Church & Culture: Rediscovering A Biblical Worldview

Three Guaranteed Things

Lakeshore Senior Pastor: Gil Dirmann

WHAT IS A WORLDVIEW? A worldview is a comprehensive perspective of the world from a specific standpoint. It determines how we view the world around us, and interpret what's happening in it.

Definitions

people (2 Tim 3:2)(Gk) anthropos - Anthropology; general population

sin (2 Tim 3:6)(Gk)

harmatia - mistake; error; wrong thinking

be prepared (2 Tim 4:2)(Gk) ephistemi - to stand firm; military term to remain at ones' post

myths (2 Tim 4:4)(Gk) mythos - Fiction; made up truth

Gnosticism- From the Greek, gnosis, meaning "knowledge." A worldview approach that emphasizes immediate/innate knowledge and group identify. Truth does not need to and often CANNOT be confirmed, it just needs to be experienced by the person/group. Group truth cannot be challenged by someone outside of the group.

MAIN POINTS

The culture will develop a strong aversion to real truth

Christ followers must remain faithful to receive and proclaim the Word of God

As Bible truth confronts secular world-views, persecution is inevitable

What can be done to fix what is wrong?

3 COMPETING WORLDVIEW WE SEE TODAY

Naturalistic Worldview- Emphasizes nature and experience. Discounts the notion of God and divine providence. The only truth is evidence-based knowledge.

Secular Humanistic Worldview- Fully dismisses the notion of God or anything supernatural. Instead, the emphasis is on human existence and experience, rational thinking, and scientific study.

Biblical Worldview- Looks at all of life based upon 4 Biblical premises: Creation by God, fall of man, redemption through Jesus, and consummation in Heaven

Inside the Narrow Gate

3 TRUTHS ABOUT FALSE PROPHETS:

False prophets exist

False prophets are not easy to spot

False prophets are not a danger to true Christians

3 METHODS FOR PROPAGATING A FALSE AGENDA:

Desensitizing - Goal of normalizing representation

Jamming - Goal of reducing psychic reward for opposition

Conversion - Goal of creating an ally for the movement

DEFINITIONS:

Narrow - (GK) stenos - Describes a small, intentional path with obstacles on either side

Difficult - (GK) thlibo - Describes a wine press crushing grapes. Conveys stress of the journey

Contend Earnestly - (GK) epagonizomai - To stand against + To agonize. Conveys that choosing the narrow gate is not always easy; often requires us to stand and fight for truth.
