Biblical Christian Worldview“Perhaps we are not losing Biblical Christians.”"Let us know what you think."Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - One wonders whether we have fewer Biblical Christians in the world or, instead, perhaps those who have always been carnal Christians no longer wish to be associated with traditional theology. Further, as Christian church attendance wanes in the developed world, it seems to be rising in the undeveloped world.Matthew 18:3 - “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.2024-09-2301 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewFaith, not facts, is the foundation for one seeking a Biblical Christian worldview."Let us know what you think."Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – I received the following comment from a reader recently.”If a god exists then god is not good because of all the horrible things that god created. He should end all of the suffering and antinatalism [having children] is a good way to start.”My unconventional response.. I could not agree with you more…. that God allows sin, hate, pain and even Hell, and there is...2024-05-1701 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewBible banning is the next step in Hate Speech"Let us know what you think."Limiting Bible distribution is logical if one believes man is the author.Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – If one believes the Bible was written by man, thousands of years ago, it would be logical to assume that it has no relevance to today. Even if there are good moral teachings within the Scriptures, man has certainly made mistakes over time in attempting to justify contemporary positions (slavery for example) by using it as a tool. So why should anyone be surpris...2024-05-1601 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewThe West is full of coasting Christians."Let us know what you think."Are you truly engaged in your faith?Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - So many Christians in the West view our faith as a secondary part of our lives. We go to work, raise a family, go to church, and see that as the Christian life. Are we employing the Holy Spirit effectively in our lives? Compare our laid-back Western Christianity to Christians in China, North Korea, or the Middle East who live in fear of being caught, y...2024-05-1000 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewRemove the Bible and Christianity becomes a house of cards."Let us know what you think."The Bible is a resource to know God and understand our relationship with Him.Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - Without the Scriptures as the source for our faith and conduct, we have only a set of rules and beliefs that we choose to create in our own minds and our sinful hearts.. very shaky ground from which to build a Christian foundation.For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is...2024-05-0900 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewChristian apologetics can only offer so much."Let us know what you think."Apologetics is for the mind, but ultimately we need faith for the heart. Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - So many Christians understandably try to “explain God” using human reasoning to defend supernatural actions. When it falls short in the view of the unbeliever, it can sometimes do more damage than acknowledging we do not have all the answers. Our beliefs are based on accepting Christ on faith.Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the convi...2024-05-0700 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewLife on earth demonstrates the second law of thermodynamics. Not true of Heaven."Let us know what you think."Life on earth demonstrates the second law of thermodynamics. Not true of Heaven.Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - The second law of thermodynamics is centered around entropy which is “a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder" (Wikipedia). We see this dictum at work on many levels from the destruction of man through our own sin nature, to the deterioration of stars as energy is given off through heat and light until death. Praise God th...2024-04-2300 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewEvangelism should come from the heart, not the head."Let us know what you think."Sharing the Good News should come from our love for the lost not to impress others by our virtue.Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Christians need to avoid condemning the sin nature of man unless forced to express our opinion based on a direct challenge to one’s worldview. Seekers are looking for those who care about their situation, not those who wish to solely point out their sin. Salvation is a heart change, not a head change. It is the reaso...2024-04-2200 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewEach of us has a unique weakness for sin."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Scripture clearly teaches that all of us “have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). However, that does not mean that we all have the same sin in our lives. As we grow and mature in our walk with Christ (sanctification), our unique sin nature sadly grows and matures along with us. Some are prone to alcohol, others are more inclined to lie, others cheat, others sexual immorality takes center stage. Unfortunately Satan is a master...2024-04-1901 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewMany believers live their lives as practical atheists."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – As Christians, do we focus on seeking God’s advice in day-to-day matters?“You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” – James 4:14Often Christians live just like unbelievers, making decisions without seeking God’s counsel through the Holy Spirit. So often we don’t pray, either to ask God’s help or advice on important matters, much less the mundane. Ye...2024-04-1701 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewTrends on any issue need to be viewed from the center of the bell curve."