Worldview

Someone's worldview is their perspective on the world. It's the glasses that they see the world through. I had a teacher once tell me that your world view is like the framework to your beliefs. The framework must come first and must be the thing you base the rest of the building on. My question for myself, what is my worldview? Upon asking this question, the answer will be Biblical. As many Christians do these days, I listen to what they tell me in church and I try to live my life accordingly. I try to abstain from using foul language, immoral behavior, and I try to be an all around "good girl". Then my question becomes, is my world view Biblical or is it what I hear at church? If my "glasses" per say are the things the church says the Bible declare as true then how is my worldview Biblical. I'm not basing it on the Bible. I'm basing it on what someone else says the Bible says. I'm basing my beliefs on another man's doctrine. The Bible shouldn't be squeezed to fit into my worldview, it is my worldview. I know that I've trusted my church to tell me the right way to live, but I never questioned them at all. I never question if what they are teaching goes against a Biblical worldview. A good friend once said to me that "if the Bible can't stand alone, if you can't base your life on it without a man's doctrine, if you couldn't read it and know how God wants you to live, then you shouldn't be basing your whole life on it." I'm begining to wonder how many things I've just accepted and didn't test it with scripture. My church may be a Biblically based church, but "to err is human". I need to be testing what the church says by the Bible, not basing what the Bible says based on the church creed or doctrine. I'm not here to say that I know the Bible perfectly. I don't know that much about the Bible except what my church has taught me, but I'm on a mission, that mission being my life, to show the world that the Bible is what you live your life by. I'm not living by the churches standards anymore, I'm living by God's.
