Biblical Christian Worldview

Limiting Bible distribution is logical if one believes man is the author. Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – If one believes the Bible was written by man, thousands of years ago, it would be logical to assume that it has no relevance to today. Even if there are good moral teachings within the Scriptures, man has certainly made mistakes over time in atte...

God is unchanging in His thoughts and actions, taking our sin nature into account.  Quick Quote – Source – Jarrod Scott A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – In the Bible, there are many examples of both believers and unbelievers whose bad behavior was used by God to perfect His will. God is all-knowing from eternity past to eternity future. So, He has already factored into His decisions al...

Are you truly engaged in your faith? Quick Quote - Source - Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective - So many Christians in the West view our faith as a secondary part of our lives. We go to work, raise a family, go to church, and see that as the Christian life. Are we employing the Holy Spirit effectively in our lives?   Compare our laid-back Western Christianity to Christians in C...

The Bible is a resource to know God and understand our relationship with Him. Quick Quote - Source - Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective - Without the Scriptures as the source for our faith and conduct, we have only a set of rules and beliefs that we choose to create in our own minds and our sinful hearts.. very shaky ground from which to build a Christian foundation. For no one...

Pride goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). Quick Quote - Source - Erwin Lutzer A Biblical Christian worldview perspective - One of the greatest sins mankind, especially MAN kind, have to deal with is our prideful hearts. We desire to be in control of our surroundings and to take credit for our successes as we rationalize away our failures. As with so many aspects of the Christian life, God's...

Quick Quote - Source - Jarrod Scott A Biblical Christian worldview perspective - The term self-awareness is defined by Webster as, "an awareness of one's own personality or individuality". How many of us truly know who we are and how we are seen by others? The answer is, that only God sees us clearly and perfectly. He orchestrates our lives even to the allowance of sin in order to t...

Apologetics is for the mind, but ultimately we need faith for the heart.  Quick Quote - Source - Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective - So many Christians understandably try to “explain God” using human reasoning to defend supernatural actions. When it falls short in the view of the unbeliever, it can sometimes do more damage than acknowledging we do not have all the answers. Our...

Our ability to perfectly interpret all of Scripture through the lens of our sin nature is not realistic. A reader offered an insightful comment from our article on the use of the Bible as a legal defense against the accusation of using Hate Speech (details here ). "Let us know what you think."

The life of the baby vs. the rights of the. mom. Abortion is one of the central issues in America today. As with any topic of this magnitude, there are extreme opinions on the far edges of both sides of the bell curve, and each group points to the other in an attempt to draw the majority of the population toward their radical views.  Holding a Biblical Christian worldview includes having an opinio...

The terror of a God moment. I experienced China firsthand when I attempted to smuggle a large load of Bibles into the country. I take the “Great Commission” ( Matthew 28:19–20 ) very seriously. I have always had a heart for missions, for speaking, singing, and reaching out to other cultures where Jesus is not well-known amongst the people. From Russia to Turkey to the high mountains of Guatemala a...

We need to choose wisely for the fate of our destiny.  "Let us know what you think."

Artificial Intelligence holds great potential for both good and bad. "Let us know what you think."

Christians should follow God's truths rather than their own conscience. "Let us know what you think."

The question of the Bible being used as a defense for what detractors consider "Hate Speech" is clearly under debate today. Do Biblical Christians have the right to express their opinion on subjects such as abortion, gay marriage, and women in leadership using Scripture as support? This question has moved from the public forum, to the courts and is likely headed into the pulpit. "Le...

Life on earth demonstrates the second law of thermodynamics. Not true of Heaven. Quick Quote - Source - Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective - The second law of thermodynamics is centered around entropy which is “a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder" ( Wikipedia ). We see this dictum at work on many levels from the destruction of man through our ow...

Recently I published two articles on the negative state of the Methodist Church (UMC) given its movement toward inclusiveness (see details here and here ). The topic resulted in a broad range of responses, most of which challenged the premise that compliance with the world was a bad thing. One of the more succinct, yet telling responses came from a reader, quoted as follows.... Good Lord. I feel l...

Sharing the Good News should come from our love for the lost not to impress others by our virtue. Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Christians need to avoid condemning the sin nature of man unless forced to express our opinion based on a direct challenge to one’s worldview. Seekers are looking for those who care about their situation, not those who wis...

Quick Quote Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Scripture clearly teaches that all of us “have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” ( Romans 3:23 ). However, that does not mean that we all have the same sin in our lives.  As we grow and mature in our walk with Christ (sanctification), our unique sin nature sadly grows and matures along with us. Some are prone...

As believers, we need to recognize a broader application of our sin nature beyond the physical realm. When we look at our Biblical Christian systematic theology as presented on Sunday mornings and discipleship classes, what is typically emphasized is our need to focus on the nature of God and Christ as presented in and through the Holy Spirit. In a constant battle with our personal sin nature, we...

The activities we do for God are secondary.  Quick Quote – Source – Erwin Lutzer A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – As Christians, we can get so caught up in church activities and other ministry “opportunities” that we neglect our quiet time with the Father. God wants our attention, not our activity. He desires for us to focus on His presence more than our Christian projects.  Take time...

If the antichrist was actually in the world today, his personality would be somewhat hidden and obscured by the need to gain power and influence at this stage in his ascendency. Once obtained, his real personality, as presented in the Bible, would then surface. However, systematically working through the verses from Scripture that refer to the coming antichrist, one can get a good sense of what to...

Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – As Christians, do we focus on seeking God’s advice in day-to-day matters? “You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” – James 4:14 Often Christians live just like unbelievers, making decisions without seeking God’s counsel through t...

Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – With every issue, there will always be extreme opinions. I recently responded to a reader who stated that Christian preachers were calling for the execution of gay people. I am sure one can find extreme views such as this if we look hard enough. However, in most cases, the extremes on both sides of an issue are in the...

Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – In our publications, we use the term “Biblical Christian” as a replacement for what was once termed “Christian”. That is because so many Christians have lost their way theologically. Many who associated themselves within the boundaries of Christianity did so, not because of a love for God, but because it was where the...
