Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – As Christians we have the propensity to shoot ourselves in the evangelistic foot far too often. We claim the Scripturally moral high ground and expect the lost to do what we say, not what they see us do. We isolate ourselves from […]
[…] He walked the roads and paths of Palestine, and we can see and hear and read about it in every arena that man enters, from religion to politics, in homes and at offices, in secret and online. Believing in Jesus delivers one from darkness to light. But following Jesus in a dark world can […]
Is Climate Change Real To be clear, I believe mankind continues to make choices that impact our climate in a negative way. One can argue that there are cyclical trends throughout the history of the planet. However, enough research has been done that, in my opinion, we are well past the point where Christians can […]
Wrestling To Pray I don’t know about you, but I have been really upset and concerned about the current world events. As a conscientious citizen, I have looked into what I can do in addition to utilizing my one vote. I don’t feel called into the political world. There is the head-in-the-sand option, but it’s getting harder each […]
As Biblical Christians, this is a valid question. Where should we stand in this continuum of tension between, “Stand Up For Your Country”, the slogan coined by Bill O’Reilly, or “Take a Knee for its Injustices”, the visual campaign started by Colin Kaepernick? Obviously, there is so much material on this issue that many books have, […]
Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – There are of course many ways to accomplish that goal, including voting for those going into public service, financially supporting groups that promote Biblical standards, and being proactive in peaceful demonstrations. Christians are probably most fearful of running for political office themselves. We […]
[…] not enough. Eye witness accounts, verifiable statistics, sound reasoning, and good old common sense all can fall on the deafest of ears, even outside the world of politics or the courtroom. And deafening those ears, as much as we may not like to admit it, are preferences and personal agendas and preconceived notions that […]
There is much talk these days around the subject of socialism vs. capitalism, both as an indication of who we are as a nation, and where Christians should stand on the subject, as voting members of our republic. Many offer the observation that the early church, presented in the book of Acts, promoted a socialistic […]
Quick Quote – Source – Jeff Hilles A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – We are in a battle against the powers of evil and should not abdicate our Biblical Christian worldview in the political arena, even though we are often forced to ultimately choose between the lesser of evils in this sin-cursed world. Author – […]
The subject of Christian Nationalism has surfaced in some of my recent articles, on its own and as a stepping stone toward the belief we are headed toward a Christian Theocracy. They include, More interesting than my words have been the comments from others on Medium (free access). Reading an article this morning from Albert […]
This is a very real question today. Recent polls have shown that the majority of Pastors (89%) believe we are living in the End Times. A poll of 1225 US Adults were asked if they believed we are in the final days on this earth. Twenty-nine percent said yes. Further, in the event of an apocalypse, only 43% were […]
[…] years ago, we had a president who was an embarrassment to this country. Today, we have a different president who is also an embarrassment to this country. Politics have become a battle zone of warring factions rather than a place of mutual compromise geared toward the improvement and protection of our country. Our demise […]
Only 6% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview. The first question to answer is, what is the definition of a Biblical Worldview? Definitions are often boring and, for some, get in the way of making convenient generalizations on various topics. It is so much easier for us to set our own, internal definitions, groomed in […]
Important factors in determining one's worldview.
The level of trust Americans have in the media and its honest coverage of the news remains low. According to a Gallup poll released in mid-October, only 34% of Americans believe the mass media report the news “fully, accurately and fairly”. It was from that perspective I choose to spend time researching the latest polling on the […]
The book of Job, in the Old Testament, is interesting because it exposes the reader to a rare view of the supernatural realm, by offering detailed conversations between God and Satan. Since the Bible is an instruction manual for life, these discussions are unknown to Job, yet have significant consequences on his life and those of his family. For us, it offers a perspective on the question, does Satan know our name as well?
[…] or a charismatic prophet? Seems these days that Jesus gets to be whoever you want Him to be. We’re all happy to define each other by our politics, race, gender, neighborhood, and more. Why should Jesus escape this treatment? But where are the Christians shouting the truth about Him? Oh, wait… they’re also guilty […]
Does Freedom of Religion Outweigh Discrimination in the Marketplace? The answers are not so easily apparent in a sin-cursed world. That is why we have courts to attempt to balance the needs of the individual and the rights of the many. It’s a poor, human system but, it’s the best we’ve got before Christ’s return.
There is, of course, a raging controversy in America sparked by the Supreme Court decision regarding the return of states’ rights in the area of abortion. It will be one of the many major watershed issues in the 2022 elections later this year and, perhaps, remain a point of separation in 2024 as well. As with any […]
