Worldview

Worldview, what is it?

Well, lets see what the new favorite reference guide says:

according to Wikipedia it is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing natural philosophy, fundamental existential and normative postulates or themes, values, emotions and ethics. (What?!, that is wordy)

According to Francis Schaeffer, a worldview is the grid through which one sees the world.

According to Voddie Baucham it is the set of instructions by which you determine the proper place for every thought, action, behavior, opinion, and decision in your life.

The dictionary says: The overall perspective from which one sees and interprets the world.

Basically, it is how you see and react to the world you live in. My next few blogs will work to identify some worldviews and come up with reasonable ways to have a Biblical Worldview.
This will bring out some ideas that are in direct opposition to the culture of our day, the secular one and the one in the church.

Worldview

What makes up a worldview? What are the prevailing worldviews in our society today?
How does one make sure they have a biblical Christian worldview and not a cultural Christian Worldview? How should Christians go about the battle against the secular humanist worldview that dominates the culture, so much so that it is often present in American churches? Psychology, is it okay to integrate with biblical counseling? I am beginning my research to determine the Biblical response to these things.
