worldview

We hear quite a bit these days about "worldview".  It surfaces in political campaigns and legal controversies.  It seems to be at the fulcrum of many conflicts we hear about daily.  Everything from global warming, to abortion, to same sex marriage, to foreign policy and even to economic policy seems to be linked to various "worldviews".  So it all comes down to perspective.  It makes sense that our value judgements flow from our perspective on life.  But recently, as I thought about the term "worldview" I realized that a more important perspective was "heaven view".  I reflected on how my world was rocked when heaven became a reality to me in the form of a real relationship with the Lord, through His Son, Jesus and by the experience of the Holy Spirit convincing me.  Once the reality of Heaven was planted in my heart and I truly had a "Heavenview" my worldview was also shifted.  Now I know that I only see the world clearly through the lens of heaven and from the perspective of the One who made it all.   1 Corinthians 9:19-23 Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn't take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I've become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life. I did all this because of the Message. I didn't just want to talk about it; I wanted to be in on it!     blessings, Rob Smith http://2daysthought.blogspot.
