Worldview Matters

Jun 13, 2021    Pastor Nathan Harvey

Is there anything you can think of which is indispensable to your personal identity? Perhaps your hometown, family, or friends come to mind. While these are important aspects of what it means to be you, they do not travel physically with you everywhere you go. They are not present during those private moments while you are sitting in your room. But one thing sticks closer to you than your own reputation: it is your worldview  Our worldview matters. It impacts our faith, our outlook, and our identity. A worldview is a collection of attitudes, values, stories, and expectations about the world around us, which inform our every thought and action. Whether conscious or subconscious, every person has some type of worldview. A personal worldview is a combination of everything you believe to be true, and what you believe becomes the driving force behind every emotion, decision, and action. Therefore, it has an impact on your response to every area of life: from philosophy to science, theology and economics, law, politics, art and social order — everything.
