World... who???

I'm helping organize Kingdom-World View Seminars... what is that about?? Well, we get that question a lot.

You know those deep questions in life; Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going? What's valuable? For some reason, every culture has asked that question (maybe it has to do with that verse in Ecclesiastes that says He's put eternity in people's hearts even if they don't understand it). "Worldview" it's about studying the different responses that different cultures have given to those questions. It goes deeper than that, it goes into studying how reality is interpreted in different ways by different cultures... what "glasses" do people see reality with. Then again it's not just about all that information; because we can study history, and philosophy, arts, science, geography, literature and all those from different perspectives and in the light of different religions, and that would only give us so much light we could go blind all together.

So? What to do then? ... We ask the Holy Spirit!! Oh relief! He knows what to do, He's the source of all true creativity and inspiration, He is God! Studying all these deep things is not about become smarter, or being able to analyze everything we see and do, even though that is the result of it sometimes. It's about the cross, it's about recognizing those people who truly had a Kingdom World-view and changed the course of history in their nation and ultimately in the world. It's about becoming inspired by those giant killers and following their lead into every sphere of society.

Christians with courage are the authors of such things as the first universities, the Red Cross, the abolition of slavery in England, changed economy systems to take their country out of deep poverty in Norway. People who saw heroes from the Bible like Daniel, David, Solomon, Joseph the dreamer, and instead of saying "why?" and giving all kinds of dogmatic pseudo-Christian excuses, they said "why not?" and believed God for the impossible!!

I believe those future heroes are hidden among us, some of them don't even know it yet, some have given up, some think they're calling is to "secular" and God could not possibly be calling to something such as politics, or anthropology. But Daddy God has started to give me His eyes to look at these treasures and recognize His dreams in them. I can only be faithful and become His accomplice in this amazing conspiracy to bring His Kingdom to all in all. There's no better place to be at!

um... so yeah, that's Worldview, or something like that...
