Biblical View or World View

    An article I read by Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis said only about 3% of children believe in all 7 cornersstones of the Bible which are: 

1. God exists and is the all-knowing, all-powerful, perfect Creator and ruler of the universe.

2.  As a sinner, the only solution to the consequences of sin is to acknowledge your sins, ask God to forgive you through Jesus Christ, and rely on Him to save you from those consequences.

3.  Sin is real, and significant; we are all sinners, by choice.

4.  Your most important reason for living is to do what God wants.

5.  You trust the Bible because it is completely true and personally relevant to your life.

6.  The Bible provides a complete and reliable understanding of right and wrong.

7.  Success is consistently doing what the Bible teaches.

 The majority only agreed with one or two, rejecting or stating they were unsure about the others.

 So what worldview are these children forming?   A worldview of syncretism—The dominant worldview in the West today as people combine a little bit of this and a little bit of that into a religion of their own making. They are following in the footsteps of their parents, only 2% of whom have a biblical worldview, and 96% of whom are Syncretists. That mindset and lifestyle is modeled for their children every day and has become the comfortable default position among most adults, teens, and children who call themselves Christian. Researcher George Barna

 Every person has a worldview. The question is whether it is the right worldview. And the answer to that is this: “The only correct worldview is the one grounded on God’s Word.” Every other worldview is ultimately founded in man’s opinion (man’s word) and is therefore subjective and arbitrary. The only absolute worldview is the one that comes from God’s Word.

 It means teaching them the theology and doctrine of God’s Word so they can look at the world through the right lens. It means teaching them the gospel so they understand what Jesus did for them and how they can be saved. It means always taking everything back to Scripture as the ultimate authority.