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – With every issue, there will always be extreme opinions. I recently responded to a reader who stated that Christian preachers were calling for the execution of gay people.I am sure one can find extreme views such as this if we look hard enough. However, in most cases, the extremes on both sides of an issue are in the minority. But they do garner media attention and gaslight viewers into believing extreme positions are mainstream. It is import...2024-04-1601 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewWorks Based Salvation is not Saving"Let us know what you think."Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – In our publications, we use the term “Biblical Christian” as a replacement for what was once termed “Christian”. That is because so many Christians have lost their way theologically. Many who associated themselves within the boundaries of Christianity did so, not because of a love for God, but because it was where the “good” people hung out. Many are now disassociating themselves from true Biblical Christians as we have come under more social scrutiny for our unchanging beliefs. There is a set of...2024-04-1501 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewJesus is Tough love"Let us know what you think."Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - So many Christians view the New Testament and, in particular, Jesus, expressing the importance of love. Jesus put love as the highest command when He said...Mark 12:29-31 - Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second...2024-04-1101 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewIf Christ is the benchmark, we are all equal sinners before God."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - We always seem to compare ourselves, to ourselves rather than to Jesus as a benchmark for how we should behave. When we look at the gap between us and Christ, any moral superiority we think there is between one faction and another becomes infinitesimal and irrelevant.Romans 3:23 - for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Romans 3:10-12 - as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not on...2024-04-1101 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewLike believers, plants start in the greenhouse but often are transplanted into the real world."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - A greenhouse is intended to be a place of protection where seeds can grow under a controlled environment of nurturing. However, in many cases, at a point in the maturing process, plants outgrow their confined enclosure and, to continue to thrive and be of value to the one who invested the time to cultivate them, the plants leave the safety of the greenhouse and face the world.This illustration can be applied to Christians...2024-04-1101 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewScience does not replace God, it is a confirmation of His existence."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - Science is a wonderful and important construct of the application of man’s intellect and curiosity applied to God’s creation.Many unbelievers, critical of the Christian view that puts religion above science, point out that past theologians have been wrong in areas such as a belief in a flat earth. However, this serves to prove the point that all mankind, including theologians, know only a small fraction of the secrets contained in the univ...2024-04-1101 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewGood works result FROM salvation, they do not result IN salvation."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote – Source – Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Nearly every religion in the world offers a formula for eternal bliss. Both the recognition of an afterlife and its risks/returns are documented in sacred texts throughout history. What separates Christianity from all others is the truth that God does not demand mankind to earn our way into Heaven. Instead, He provided His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross at Calvary and by His resurrection from the dead on Easter morning, offered evidence of His pow...2024-04-0201 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewGod can be seen as either love or hate."Let us know what you think."How we see God depends on our perspective and our faithfulness. Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - The secular see Him as a tyrant, and for good reason. The believer sees Him as love, and for good reason. The difference between the two can be encapsulated in a single word, faith.2024-04-0100 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewLonger life is not the highest goal in life."Let us know what you think."Quick Quote - Source - Jeff HillesA Biblical Christian worldview perspective - Some live for a short time, some for a long time. Some of us live a largely pain-free life and others, sadly, live in constant pain and suffering. Some have an abundance of resources at their command and others barely have the shirt on their back. Though arguably important during our life, in death, none of the above matters. In fact, because God's ways are above our ways (Isaiah 55:8), often those with less on e...2024-03-3100 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewIs it Possible to Love God but Hate an Individual?"Let us know what you think."The Question “Jeff, do you think it’s possible for someone who genuinely loves God and accepts that Jesus is the way, truth, and light to continue to feel hatred for anyone else? If so, how? Loving Jesus and hating others are incompatible. You can’t experience them both at the same time, in my opinion. [This] means that during instances where someone hates another, he’s forgotten that he loves Jesus.”Finally, there is no question that the horizontal relationships we have (both good and bad) direct...2023-02-2406 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewShower You With His Peace"Let us know what you think."Our verse for today comes from John 20:19, “On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’”As we seek Him today, ask Jesus to lift that weight of fear off of you and shower you with His peace as you place your full trust in Him.2022-03-2403 min

