DEVOTION OF THE WEEK
by Bruce Swaffield in Memoriam
|
|
Having a Christian worldview involves more than looking at the world from a biblical perspective or through a special heavenly lens. There also is more to it than thinking like Christ or doing what he would do in certain situations. A Christian worldview is realizing who we are and who is in control of the universe.
We are God's servants: his laborers in the vineyard. We are created to do his will. Our whole existence and purpose in life is to please him. Everything in our lives must bring glory to him. The moment we begin to think about what we want, we have turned completely away from what we were put here to do.
The sort of view we need to have is recognizing that all things, in heaven and on earth, depend entirely on God. He is the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made," wrote John (1:3). And without him, we would be nothing.
He makes us everything. As followers of the King, we need to have a worldview that places him at the head of all and us as the least of all.

A NOTE FROM BARB:
Although I hope not, it's possible that when you view the newsletter in your home computer or mobile device it is distorted from the original. The one I receive at my home is very distorted with text and images moved in many of the sections. If so, it may have to do with the version of software you are using or the settings, or possibly the way I have created a particular section. I have not found a cure for this, but if I do, I'll let you know. In the meantime, I apologize.
