How can we have a better grasp of a Biblical worldview?
We humans like to compartmentalize things. We like our boxes and security.
Having a Biblical worldview however, for me crosses over in both personal and professional practice.
Why?
Personally, it is only by taking time with God that we can deepen or understanding of God and that naturally out flows in how we live (or it should)
Professionally, there are many concepts of what community is. Many people believe that community and community spirit is dead. In my experience that is largely from people who consider community to be geographic in its nature.
I believe that community is indeed alive and well, since there are many forms of community. (See a detailed explanation on infed website.)
We like to have a firm grasp on things and so often we put God in a box. I can learn so much from my daughter. She has grown up with or grace before dinner and its natural to her. Inviting a friend to an Christian event, or for a picnic makes no difference.
Sometimes we adults just get caught up in wondering what will people think that we actually don't get round to asking anyone to a Christian event.
We know the truth but we get so easily tied in knots.
We need to develop practices that stop us from battering ourselves down. God wants us to bloom and flourish.
The fact is that we all have a different piece of the jigsaw. We need to grasp how God sees us. He loves to create and he invites us to join Him co-work with him. He wants us to bloom.
I wanted to say this is work, this is family but actually its all me. I want to be salt and light where ever I am. I want people to see God's heart for them.
Of course we all have to have boundaries of some kind, otherwise we would never get rest and would quickly burn out.
We have to get a balance. In order to do that we have to make sure we are fed spiritually and that we are attentive to the Holy Spirit's guiding.
