Unit: Defining a Biblical Worldview
How do young people view the world? What makes life meaningful for them? What do they value? What influences a teenager's moral decisions? The answers to these questions determine a person's worldview. Can the young people in your youth ministry define the biblical teachings on the identity and nature of God, the inspiration of Scripture and the purpose of man? Can the teenagers in your church explain why they should follow biblical guidelines for moral decisions?
Our worldview is an anchor that enables us to evaluate behaviors, values, morality, and relationships. Without a solid and effective spiritual compass to guide us, we will succumb to the worldview of our society. We will question the validity of traditional beliefs concerning what is right and wrong. We will find excuses for the immorality, corruption, and greed displayed in the media and on every level of government and business. And, in the end, our society will be dominated by disgusting behaviors and violence.
In order to be light in the darkness, Christians must know God and anchor our lives in the teachings of Scripture. The tragedy is that most Christians in America no longer view Scripture as the only authoritative source of truth for guidance and faith. In their January 12, 2004 bi-weekly newsletter, the Barna Research group reported that fewer than 10% of Christians who claim to be born again possess a biblical worldview. The poll questioned participants about their beliefs concerning morality, the inspiration and accuracy of Scripture, the sinless nature of Jesus, the attributes of God, and salvation by grace. (See www.Barna.org) This series of lessons seeks to identify the biblical teachings that comprise a truly biblical worldview and demonstrate how that mindset applies to the issues of our day.
