Worldview

Have you ever thought about what type of worldview you have. How do we develop a worldview? Do you have a biblical worldview? I started looking at this after I read the book Family Driven Faith. Your worldview is how you view life. We develop our worldview from our our education, our parents, our culture and our surroundings. The movies we watch, music we listen to, books we read all contribute to our view of the world. "Worldview" is a term used to describe the belief system by which a person understands or makes decisions about the world. One of the most prominent modern-day worldviews is postmodernism -- a belief system that rejects the notion of absolute truth. This is often expressed in the statement, "That may be true for you but it's not true for me."(Baptist Press) So how do I make sure I have a biblical worldview? How do I show my children the importance of having a biblical worldview? I guess the obvious beginning is through Bible study. We need to see what the Bible say about........everything?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 says "All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

So that leaves us with alot of studying, right? I guess so. I'm going to continue to dig. If all those different things I listed above contribute to my worldview, then I really need to be more aware of what I'm taking in. I hope this was not incoherent ramblings to all of you great Biblical scholars who read my blog. :) Remember these are just the ramblings of a SAHM seeking to teach my children well. If you have anything to add, I would love to hear it.
