Our thinking is based
upon one of two views: either we look at things from a humanistic view or a
Biblical view.
It is highly possible and in all likelihood
probable that we view some things from a Biblical view while viewing other
things from a humanistic perspective.
Most of us either were
or are being educated in a humanistic system of...
Ø Government
schools, both high schools and colleges;
Ø Secular
media, both the printed media and news media;
Ø Music
industry: even some contemporary Christian music is full of humanism, and all
of the worldly secular music is;
Ø
In a recent unscientific
survey, 90% of parents who require their children to attend “Christian schools”
do not require their children to have a private time at home in the Word of
God. The same 90% of parents admit that
they do not have their own private devotions, and they also have no family
devotions.
If we are to have a
Biblical world view, there are at least four things we must be willing to do.
1. Be
honest and admit that we have been trained in a humanistic society, and that
many of our views come, not from God’s Word, but from our humanistic training.
2. We
must be teachable and desire that our view be changed.
3. We
must be faithful in our daily study of God’s Word, in our church
attendance (The church we attend is extremely important.), but be faithful to all
services.
4. Pray
and ask God to reveal to you views and thinking that is not Biblical.
✞ Develop a Biblical view of the world.
