The Power of Principle: Forming a Biblical Worldview from the Inside Out

Oct. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Our fathers and grandfathers went to war to make the world safe for democracy. "I must study war ... so that my sons can study mathematics," said one of our founding fathers. We've been reminded recently, until it hurts, the value of their sacrifices, and that truly every generation must pay the cost. Yet, beyond "united we stand," there remains the sad truth that our world is unsafe for our ideals and principles. The daily news invades our lives with countless reminders of infringements upon our founding liberties against which a siege has been laid in the guise of 'higher' causes masquerading as tolerance, compassion, or safety. The recent two-hour prime time television interview given to the cause of gay couple adoptions is only the latest example of addressing the secondary and tertiary issues while completely bypassing the central, essential principles upon which policy should be based and problems solved.

The inability to reason Biblically about life issues is epidemic in and out of the church. The PEERS Test program run by the Nehemiah Institute measuring opinions about politics, economics, education, religion, and social issues testing 10,000 Christian students over thirteen years, projects a complete loss of Christian worldview by the year 2018 if the decline continues at the present rate. The alarm has been rung, Christians are alerted, the buzz word of the hour is Biblical worldview. Conferences are being held. Books are being published. Courses are being taught. But are we just putting bandages on an external wound when we really need to be restoring health to the blood within? Have we fallen into the secular mode of problem solving--deal with the external, fix the problem--rather than deal with the internal, the principle, the character, the conscience, and the problem will fix itself?
