Biblical Christian Worldview

Our verse for today comes from 2 Samuel 2:28, " So Joab blew a trumpet; and all the people stood still and did not pursue Israel anymore, nor did they fight anymore. " As we seek Him today, ask God to blast that siren once again so you can hear what you have been ignoring. Keenly look at your circumstances to see how the Lord is speaking to you. "Let us know what you think."

I attend a Biblical Christian church with a Sunday morning attendance of just over 100. We are made up of sinners seeking fellowship, education and accountability by choosing to meet together for regular worship. Yesterday we had a baptism. That is the definition of the “church” that God calls us to be. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail but either way, it changes nothing in God’s economy....

I wrote an article on Gay Salvation from a Biblical Christian Perspective which received some extended comments. One of the more interesting responses was from a reader who informed me that the word “homosexuality” did not appear in Bible translations until 1946, thereby challenging the notion that it was accepted as a sin prior to that time. The Bible, and its translations from Greek to English,...

Our verse for today is from 1 Timothy 1:15-16, " Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on Him and receive eternal life. " As we seek Him today, believe that you have something to offer so...

Our verse for today comes from John 20:2, “Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.’” As we seek Him today, be overwhelmed by the greatness of our Savior and not the bigness of your situation. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from Ephesians 5:28, " So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. " e seek Him today, strive to love your spouse as if you were Christ loving His own body. And if you are single, pray you'll stay single until you can love like this. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from Acts 11:18, " When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, 'Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.'

And you said to me, " The word I have heard is good. " ' " As we seek Him today, consider what you ar...

Our verse for today comes from John 20:15, “Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, ‘Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.’” As we seek Him today, expect to find Jesus.

Our verse for today comes from 1 Corinthians 4:16, “Therefore I urge you, imitate me.” As we seek Him, consider who and what you are imitating. Ask yourself why you are doing the things you do. Ask God to convict you of trying to be yourself. "Let us know what you think."

"Let us know what you think."

The truth is that no one can prove Hell exists. I say that having a Biblical Christian worldview. I firmly believe and have personally experienced this process of moving from a general belief that there is a Creator, through the evidence that the Bible we hold today is a book written by God and penned by man. Once a belief in God and the accuracy and completeness of the Bible have been established...

Our verse for today comes from Matthew 16:9-10, " Do you still not understand? Don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?” As we seek Him today, ask God to encourage you where you continue to doubt. Ask Him to remind you of His faithfulness, and decide to...

Every Saturday, they meet at 9 am in a parking lot within walking distance of the clinic. Each week it’s a different group, typically represented by one of the churches in the area. The numbers of individuals range from 12-25, sometimes more. After a brief orientation and prayer, they walk a short distance to the front of the clinic. On Sunday, the sponsoring church for that week gets an email doc...

Our verse for today comes from Matthew 16:20, " Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.

"Let us know what you think."

The idea for this post began with my shock at the response of a reader, who was critical of an article I wrote on " Christianity Collapsing in the US ". Here are some statements from him, spread over a few conversations.  As Christianity is forcibly linked to terms like "conservative", "anti-vax", "Trump", and "capitalism", our theology on evangeli...

Our verse for today comes from John 20:20, “When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.” As we seek Him today, let Jesus, who did it all, be enough for all of you. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from John 20:24, “Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.” As we seek Him today, let what you miss out on be a precursor to so much more that Jesus has in store for you. And let what you have remind you of the One who gave it all. "Let us know what you think."

Our verse for today comes from John 20:26, “And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace to you.’” As we seek Him today, let Jesus have His way in your relationships, those closest to you, and those not as close as they could be. "Let us know what you think."
