New Life

The culture of the day often influences or taints the belief system that shapes our world-view.  What if that world-view is not based on God's Word which is the foundation of a Christian's belief system? Good folk and upright people supported Hitler's Germany who established a disastrous culture of death; many essentially believed that his actions were justified and it became their world-view.

Your world-view must be able to withstand the scrutiny of an unromanticized, unemotional measurement of the Word of God. Does your interpretation of events and culture align itself with the Bible which is God's truth to us? Truth loves life, protects life and therefore remains connected to that life source, so opposite to the destruction of life as in Hitler's case.

Jesus Christ said "I am the way, the truth and the life" (John 10). His truth provides a way in which to live life and the actual life-source (Holy Spirit) to live that life. Thus Christ provides and models the perfect belief system that should shape our world-view. As a believer, wherever your jurisdiction is - family, work-place, friends etc - you have the mandate to bring the counter-culture of God's Kingdom into the world that you live in. This is done through your world-view being grounded in His Word, and through your world-view influence the current culture of the day.
