Living the Chtn Worldview-Know the Bible

Welcome to Every Thought Captive.  I’m Phil Steiger.

Today I want to begin a short series on answering the question, “how do I live a Christian worldview?”  It is one thing to discuss what a Christian worldview is-it is another thing altogether to apply it.

The first step I want to recommend sounds simplistic, but it certainly is not.  Know the Bible.  According to Barna, 62% of people believe the Bible is accurate in all it teaches.  At the same time, 61% believe all good people go to heaven, and 83% of students believe truth is relative.  In reality, the Bible does not teach either one of those things.  So there are a lot of people who claim to believe what the Bible teaches, but who don’t know what those things are.

If we are to live a Christ-lead life, we need to be instep with God’s clearest revelation to us-His Word.  I would encourage you to reengage with Scripture, and don’t be afraid to honestly listen to what it has to say.
