The Importance Of A Christian Worldview

Improved Essays
Learning for the Love of God is about preparing students to go off to college with a Christian foundation to hold onto. There are various types of perceptions and expectations of the college experience. For some, it is about partying, freedom and living it up. For others, it can be solely for academics. It is imperative to make sure that one’s experience does not become an idol before God. Christians are a minority. The pressure to conform to the societal standards of how to fit in with the typical college crowd can be challenging and overwhelming. Just like Daniel stood his ground in Babylon, students should stand with their faith and fight the temptation to fall astray from God. Students should form a modern worldview and compare it what a Christian worldview should be. People should recognize what is wicked and what is righteous. No one can change that fact that they are born into a sinful world. It is up to oneself to turn away from what the media glorifies in this world and give the ultimate glory to God. The answers are in Scripture. It is so very important to read the Bible daily. It can be easy to lose sight of what really matters in this world if we are not absorbing what God …show more content…
The media basically puts into society’s head what to think of the world today. Not many people have formed their own insight on what their own worldview is. They merely take what they are given. It is good to study certain sections and go deeper into them. Seeing scripture as a whole is the most important, though. We need to have a general sense of what God is calling us to do which is to love him and serve him whole heartedly. The Creation-Fall-Redemption paradigm tells us that we are born into a wicked world but we are saved by the grace of God and will be untied with him in His kingdom of heaven. Earth is not going to last forever. When Jesus comes back everyone will be

    According to Rick Ostrander in his book Why College Matters to God, “the purpose of a Christian college is not simply to hand [us] a complete Christian worldview on a platter; rather, it is to start [us]on the process of developing a comprehensive, coherent, yet dynamic Christian worldview” (28). In the introduction of this book, he explains how in the Christian overview, college can be described as a “grand drama in three main acts” (25). These three main acts are Creation, Fall, and Redemption and Consummation, as described in the bible. To begin with, Ostrander defines Act 1, titled The Creation, as the act in which the all-powerful God created everything according to His own image.…

    Most Christians have at times experienced a “crisis of faith” due to new contrasting ideals that may provoke questions (Carroll, 409). Entering college for the first time is a vulnerable time for anyone who has been brought up all their life to think and believe as they are told. College freshman, Alfred Corn, was experiencing this unfortunate crisis. (Carroll, 409) The knowledge we individually obtain throughout our livelihood constantly evolves and adapts to new information and experiences, unfortunately learning too much at times makes us question our current standing beliefs.…

    What I try to do is view the world through what scripture says. And by what I mean by that, is that when ever there’s a social issue or dilemma, I try to answer and respond by how the scripture would. Of course I don’t do this one-hundred percent of the time, because if I did, that means I would never sin. One can’t sin if they view and respond by what scripture says, specifically what Jesus said.…

    Many people in the world today have decided that a world view does not matter; that everyone can simply believe what they would like to believe, and it would not make a difference. However, this is not true; a man’s worldview determines his every act! (Overman) Hitler for example, believed that Jews, disabled people, and elderly people were worthless; he thought that he could make a perfect world.…

    For thousands of years, care of the inner self was primarily the domain of religion. The advent of modern psychology in the late 1800s put this care in new hands; today, approaches to integrating the worlds of Christianity and psychology span a broad range (Entwhistle, 2010). Some individuals or factions in each field of expertise view the other with contempt, viewing spiritual doctrine and psychological research/practice as incompatible. Others pick and choose aspects to sprinkle into their own field, such as psychologists who see therapeutic merit in prayer & meditation apart from the beliefs that ground them, or Christian counselors who develop or borrow therapeutic methods based on similarity to Christian disciplines without attention to empirical methodology…
