The Lord can provide the ultimate comfort from life's challenges. Quick Quote – Source – UnknownA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – I recently wrote an article on the subject of suicide and salvation (details here). There are many extenuating circumstances to the question of suicide, including medical and emotional conditions. In the end, God has the answer, however, one must want to hear what He has to say. And, if truly listening, we will experience His eternal provision.
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – I received the following comment from a reader recently.”If a god exists then god is not good because of all the horrible things that god created. He should end all of the suffering and antinatalism [having children] is a good way to start.”My unconventional response.. I could not agree with you more…. that God allows sin, hate, pain and even Hell, and there is no way...
Limiting Bible distribution is logical if one believes man is the author.Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – If one believes the Bible was written by man, thousands of years ago, it would be logical to assume that it has no relevance to today. Even if there are good moral teachings within the Scriptures, man has certainly made mistakes over time in attempting to justify contemporary positions (slavery for example) by using it as a tool. So why s...
God is unchanging in His thoughts and actions, taking our sin nature into account. Quick Quote – Source – Jarrod ScottA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – In the Bible, there are many examples of both believers and unbelievers whose bad behavior was used by God to perfect His will. God is all-knowing from eternity past to eternity future. So, He has already factored into His decisions all the frailties of mankind. Nothing surprises Him, nothing catches Him off guard, nothing crea...
Are you truly engaged in your faith?Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - So many Christians in the West view our faith as a secondary part of our lives. We go to work, raise a family, go to church, and see that as the Christian life. Are we employing the Holy Spirit effectively in our lives? Compare our laid-back Western Christianity to Christians in China, North Korea, or the Middle East who live in fear of being caught, yet rejoice in being a ...
The Bible is a resource to know God and understand our relationship with Him.Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - Without the Scriptures as the source for our faith and conduct, we have only a set of rules and beliefs that we choose to create in our own minds and our sinful hearts.. very shaky ground from which to build a Christian foundation.For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. - 1 Corinthians 3:11And,...
Pride goes before a fall (Proverbs 16:18).Quick Quote - Source - Erwin LutzerA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - One of the greatest sins mankind, especially MAN kind, have to deal with is our prideful hearts. We desire to be in control of our surroundings and to take credit for our successes as we rationalize away our failures. As with so many aspects of the Christian life, God's ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, ...
Apologetics is for the mind, but ultimately we need faith for the heart. Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - So many Christians understandably try to “explain God” using human reasoning to defend supernatural actions. When it falls short in the view of the unbeliever, it can sometimes do more damage than acknowledging we do not have all the answers. Our beliefs are based on accepting Christ on faith.Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for...
Quick Quote - Source - Jarrod ScottA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - The term self-awareness is defined by Webster as, "an awareness of one's own personality or individuality". How many of us truly know who we are and how we are seen by others? The answer is, that only God sees us clearly and perfectly. He orchestrates our lives even to the allowance of sin in order to teach us to be more like Him through the consequences of our actions. Those life lessons likely prevent worse sins...
Our ability to perfectly interpret all of Scripture through the lens of our sin nature is not realistic.A reader offered an insightful comment from our article on the use of the Bible as a legal defense against the accusation of using Hate Speech (details here).
The life of the baby vs. the rights of the. mom.Abortion is one of the central issues in America today. As with any topic of this magnitude, there are extreme opinions on the far edges of both sides of the bell curve, and each group points to the other in an attempt to draw the majority of the population toward their radical views. Holding a Biblical Christian worldview includes having an opinion on the subject of abortion, which favors the rights of the unborn. However, in a world in wh...
The terror of a God moment.I experienced China firsthand when I attempted to smuggle a large load of Bibles into the country.I take the “Great Commission” (Matthew 28:19–20) very seriously. I have always had a heart for missions, for speaking, singing, and reaching out to other cultures where Jesus is not well-known amongst the people.From Russia to Turkey to the high mountains of Guatemala and beyond, each trip has deepened my love for other peoples and other cultures as I watch the power of...
We need to choose wisely for the fate of our destiny.
Artificial Intelligence holds great potential for both good and bad.
Christians should follow God's truths rather than their own conscience.
The question of the Bible being used as a defense for what detractors consider "Hate Speech" is clearly under debate today. Do Biblical Christians have the right to express their opinion on subjects such as abortion, gay marriage, and women in leadership using Scripture as support? This question has moved from the public forum, to the courts and is likely headed into the pulpit.
Life on earth demonstrates the second law of thermodynamics. Not true of Heaven.Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - The second law of thermodynamics is centered around entropy which is “a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder" (Wikipedia). We see this dictum at work on many levels from the destruction of man through our own sin nature, to the deterioration of stars as energy is given off through heat and light until death. Pra...
Recently I published two articles on the negative state of the Methodist Church (UMC) given its movement toward inclusiveness (see details here and here). The topic resulted in a broad range of responses, most of which challenged the premise that compliance with the world was a bad thing. One of the more succinct, yet telling responses came from a reader, quoted as follows....Good Lord. I feel like I just wasted 3 minutes of my life reading this. I'm a lifelong Methodist. I left the church ab...
Sharing the Good News should come from our love for the lost not to impress others by our virtue.Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Christians need to avoid condemning the sin nature of man unless forced to express our opinion based on a direct challenge to one’s worldview. Seekers are looking for those who care about their situation, not those who wish to solely point out their sin. Salvation is a heart change, not a head change. It is the rea...
Quick Quote Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Scripture clearly teaches that all of us “have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). However, that does not mean that we all have the same sin in our lives. As we grow and mature in our walk with Christ (sanctification), our unique sin nature sadly grows and matures along with us. Some are prone to alcohol, others are more inclined to lie, others cheat, others sexual immorality takes center...
