Developing a Worldview That Works
|
|
There are many worldviews competing for your attention, but biblically there is only one correct worldview because there is only one true God who has revealed himself first in Scripture and second in creation. The key to a successful life is to learn and live based on a correct (biblical) view of reality.
This training will help you develop a biblical worldview of life. People who live biblically are empowered to realize their potential by finding and fulfilling their divinely ordained life purpose. |
One of the resources used to help present a biblical worldview is the book Beyond Babel written by Dr. Gerald Chester, founder of Strategies@Work, LLC. This book is based on the timeless universal principles (TUP) found in the Bible. Many of the practical applications of this training will be elucidated and illustrated using material found in Beyond Babel. The worldviews expressed above by Oprah and Steve may appeal to you as a fine-sounding argument but are they true? There are many fine-sounding arguments about the identity and nature of God and therefore there are many worldviews. How then does one determine the correct worldview?
Given the fallen nature of mankind, thinking biblically is not innate. This means that the default worldview of mankind is nonbiblical thinking. One must, therefore, learn to think biblically. This requires training. If you believe in Christ as revealed in Scripture and as historically understood by his followers, then the Bible will be authoritative in helping you develop your worldview, that is, a biblical worldview. And because of the uniqueness of Christ as God, then a biblical worldview is the uniquely correct worldview. Therefore, developing and living based on a sound biblical (Christian) worldview is one of the keys to success in life. This training will not only teach you a biblical worldview but will help you avoid being deceived by the fine-sounding arguments of nonbiblical worldviews. The purpose of this training is to equip you with the knowledge and wisdom to develop a biblical worldview so that you can live well and enjoy the fulness of the God's purpose for your life. |

“Some of the most relevant personal help I have ever received!”
“Exceeded my expectations.” “Well done!” “You obviously know the material well.” “Excellent communicator!” “The class is relevant in that it discusses how to analyze what we read and hear.” “Your passion for the subject and the Lord is very evident, as is your passion for the body to be stronger as disciples of Jesus.” “The class excelled at showing the historical philosophical roots of the various worldviews and comparing them to a biblical worldview.” “The class help me learn to identify (erroneous, fine-sounding) arguments.” “I feel like a veil has been lifted from my eyes in understanding the viewpoint from which people communicate information to me.” “It's very easy to read the Bible and learn what it says. It's harder to piece it all together into systematic doctrines that can direct our lives. Although there are books available on these topics, many of them fail to build a strong theological foundation. This is where classes like yours are very helpful.” |
