This past weekend at Northview we were talking about having a Biblical Worldview and what that means.   I was shocked and saddened to hear that only 9% of born again Christians say they have a true Biblical Worldview.    This statistic comes from The Barna Group a leading research organization.

This is what they used to define what a Biblical Worldview means:

  1. Absolute moral truths exist.
  2. This truth is defined by the Bible.
  3. Jesus Christ lived a sinless life.
  4. God is an all-powerful and an all-knowing Creator of the universe and He still rules it today.
  5. Salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned.
  6. Satan is not just a symbol of evil is a a real living entity.
  7. A Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people.
  8. The Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.

Where do you stand on this?
