We began a series yesterday about biblical worldview. Worldview being simply the lens by which we look at life and process life and think through life. Everybody has one. A biblical worldview would be a worldview based upon what Scripture tells us is true and how we are to process life through the lens of Scripture. We looked at the surveys taken by Barna Association that says that only 19% of those that claim to be born-again, we will leave that confirmation to them and the Lord, have a biblical worldview by a very minimalistic definition.
We are going to begin looking at that step-by-step and we willspend several weeks going through this because I think it is very interesting and very important. We are going to start with Scripture. If you are going to have a biblical worldview, you must have a right view of Scripture. If we are going to process life through the lens of Scripture, what is Scripture? What is revelation? As we think about that, I am going to look at Psalm 19 with you today, and as we think about that, we find in the Bible that God has revealed Himself and His truth through two means: general revelation and specific revelation.
General revelation is found in Psalm 19 and other places that deal with the fact that the Lord reveals certain things about Himself through creation and nature and conscience. We will start with Psalm 19:1-3, it says:
“The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.”
