Abnormal behavior is the number one factor when it comes to diagnosing a mental illness.…

Biblical Worldview There are many questions in life that plague most, if not all, of the world’s population. It is the answers to questions like these that constitute a person’s world view. As far as the Bible is concerned, there are many worldviews that can be obtained through seeking the answers to the “inescapable questions of life” from different scriptures.
