Worldview Matters: Taking Every Idea Captive
Everyone has a worldview. Christians should have a biblical worldview, but the studies show that most Christians have a secular worldview. They do not think Christianly about the issues of our day. Is that you?
God has much to say in the Bible about how we think. He warns us in His word to avoid being "taken captive" by philosophies and empty deceptions. Instead, He challenges us to "take every thought captive according to Christ."
Worldview Matters is a book to equip God's people to see the world through His eyes, to spot the enemy's lies, and to understand the times in which we are living. In this book, Aaron establishes the groundwork for developing a biblical worldview. He then gives an overview of six major worldviews and dives into a multitude of issues.
One's view of God affects his view of everything else. Worldview matters!
