Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 731 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
I am Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
A Biblical Worldview Starting Point - Wisdom Wednesday


Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. Today is Day 731 of our Trek, and it is Wisdom Wednesday.  We continue this Wednesday to explore new trails on how to gain wisdom through a Biblical Worldview.  The first few weeks we will plot out what a Biblical Worldview is, and why it is so important as a Christ follower to interpret life through the lenses of a Biblical Worldview.   Once we lay the foundation we will then look at current issues that impact our world and society and explore them through the lens of a Biblical Worldview, instead of our society, culture, modern media, or social media. I do not desire to tell you what to think, but teach you how to think, so that you may be able to filter current issues and events through your Biblical Worldview.  You may not always agree with my view, and that is ok, and I am open to any comments that you may have on the subjects that we explore.

We are broadcasting from our studio at ‘The Big House’ in Marietta, OH.   When this trek originally airs, I will be heading back to Arizona for a week as we continue ramping up Phase II of our Mesa Townhome project.  The scope and magnitude of the project are formidable with a lot of details which we need to focus on to keep the project on schedule.

When Hazel returned to Children’s Hospital last week, her blood counts had dropped again, so they delayed her next round of chemo treatments until this week.  She will be tested locally to ensure her counts are high enough before heading back.  It is our prayer that she is able to continue with these treatments on a timely basis, so it does not extend her overall regimen any longer than required.

Last week on our Wisdom Wednesday we explored how to shape a Biblical Worldview, and today we will extend that subject and focus on what the starting point is when shaping a Biblical Worldview.  If you missed listening to the last two weeks, it would be good to go back to day-721 and day-726. So today we will explore:
A Biblical Worldview Starting Point
We ended last week with the foundation of a Biblical Worldview which comes from the Apostles Creed which says, we believe in God, creator of heaven and earth.  A worldview must offer a way to live that is consistent with reality by offering a comprehensive understanding of all areas of life and thought, every aspect of creation. As we said, earlier the starting point for a Biblical worldview brings us into the presence of God without delay. The central affirmation of Scripture is not only that there is a God but that God has acted and spoken in history. God is Lord and King over this world, ruling all things for his own glory, displaying his perfections in all that he does so that humans and other heavenly beings may worship and adore him. God is triune; there are within the Godhead three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  The concept of the Trinity was not fully understood until Christ was bodily present on earth.   Even today for some it is difficult to grasp the concept of one God manifested in three aspects.

To think wrongly about God is idolatry. Thinking rightly about God is eternal life which John 17:3 explains, And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.  Thinking rightly about God should be the believer’s life objective. We can think rightly about God because he is knowable, at least to the extent we can comprehend through His Spirit that resides within us. 1 Corinthians 2:11 puts it this way. No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s ...
