DO YOU SEE ELECTIONS, POLITICS, PANDEMICS, LIFE, WORK & THE FUTURE--GOD'S WAY OR MAN'S WAY? (FTF-28)

Embracing A Biblical Worldview in a Fallen World (Isaiah 58:6-12):
Each of us today has an operating system we use to go through life. This operating system is called our worldview. Our worldview is how we determine reality and make decisions like: What is good and what is evil. What is real and what is false. What is worthwhile and what is worthless. Those distinctions are each derived from our worldview.
WORLDVIEW PROMPTS DECISIONS
Our worldview slowly takes shape through life and dictates most of our responses each day to choices, events, and experiences we have. As babies, we process the world and start forming our own reality. We go through life from the very start listening, filtering, picking, and choosing.
Parents, the web, TV, media, music, games, school, experiences, religion, and our surrounding culture all blend together to form a working worldview.
When we want something it is because it fits into our worldview.
Whether we watch or listen or participate in anything is driven, in the background, by our worldview.
Whether we want a job, learn a trade, or continue in education are all byproducts of this worldview framework we use.
Rational people, normal people, average people, those without impairment usually choose activities that “fit” into what they believe is right, helpful, and consistent with their reality or worldview.
So for example, the worldview of the Islamic terrorists in the news called ISIS motivates them to capture, kill, and by any means accomplish conquest is what they in their worldview they have been taught and convinced is right. To us they are barbaric. To them they are reformers returning the Middle East to its rightful order.
WORLDVIEW IS A CHOICE
The power of our worldview as the central processor, or filter that we see life through can’t be understated. Your worldview clearly reveals who you are as a person, more than any other element of our lives.
Think for a moment about the power of our worldview. Worldview is what we believe. What we trust. What we consider reliable.
Each of us looks at life through the framework of what we believe. Either consciously or unconsciously we have slowly built a framework of beliefs. Everyone alive operates this way. It frames our reality: how we operate, what we do and say, how we feel, and the way we live. That framework is called our “worldview”.
A worldview is that overarching explanation of all we know and understand, so we can make sense of life. The biggest question for each person in life is what components have formed your worldview? Are the things you believe trustworthy? How can you know what is true? The answer comes through a worldview, and there are really only two worldviews.
WORLDVIEW FRAMES BEHAVIOR
Today your actions and mine are prompted by our worldview. So are everyone else’s actions around us. Everyone alive has some sort of worldview. It can be a Secular Humanistic worldview, a Hindu worldview, a Marxist worldview, an Islamic worldview, and so on.
Worldview answers the foundational questions of life, such as:
1. Is there a Supreme God or not?
2. How did the Universe originate?
3. How did humans originate?
4. What happens to humans at death?
5. Are there absolute truths, morals, or ethics?
6. Where is human history headed?
Each worldview answers those questions.
The way we behave is prompted by what we believe about the origin and purpose of life, who we are as a person, and the direction and destiny of the Universe around us. For example, Eastern religions and tribal peoples often have a circular view of life, heavily influenced by their ancestors. Life is often just a spiral upward or downward.
The Bible however presents a linear view of everything: our origin in the Universe, our purpose in history, and our destiny. Every person, culture, and society in history has had a worldview. There are many published worldviews, but only one Biblical Worldview.
A Biblical or Christian worldview is a framework or window or lens through which a born-again believer can understand everything in the world, and all of reality from God’s perspective and thus be able to discern and follow God’s will for every choice in life.

I'm glad that you are preaching about male and female. Their roles is a touchy subject also. Thank Christ for giving you the knowledge and courage to teach. Keep it up

742 dates in 9 years sounds exaggerated, especially in a time without the internet. Surely something was very wrong with the issue of prayer, but praise God for quote 742. Something similar happened to me from the age of 18 to 25, but with less than 5% in dates and I was already feeling very bad. But thank God I have been married for almost 32 years to the wife that God chose for me. Saludos desde Toluca, México 🇲🇽
