Biblical Worldview

It may be more difficult to understand what one agrees with than with what one disagrees with. I think of that in reference to the class on Biblical Worldview taught by BM for four weeks ending this previous Tuesday. Not that I disagreed with him. It turns out what he calls "worldview" I would call how we relate to the world as Christians. Yes how I relate to the world is based on my worldview. Perhaps more accurately it is based on how I see God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit relating to the world. As much as I am able I try to go and do likewise.

On his conclusions I agree and love some of his applications, specifically the art of asking questions of people that we relate to who do not share our faith in Christ. That and his last point about using similes, as Jesus did with many of his parables, to explain what he meant. He says there is less room for misinformation.

I certainly agree that similes often work better than outright descriptions. But it is so fun and so challenging to try.
