now. Die to your fear, and live.

Our verse for today comes from Acts 1:1-2, “In the first book, Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when He was taken up, after He had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He had chosen.”

As we seek Him today, consider the book you are writing with your life. What story are you telling, and who are you telling it to? Are you writing something worth passing along and reading?

The question... "A gay person lives a promiscuous life full of partying and living for self. He then gets saved. As is usual in this situation, the saved man stops partying and starts trying to live more for others. Since most Christians say that he has no choice but to be celibate if he can’t marry the opposite sex, he tries celibacy for a number of years and is miserable. He decides that, in his heart, there is nothing wrong with a committed gay relationship. So he is now in a marriage, but still works for others and keeps his body free from drugs and alcohol. He finds peace and happiness and a true joy for the Lord. In his mind, his choices are supported by Paul’s teaching. Do you think this man gets to go to heaven?"

So, yes a practicing gay person, like any other sinner, has an opportunity and the right before God to be saved and spend eternity in Heaven. It's all a matter of the heart and God's grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Our verse for today comes from John 20:25, “The other disciples therefore said to him, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ So he said to them, ‘Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.’”

As we seek Him today, believe, trust, have faith. You might not know exactly what that will be like, but it will look like Jesus.

Our verse for today comes from Jeremiah 42:19, " The Lord has said concerning you, O remnant of Judah, 'Do not go to Egypt!' Know certainly that I have admonished you this day. "

As we seek Him today, sincerely desire His will, especially in the areas that seem the hardest for you to surrender. Take God's direction as pleasing instructions from your Father.

I read an article from a Christian writing on the inability to reconcile science with his theology. He used a number of examples, such as the effort of those who try to scientifically justify the parting of the Red Sea. His basic premise was that they were incompatible, and he was ok with that. My response is below. 

Finally, there are many things we clearly don't know or understand, both theological and scientifically. However, I believe if the Lord tarries, science will continue to move toward a unifying explanation of the universe and everything in it. As that happens, God will not have changed, science will have learned enough to acknowledge Him as Creator.

For a number of years, the Jehovah’s Witnesses would infrequently come up our long driveway to visit my wife (while I was at work). She was very kind and accommodating, talking at their car and eventually having them into the house for extended discussions (typically one would remain in the car and two would come in). My wife is very well-founded in her Biblical Christian faith. She is just a warm and friendly person and saw this as an opportunity to listen and offer her own views on her faith, as so many others do when Jehovah’s Witness are at the door and we start wondering what to say.

Obviously, this direct approach was outside their normal door-to-door experiences and I know, on the surface, it does not show Christian hospitality, much less, love. However, consider the deeper truth of my point. As Jehovah’s Witnesses spend their time spreading false teachings to those weak in the faith, their rhetoric is Hell-bound. Scripture offers the theological concept of righteous indignation, shown by Jesus while turning the tables of the money changers. To me, directly teaching people how to go to Hell, rather than Heaven, supports a biblical basis for anger and directness as much or more than commerce conducted in the outer temple court. Perhaps Christians have been too passive and fearful as we have watched this country depart from its roots. The next time you see the Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons roaming through your neighborhood prostituting their false teachings, consider they could be visiting your kids or parents as well. We all only get one chance, this life, to spend eternity in Heaven in the next.

Our verse for today comes from John 20:30, “And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.”

As we seek Him today, leave out of your today all that you wish you had left out when you would get to the end of the day. Let the Holy Spirit make of you His desired version.
