How do you look at things in the world? What is your worldview based upon? Today we'll continue our discussion with a look at how certain worldview clash.
The fact of the matter is that a true Biblical Worldview is incompatible with all others.
Consider the following worldview’s:
Humanism: man = g
Marxism: government = god
Naturalism: the cosmos = god
Postmodernism/Nihilism: “whatever”=God
New Age/Pantheism: Everything=God
2 Timothy 3:1–5 (NASB 1995)  Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?)
Constructing a dangerous worldview:
1. random chance.
2. no such thing as absolute right and wrong
3. whatever is “true” for you.
4. humans are just another species of animal
5. his soul with death metal music.
6. “first-person-shooter” computer games
2 Timothy 3:1(NASB 1995) But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
1 Timothy 4:1 (NASB 1995) “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,”
2 Timothy 4:3–4 (NASB 1995) “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”
Genesis 3:5 (NASB 1995) “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
2 Timothy 3:2–4 (NASB 1995) “For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, …”
2 Timothy 3:5 (NASB 1995) “…holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.”
2 Timothy 3:7 (NASB 1995) “always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Romans 1:25a (NASB 1995) “For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie …”
2 Timothy 3:12–13 (NASB 1995) “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
2 Timothy 3:14–15 (NASB 1995) “You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
Matthew 28:20b (NASB 1995) … “and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
