The weight of a gospel worldview
by John Mark Hobbins on Jul.23, 2010, under Connections, Gospel
Where you get your information, knowledge and beliefs says a lot about who you are. Do your beliefs come from the Internet, your newspaper, your mum, your workmates? What you believe depends on your priorities.
So your worldview matters; but the way you apply and share your worldview matters as well. Knowledge can be shared – and if you happen to be in the circles where accurate knowledge is shared you will do well.
Many want people to benefit from knowledge and they will pass that on. But some will share knowledge only with people in their own circle.
We have the privilege of knowing the truth – because we have God’s word. How we use that knowledge will have a profound effect on those we choose to share it with and those we withhold it from.
We are called to “Go … and make disciples of all nations.” Our decisions about where we do or do not take that Gospel will have a profound effect on the information, knowledge and beliefs people around us acquire.
So, where should we place the boundaries for Gospel proclamation?
