Os Guinness On A Christian Worldview
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jul 31, 2008 (message contributor)
OS GUINNESS ON A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW
Os Guinness says that a Christian worldview involves believers thinking about anything and everything in a manner that is consistently shaped, directed, and restrained by the truth of God's Word and God's Spirit. Such a Christian worldview encompasses core issues and answers such questions as
* Who am I?
* Where did I come from?
* What is the purpose of my life?
* Where am I going?
* As to the universe, where did it come from?
* Is there a Creator, or are we the products of blind chance?
* Is there any grand theme to history and human life?
* If there is a Creator, what, if anything, does He expect of me?
