The Necessity of a Biblical Worldview

Published: Sept. 2, 2007, 3 p.m.

1 Peter 3:15 - George Barna recently wrote that only nine percent of born again Christians have a Biblical worldview. This means that less than one out of ten Christians age eighteen or older believes that absolute truth exist, believes that such truth is contained in the Bible, and possesses a handful of core beliefs that reflect such truth. These beliefs include a certainty that the Bible is accurate in its teachings, that Jesus lived a sinless life on earth, Satan is real, not symbolic, that all believers are responsible for sharing their faith in Christ with others, that the only means to salvation is through God's grace and that God is the all-knowing and all-powerful creator of the universe who still rules it today. This sermon takes a look at what a Biblical worldview is, why Christians need one and what Christians must do in order to have one.
