"Spiritual leaders ponder meaning of tsunami's toll""Was the disaster 'a wake-up call' from God, or something that 'just happened'?"
[Indianapolis Star article by Robert King.]

How you answer this question depends on your 'worldview'.
"Our choices are shaped by what we believe is real and true, right and wrong, good and beautiful. Our choices are shaped by our worldview."
"Our major task in life is to discover what is true and to live in step with that truth."
"The basis for the Christian worldview, of course, is God's revelation in Scripture."
"Our calling is not only to order our own lives by divine principles but also to engage the world..." "We are to fulfill both the great commission and the cultural commission. We are commanded both to preach the Good News and to bring all things into submission to God's order, by defending and living out God's truth in the unique historical and cultural conditions of our age."
"The world is divided not so much by geographic boundaries as by religious and cultural traditions, by people's most deeply held beliefs - by worldviews."
"Renewal can occur when Christians are committed to living out their faith, seeing the world as God sees it, viewing reality through the lens of divine revelation."
Colson's books are always a solid read. This one's a classic textbook.
- Creation: Where did we come from and who are we?
- The Fall: What has gone wrong with the world?
- Redemption: What can we do to fix it?
- Restoration: How now shall we live?
Pastor Mark Roberts, Christian blogger, took note of Barna Research's study showing only 4% of American's hold a 'biblical worldview', and that astoundingly only 9% of 'born-agains' hold such a view. So Mark makes the case for developing a Biblical worldview in the year ahead.
