Worldview Thinking

There's a lot to say on the issue of worldviews. Christians often compartmentalize their faith--their Christianity is important on Sunday but not the rest of the week. That's not to say they act like pagans all week, but they often don't think their faith has anything to say about their job, leisure time, finances, friends, etc. We need to see our faith as all-inclusive, acting on all that we do and think. Here are some interesting statements on worldview thinking.

“The culture war is not just about abortion, homosexual rights, or the decline of public education. These are only the skirmishes. The real war is a cosmic struggle between worldviews.” (Chuck Colson)

“Nothing short of a great civil war of values rages today throughout North America. Two sides with vastly differing and incompatible worldviews are locked in a bitter conflict that permeates every level of society.” (Dr. James Dobson)

“The church’s singular failure in recent decades has been the failure to see Christianity as a life system, or worldview, that governs every area of existence.” (Chuck Colson)

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (Paul in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
