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.

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]
