My World View

This page elaborates further on what I hold as my worldview. But before I go into explaining my worldview, let me first share what I mean by the term worldview. When I use the term, worldview, I do not mean the view of the earth as depicted by the picture to the right. Rather, what I do mean has more to do with line of sight. For example, imagine you’ve climbed to the top of a tower or large building. You would be able to see farther and get a more accurate view of the world around you. You could learn quite a bit about the world around you just by studying what you can see on the tower. This would be fine except that you’re limited to what you can see and possibly hear about beyond the horizon. This is how you see the world. Though limited, it’s what you have and you base all kinds of decisions and thoughts on it. With this example in mind, I would define worldview as the lens or information you use to understand the world around you.

Now imagine for a moment that you received a letter from the one that created everything describing his view of the world. This guy is you know, the head honcho of the universe. What would you do? Would you study it and compare what it says to what you can see or would you ignore it? Would you be willing to change your beliefs about your world based on the letter? After all, the author is the guy that created the world you live in. What more credible source could you have? If not even the most credible. This, my friends, is a major factor in understanding the Christian way of seeing the world. I take this route because this letter from the Creator also known as the Bible defines my worldview. The rest of this page will explore what the creator's letter says about the world. In doing this I will try to answer the following four questions:

· Who Are We?
· Where Am I?
· What's Wrong?
· What's The Remedy?

Please click on one of the links above to learn more about each question. I know many will disagree with me and your welcome to your opinions. However, my conviction is this is what scripture says is true. And the fact that I believe that scripture is totaly true is what essentially guides this world view. That said, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to e-mail me.
