Christian Worldview & Current Events

Our purpose on this earth is to serve God

The Christian worldview is defined by the Bible

What shapes your Christian worldview?

• Bible input
• Practice - living it out
• People around you
• What you watch/listen to/where you go

Your worldview must be apparent in the way that you live every day, not just when you go to church or bible study.

What do you talk about with friends? Do you talk about important issues or events?

Example:

As Christians, what should our response be to the Virgina Tech incident?

• Pray for the victims and our attitudes


• Realize that it could have been us victimized


• Recognize the great opportunity for ministry to non-Christians and take action with this realization.

How is our view different from that of the world on topics such as global warming, atheism, and bringing the Bible to public schools?

We must be able to defend our views and positions biblically.

I Peter 3:15

But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
