A Christian worldview is essential to understanding the world and our place in it. The Bible teaches us about God's holiness and the importance of respecting that holiness. The concept of blasphemy is taken seriously in the Bible, and it's not just about disrespecting the Pope or other religious leaders. It's about appropriating God's glory onto ourselves or attributing to God something He did not say or do. A biblical worldview also helps us understand pain and suffering. Pain is a mercy because it alerts us to potential harm, and suffering can be a result of our choices and actions. By understanding the biblical story of creation and the fall, we can see that pain and suffering are not the result of a curse, but rather a consequence of our actions. [... more]

Scripture calls us to anchor our hope in Christ, trusting him in both abundance and hardship, rather than measuring God's love by our circumstances.

The war in Iran has exposed two blind spots in the conflict, one diplomatic and one technological, but both share a common root.
