Biblical Worldview - Part 14 - The Pale Blue Dot
The “Pale Blue Dot.” Have you seen the picture? A truly beautiful photograph… It’s amazing to realize how tiny the earth is in comparison with the vastness of our solar system — not to mention the universe! To Dr. Carl Sagan this photograph revealed that humanity, the earth, and life itself are all insignificant given the scale of the cosmos. We’re just a tiny blip on the canvas of nature. So he suggested we find meaning and purpose by exploring space, searching for extraterrestrial lifeforms, and colonizing remote planets. Of course this begs the question: how can space exploration (a hopelessly too large task) give meaning?
Biblical Worldview - Part 13- What is the End of the Story?
The ending of a story is crucial in determining the meaning of the story. If Romeo had simply not panicked and committed suicide, both he and Juliet would have gone on to live happy, joy-filled lives. If Gollum had not bitten the ring off of Frodo’s finger and fallen into the fires of Mt. Doom, the dark Lord Sauron would have regained the ring and the unquenchable power that went with it.
As humans, it is very important for us to understand history and where we fit into it. Every one of us has a basic need to know the meaning of the story of history.
Is Cultural Marxism Compatible with Christianity?
Two Different Worldviews: I will start by asserting that the Marxist worldview is incompatible with a Biblical worldview. . . Western civilization is based on the Biblical worldview, that is why cultural Marxists must destroy it. “Western civilization is under fire. That’s the ultimate enemy of the wokeness, of post-modernity, of cultural Marxism, of leftism, of all that stuff. The ultimate enemy is western civilization. They’re trying to deconstruct it.

Anticipation lasted for weeks. The event? Barely four minutes. It didn’t change anything.
Biblical Worldview - Part 5 - The First and Last Adam
Frankenstein. Just that one word conjures up so many images! Countless books, movies, and stories have been based on the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. But did you know that Frankenstein is not the name of the monster, but the name of the doctor who created him?

Biblical Worldview - Part 2 - Is there a God? If so, What is He like?
A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” This is because the question, “Is there a God?” is the most foundational concept humans address in their existence. All other decisions and ideas flow from the answer to this question.
Biblical Worldview - Part 4 - Are Genesis Chapters 1 and 2 Reliable?
Many people find it difficult to believe the teaching of the first two chapters of Genesis. It is
easy to ask, “Are we sure that account is reliable?” or “Isn’t that just a general picture? It’s not meant to be taken literally, right?”
If we have a question about the Bible, the best place to find the answer is the Bible. As Major
Ian Thomas was fond of saying, “The best commentary on the Bible is the Bible!” So what does
the rest of Scripture teach us about Genesis Chapters 1 and 2?
Biblical Worldview - Part 3 - What is the Origin and Nature of the Universe?
“Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?” From ordinary people to famous philosophers, everyone has wrestled with questions of origin. In fact, every culture, every religion, and every worldview has attempted to answer questions of origin.
