What is a WORLDVIEW?

* It answers our fundamental questions about existence, reality, and God...

* Why are we hear? What is the meaning and purpose of life? Is there a difference between right and wrong? Is there a God? Are humans merely highly evolved animals?

* Your worldview is based upon your values and your values are what guide your conduct.

* Ideas have consequences...bad ideas have bad consequences!

*Your worldview should and does contain clear perspectives regarding the following areas:
1. Theology
2. Philosophy
3. Ethics
4. Biology
5. Psychology
6. Sociology
7. Law
8. Politics
9. Economics
10. History


George Barna research states that less than 1/2 of 1% of individuals ages 18-23 have a Biblical Worldview.

The question to ask yourself - "from what perspective am I looking at these different areas?" Is it a Biblical Worldview, a Post-Modern Worldview, a New-Age Worldview, or a Marxist Worldview? Depending on how you answer that question will determine what you allow to influence your life. It is an important question . . . my hope is that you take it seriously!
