Developing a Biblical Worldview:

What is a Biblical Worldview?

1.      What is a person’s “worldview?”

Look up and define the word Weltanschauung.

2.      Summarize the content of the following verses and explain how each should affect our worldview.

a.     Romans 6:1-23

b.     Romans 12:1-2

c.     Galatians 2:20

d.     Philippians 1:21-26

e.     Colossians 3:1-10

3.      Contrast the perspective of a secular versus a spiritual worldview in the following areas:

b.     Purpose of Life

c.     The Future

4.      How will our worldview affect our opinions regarding social and moral issues?
(E.g. Abortion, Homosexual marriage, Promiscuity/Adultery, Drug Abuse, Euthanasia)

5.      How has a secular worldview changed our society in the last 50 years? Read the following quotes in considering this question.

"Religion has always been central to our national identity. Religious references do not violate the First Amendment, which was never intended to bar all religious expression or discussion from national discourse. James Madison himself, the author of the First Amendment, was sworn in with his left hand on the Bible. So was George Washington, and, I believe, every president since. The Ten Commandments provide the very foundation of our nation's legal code. They also make up the basis of the moral values that thankfully guide us in our everyday lives." --Lawrence Kudlow

"Unfortunately, in the last two decades we've experience an onslaught of such twisted logic that if Alice were visiting America, she might think she'd never left Wonderland. We're told that it somehow violates the rights of others to permit students in school who desire to pray to do so. ... We can and must respect the rights of those who are non-believers, but we must not cut ourselves off from this indispensable source of strength and guidance." --Ronald Reagan

6.      How is the Biblical worldview perceived by many secularists today?

7.      How have many Christians been affected by secular thinking?

b.     Genesis 1:26-28

c.     Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

d.     2Corinthians 5:10
