Bob Roberts questions the usefulness of having a Christian worldview. See his post WHY I’M COMING TO NOT LIKE “CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW”. These two paragraphs really got me thinking:
Third, the kingdom of God is an unfolding journey moving towards God – not a rigid play book. For we Christians to believe in grace and the priesthood of the believer so much – we practice it very little. I’m reformed – but I’m no robot – I love the adventure, the journey, the unexpected turns, the people that come in and out of your life, the treasures you find unexpectedly and the deep learning you go through in times of pain and trouble. When we have a tight Christian worldview – there’s not much room for people to hear from God and move in ways we normally wouldn’t in mass.
Fourth, if I limit myself to my worldview – I will never truly understand where others are coming from. What made me, for good or bad, what I am today was not staying in Texas – but getting out of it and even more than that developing deep friendships with people of different cultures, ideas, religions, nations, etc., It enriched my faith and my dramatically and continues to do so.