Biblical Christian WorldviewPersecution - Politics - Christian Takeover"Let us know what you think."The idea for this post began with my shock at the response of a reader, who was critical of an article I wrote on "Christianity Collapsing in the US". Here are some statements from him, spread over a few conversations. As Christianity is forcibly linked to terms like "conservative", "anti-vax", "Trump", and "capitalism", our theology on evangelism, sexual orientation, and abortion only aggravate those who can't, or refuse to, separate politics from religion in evaluating people on an individual basis. For the Christian evangelist, this compounding negative im...2022-03-2305 min

Biblical Christian WorldviewThe "Main Thing" for a Biblical Christian"Let us know what you think."Christians in America are losing their way in being able to express the fundamentals of their worldview. Some are in the process of deconstructing their faith. Some are angry with a certain pastor or church member and have stopped attending an organized fellowship. Some are hiding their beliefs, afraid to be associated with Scriptural teachings on abortion, women pastors, climate change, homosexuality, marriage, etc. Some have just become lazy, in their prayer life, in Bible study, in missions, fellowship, ministry opportunities, etc., aggravated by behavioral changes related to COVID.

What story are you telling, and who are you telling it to? Are you writing something worth passing along and reading?2022-03-1504 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewGay Salvation from a Biblical Christian Perspective"Let us know what you think."The question... "A gay person lives a promiscuous life full of partying and living for self. He then gets saved. As is usual in this situation, the saved man stops partying and starts trying to live more for others. Since most Christians say that he has no choice but to be celibate if he can’t marry the opposite sex, he tries celibacy for a number of years and is miserable. He decides that, in his heart, there is nothing wrong with a committed gay relationship. So he is now in a...2022-03-1409 min

Biblical Christian WorldviewScience vs. Scripture"Let us know what you think."I read an article from a Christian writing on the inability to reconcile science with his theology. He used a number of examples, such as the effort of those who try to scientifically justify the parting of the Red Sea. His basic premise was that they were incompatible, and he was ok with that. My response is below. Finally, there are many things we clearly don't know or understand, both theological and scientifically. However, I believe if the Lord tarries, science will continue to move toward a unifying explanation o...2022-03-1005 min
Biblical Christian WorldviewJehovah’s Witness at my Door: What to Say"Let us know what you think."For a number of years, the Jehovah’s Witnesses would infrequently come up our long driveway to visit my wife (while I was at work). She was very kind and accommodating, talking at their car and eventually having them into the house for extended discussions (typically one would remain in the car and two would come in). My wife is very well-founded in her Biblical Christian faith. She is just a warm and friendly person and saw this as an opportunity to listen and offer her own views on her faith, as...2022-03-1006 min

Biblical Christian WorldviewExplaining ”Woke” to a European"Let us know what you think."I have had a running dialogue on Medium with a liberal atheist European (J...) for sometime. It has spread over multiple posts with back-and-forth comments on a number of topics. We have been respectful and curious toward each other's beliefs. Is America the strongest nation in the world because we are the most entrenched in Capitalism vs. Socialism? Can we, or even should we, retain our position on the world stage if we continue down the "woke" path? Is that where the fear and resistance is coming from?2022-03-0806 min

Biblical Christian WorldviewWhy do Pastors get Involved in Politics?"Let us know what you think."I wrote an article, “Robert Jeffress had Trump speak at 1st Baptist Dallas”, in early January. As is often the case, discussions on Medium continue long after a post gets published. Yesterday I received a comment from a reader who used to attend a large church that openly supported former President Trump. The pastor stated that “true believers will vote for Trump”. That is where Sunday morning sermons need to focus, on preaching the truth of God's word, perhaps using illustration from contemporary society. A heavy dose of politics is not wh...2022-03-0407 min

Biblical Christian WorldviewThe Satanic Temple – A Social Organization?"Let us know what you think."The Satanic Temple (TST) made a name for itself In 2021 by putting a display of Baphomet, a twisted creature with a goat head on a sub-human body, in the Illinois capitol building. As a Christmas decoration, it sat in swaddling clothes next to a creche of Jesus in the manger. This is not the first time TST has risen above the din of anti-Christian rhetoric in America.

These conversations have impacted my views on many issues. My Biblical Christian theology has been strengthened while my view of the lostness of our country has sadly been confirmed.

My testimony includes a long road of apologetics, or a logical defense of God's truths, finally leading to an intellectual acceptance (head knowledge) which was followed by my true salvation (heart knowledge). From that perspective, I think some (perhaps few) may find logic as a path toward God and eternal life.

Biblical Christian WorldviewDoes Christianity Lower Divorce Rates - Revisiting the Statistics"Let us know what you think."Becoming a “Christian” is supposed to be a life-changing experience (2 Cor. 5:17).
