Our biblical and personal worldview is our roadmap to a more intimate relationship with God. Through our Christian journey we must stay in alignment with God’s will and ways for our life. As we learn new things about Him and His ways, we must not only apply it to our biblical worldview, but to our personal worldview as well. This paper will discuss biblical and personal worldview, and how it has changed my thought process. The chart below are some of the aspects of the zeitgeist that help move us toward God’s goal, and some that unfortunately cause a hindrance to His goals.

This course has forced me to take the time out and critically think about the questions or issues we have been challenged with in school and in my personal life. First, through this course and reading “Transformed Thinking” I understand the importance of having a clear understanding of my worldview. Therefore, if I am challenged I will not waver in my belief, and have actual scriptures to back it up. Second, I have been able to broaden my knowledge and understanding about truth claims. When we wrote the truth claims out in week one and three, I was able to gain a clearer understanding on why truth claims are so important in the Christian faith, and how they set the tone for us to be on one accord. Third, the reading of “Knowing God” was my favorite book. J. I. Packer quotes in his book it is better to know God, then to know about God. The reading helped me understand more of the Holy Spirit’s power, and how the Holy Spirit imparts knowledge in us, that we will not be able to research. Knowledge is not all about theology, but when we have a relationship with the Father, we receive special insight that cannot be found in books. Fourth, the Paradigm Shift assignment in week five helped me discover how Christians are just settling for anything the world throws out there. Of all the people in the world, Christians should be fighting harder and standing on the biblical truth that prayer changes things. We do not have to accept the ways of this world. This subject has a lit a fire in me to educate and teach more of principles in the Bible, so Christians know the power and authority God has given us over the enemy. Lastly, in week three we wrote on God’s character. This assignment gave me a better understanding of God’s characteristics, and the meaning of His characteristics. Therefore, I am able to
