Continuing in our series on World Views, Truth and Evidence, Ed Croteau walks us through popular religions, cultures and philosophies we see today. Ed is the leader of FSE University at Abundant Life Church Lee’s Summit, MO, classes are every Sunday morning at 9:30 AM, located in room 1024 of the main building.

Different world views defined in this episode are: Deism, Pantheism, Atheism, Secular Humanism, Panentheism, and Theism. How people process information is reflected in culture as modernism, only believing in what one can see or reason out for themselves, post-modernism, believing there is no absolute truth, and Christianity, knowing the truth that’s revealed by God in the bible. This leads to differing philosophies: objective truth vs. subjective truth, and relative truth vs. an absolute truth.

Jesus says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me.” When someone chooses to reject believing in God, at the core, their reason isn’t evidence-based. There is something else going on in their hearts. It is difficult to let go of your original worldview and accept a totally new one.

As Christians, we are called to be a witness, sharing what we’ve seen and learned. It’s important to speak the truth in love. There is immeasurable meaning and purpose in this life that God created, and our hope is that people’s world views would change, and they would come to the saving knowledge and hope found in Jesus.
