Biblical Christian Worldview“Perhaps we are not losing Biblical Christians.”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."Let us know what you think."
2024-09-2301 minBiblical Christian WorldviewFaith, not facts, is the foundation for one seeking a Biblical Christian worldview.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 no way to get around that. I can n...

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 surprised that positions Christians support today, which are justifi...
2024-05-1601 minBiblical Christian WorldviewThe West is full of coasting Christians.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, yet rejoice in being a child of God.

2024-05-0900 minBiblical Christian WorldviewChristian apologetics can only offer so much.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 conviction of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1Our...

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 that for those who believe in Christ's finishing wo...
2024-04-2300 minBiblical Christian WorldviewEvangelism should come from the heart, not the head.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 reason for evangelism, not our pride attempting to demons...
2024-04-2200 minBiblical Christian WorldviewEach of us has a unique weakness for sin.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 of determining where our weak points are and t...
2024-04-1901 minBiblical Christian WorldviewMany believers live their lives as practical atheists.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. Yet we seem quick to close our eyes and l...

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 important to look to the middle of the bell c...
2024-04-1601 minBiblical Christian WorldviewWorks Based Salvation is not SavingQuick 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 core theological beliefs (here) that...
2024-04-1501 minBiblical Christian WorldviewJesus is Tough loveQuick 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 is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yours...
2024-04-1101 minBiblical Christian WorldviewIf Christ is the benchmark, we are all equal sinners before God.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 one; no one understands; no one seeks for Go...
2024-04-1101 minBiblical Christian WorldviewLike believers, plants start in the greenhouse but often are transplanted into the real world.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 as well. The former tagline for our medium-sized...
2024-04-1101 minBiblical Christian WorldviewScience does not replace God, it is a confirmation of His existence.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 universe and God’s omniscient understanding of His creati...
2024-04-1101 minBiblical Christian WorldviewGood works result FROM salvation, they do not result IN salvation.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 power and love for all humanity. Biblic...
2024-04-0201 minBiblical Christian WorldviewGod can be seen as either love or hate.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."Let us know what you think."
2024-04-0100 minBiblical Christian WorldviewLonger life is not the highest goal in life.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 earth will gain more in the beyond (James 2:5). ...
2024-03-3100 minBiblical Christian WorldviewIs it Possible to Love God but Hate an Individual?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) directly impact the vertical relationship we have with a livi...

2022-03-2203 minBiblical Christian WorldviewDon't Miss OutOur verse for today comes from John 20:24, “Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.”As we seek Him today, let what you miss out on be a precursor to so much more that Jesus has in store for you. And let what you have remind you of the One who gave it all."Let us know what you think."
2022-03-2103 minBiblical Christian WorldviewRelationshipsOur verse for today comes from John 20:26, “And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace to you.’”As we seek Him today, let Jesus have His way in your relationships, those closest to you, and those not as close as they could be."Let us know what you think."
2022-03-1804 minBiblical Christian WorldviewThe "Main Thing" for a Biblical ChristianChristians 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. This 'Statement of Faith' is intended to be a...

And so said all the disciples. "As we seek Him today, don't deny that you deny. Lay out before Jesus what you are afraid of, what you have been afraid to lay out before Him until now. Die to your fear, and live."Let us know what you think."
2022-03-1604 minBiblical Christian WorldviewThe Book of Your LifeOur verse for today comes from Acts 1:1-2, “In the first book, Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when He was taken up, after He had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He had chosen.”As we seek Him today, consider the book you are writing with your life. What story are you telling, and who are you telling it to? Are you writing something worth passing along and reading?"Let us know what you think."
2022-03-1504 minBiblical Christian WorldviewGay Salvation from a Biblical Christian PerspectiveThe 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 marriage, but still works for others and ke...

You might not know exactly what that will be like, but it will look like Jesus."Let us know what you think."

Take God's direction as pleasing instructions from your Father."Let us know what you think."
2022-03-1103 minBiblical Christian WorldviewScience vs. ScriptureI 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 of the universe and everything in it. As t...

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 so many others do when Jehovah’s Witn...

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?

2022-03-0703 minBiblical Christian WorldviewWhy do Pastors get Involved in Politics?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 what God intended as worship. "Let us...

"As we seek Him today, confess to God if your eyes have been somewhere other than on Him. Commit to thankfulness and humility rather than complaining and judging. Commit to building up instead of tearing down."Let us know what you think."
2022-03-0403 minBiblical Christian WorldviewThe Satanic Temple – A Social Organization?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. I believe The Satanic Temple is exactly what a Biblical Christian would expect it to be. It is an arm of Satan trying to attract the lost, subvert the poor i...

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. Medium is a very large (over 60 million monthly readers) and predominately anti-Christian blog site which does not represent the broader and more balanced views of the American public. However, I have seen, first hand, the deeper iceberg below what is visible on the surface of the water. Initially, the vitriol of responses to...

GriefShare is a wonderful Biblical Christian counseling ministry, focused primarily on helping people deal with the loss of loved ones. Further, I am sure many Pastors who spend more time counseling members that preparing for their Sunday sermon would strongly disagree with me (at least I hope they would). But there seems to be a difference between publicly asking for prayer for Aunt Sally and her upcoming surgery, and the depths of despair the loss of a loved one can bring. It d...

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. In my correspondence with atheists and agnostics, I have been trying out a few pre-evangelism conversation starters. One involves the reality that God's ways are...

Through the Holy Spirit, as our “Counselor” (John 14:16–17), Christians move through a process of sanctification, learning about God, what He expects of us, and drawing closer to Him. Though Christians continue to sin, we should be convicted and repent of those practices, and, as such, should better display the “fruits of the Spirit” which includes “self-control” (Gal. 5:22–23). If true, then one should expect evidence in various aspects of life.This is the first in a series of articles looking at the differences between the general population and Biblical Christi...

Since these practices have been proven wrong, he further postulates that today’s Christians who quote the Bible should also be suspected of promoting similar abuses. The author begins by stating that “The Bible says so” is used by Christians as the “end of some argument [as] one final desperate play”. I would argue that Scripture should instead be the first and only basis of a response. "Let us know what y

There are many verses in Scripture that document the conditions found in Hell. To put it succinctly, Annihilationists believe that humans cannot exist in that environment and will be quickly burned up. In my opinion, their theology misses three points from a Biblical Christian Worldview.Mankind is made up of BOTH the physical and the spiritual.Scripture makes clear Hell is a...
