“We are experiencing the fall-out of two rival faiths- Christianity, a worldview teaching that God is sovereign over all He has created, and secularism, a worldview teaching that man is sovereign over all that has evolved up to this moment in time.”
“A person with a biblical worldview experiences, interprets, and response to reality in light of the Bible's principles. What Scripture teaches is the primary grid for making decisions and interacting with the world. For the purposes of our research, we investigate a biblical worldview based on eight elements. A person with a biblical worldview believes that Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the universe and he still rules it today, salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned, Satan is real, a Christian has a responsibility to share his or her faith in Christ with other people, the Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches, unchanging moral truth exists, and such moral truth is defined by the Bible. In our research, we have found that people who embraced these eight components we have a substantially different faith from other Americans – indeed, from other believers.”
“God either rules as sovereign in interpretation over *all* areas of life or none.”
“Every worldview has to bring together reason and faith.”
“Man has been evolved and created the gods. Evolved more and decided to destroy all of them.”
“A biblically based worldview is capable of affirming the best insights of secular philosophies without ever falling into reductionism.”
