To stand courageously, you have to know what God says is the truth and what the world believes. This is called a worldview - what you base your beliefs on. Every person uses a different filter through which they see and understand the world. We may all be looking at the same event, but we will see it differently because of our conflicting worldviews. Your worldview includes how you see God, yourself, others, the past, present, and future, money, time, good and evil. It influences everything in your life. Every time you make a decision, you access the worldview database in your mind and decide that, because you believe this, this is what you're going to do. Your worldview influences every choice you make. Here's the problem: You are profoundly influenced by the worldviews of others. Every time you have a conversation, a worldview is being communicated. You are influenced by the worldviews of your parents, friends, an advertisement, or a newspaper article. Nothing is fair and balanced, because everyone has a worldview. It is absolutely crucial, then, that you base your worldview on God's Word, which is the only truth.

Amen!!!

There are many voices in the wind
and the truth be attacked;
even though many have compromised:


" The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isaiah 40:8


Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought;
speak the word, and it shall not stand:
for God is with us. Isaiah 8:10



These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world. John 16:33
