A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Below is a recent response to an old post expressing my concern over those who are watering down Biblical Christian beliefs.

“What’s killing institutional religion is the Christian Nationalists and right wing evangelicals that want to be in everyone else’s business as opposed to practicing their own spirituality. They want to be in everyone’s bedroom, tell them how to worship, tell them what medical advice they should and shouldn’t take. Who to be friends with. Many seem to think that is what God has called them to do. Everything but mind their own business.”

My Response

We could parse each of your statements back to either the sin nature of Christians or a Biblical Christian verse which explains the rationale underlying the behavior. However, what is a deeper point is your “mind their own business” conclusion. 

Each of us has a worldview that we promote and defend, Biblical Christians included. However, for us, the essential issue is eternal salvation. If you believed that each of your family members (including yourself) had to make a decision in this life to either follow, or, by default, reject Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord, would you not “push your religion” on them? What if you believed that at the point of death there were only two places one could go, Heaven or Hell, for eternity?

Again, we all have our personal worldviews that we defend, and is the lens that we see the world through. In the case of Biblical Christians, that worldview extends to forever, either eternal joy or eternal punishment. A significant motivation to share the Good News to a lost and dying world… if one really believes it to be true… is it not?
