Everyone has a worldview, even if they don’t realize it and even if they have not carefully thought it out. Today there is a war on concerning what worldview will be adopted by citizens of each country.
Below is one of those lists, from Universe Next Door (IVP Academic, 2020), James Sire:
We are excited to announce changes in our upcoming course, Introduction to Christian Life Coaching. This course will lay a foundation to Christian Life Coaching by teaching the fundamentals to being a Life Coach. This course will allow you to commune daily with the Lord and spend more time with Him through prayer and journaling. To accommodate your learning preferences, we’re offering two ways to participate:
LaWanda - Jesus, precious Lord. I speak the name of Jesus over ME. What a beautiful thought, Lord. O cover me today in all of who you are!
Christian Leadership University students find their lives are transformed by learning how to hear God's voice. Below is an example of such a book. Check it out!
Do you take insults personally? When someone seems to be overly sensitive do you tell them not to take it personally? If you are a person how else would you take it? Yet this is common terminology that is well understood even if the underlying principle is seldom articulated. How fragile is your identity? Is it externally based, dependent on the affirmation and approval of others, and therefore subject to rise and fall based on their whims? This is a weak sense of self. Or is it internally based, given by me, and therefore independent of external circumstances?
Do the founding documents of your country promise you the right to pursue happiness? This isn’t true for everyone, but this is an idea with universal appeal. Have you engaged in this pursuit? How successful have you been? Do you know how to go about it and what would make you happy? Most people think that unlimited self-indulgence is the best approach if they can implement it. Have you noticed that those do end up spoiled and disillusioned rather than happy? What other approaches are there?
You know that you are to forgive others. This is a very strong theme in your faith. When you are faced with a situation that calls for forgiveness, do you try to find a good reason to do it? Do you come up with excuses or rationalizations on the part of the offending party that would explain their actions? Does this make it easier to grant forgiveness? Is this an expression of rigorous thinking? It probably isn’t when you do it on your own behalf, and even less so when you do it on behalf of another person, but if it makes it easier for you to practice forgiveness by all means keep it up.
Do you like variety? Everyone likes ice cream, and there is a reason that it comes in so many flavors. Is there a spiritual counterpart to this? Do you understand that my mercies are new every morning? This implies that there is a fresh and unique quality to my mercy for each day. Have you experienced this yourself? Each day is different and has it’s own challenges and difficulties. You have my promise that I will craft a new version of mercy to meet the needs of each moment. You may not think of mercy and grace in terms of flavors, but it is an appropriate metaphor.
