BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW
REASONS YOU NEED TO
HELP FAMILIES DEVELOP A
By Dr. Glen Schultz
I
RECENTLY READ an article that reported on George
Barna’s speech to an Ohio pro-life organization. The
report caused me great alarm as it revealed the state of
Americans in relation to their worldview. Barna told the
pro-life advocates that their movement faces some major
challenges in the days ahead. These challenges are a result
of society’s departure from biblical principles guiding their
decisions. The report revealed that families struggle to train
children with a biblical worldview.
THREE REASONS TO EXPAND YOUR WORLDVIEW
TRAINING TO INCLUDE THE HOME
1. FAMILIES ARE BUSY
Parents need help prioritizing the spiritual development of
children. When we are not busy at work, we find ourselves
rushing here and there for church and school activities and
athletics. One of the things Barna noted is something that
all of us are probably aware of ourselves. It seems like every-
body is too busy! I am convinced the enemy is content with
Christians staying distracted by life’s busyness, rendering
them useless in the fight against the secularization of society.
2. FAMILIES ARE INUNDATED WITH INFORMATION
In addition to the busyness that consumes us, we are also
inundated with large amounts of information. Parents need
help discerning what voices to listen to and what to reject.
Much of the information that bombards us daily really has
no impact on our lives. We hear or read about accidents that
occur halfway around the world as if it just took place outside
“One does what
one believes!”
