The first time I learned about a worldview was during my first college course at Belhaven University.I was told that we would write a worldview paper and throughout our time at the university revive it as we learn and grow.My worldview would identify as a Christian worldview.I believe that I was created by God for a special purpose that can only be revealed through Him.In the Bible it says, “ Many are called but few are chosen.”(Matthew 22:14)(KJV) Jesus is saying that many are invited to the kingdom, but only those who have decide to receive Christ will come.
Many times people find it hard to believe in something or someone they cannot see, touch, or feel. I believe God gave us these physical features and six senses for many reasons; one reason is to see and hear His creations and Him .We can see God but some are not aware of it. God wants us to have faith and believe in Him, despite our inability to physically see Him with our eyes. His eternal power and divine character can be known through His creation, which allows us to see and feel him.I know from experience that It takes faith to believe in people and things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. I have tried to solve my problems myself in the past and have failed every time.But when I finally let go and let God have His way, I found relief.I must admit my pride and ego was crush during the test but in the end , I grew the most.
God wants people to develop a strong character and grow spiritually in Him. If people listen to God, He will shape them into the person that reflects His imagine In 2 Peter 1:5-8 it says, “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and t...

...y. We as Christian need to consistently study the word of God and meditate on it and give voice to His word by exercising our dominion.

Hope for me personally means no matter what adversities or trails I may face, I know God and if I keep him first, I will be successful in any journey. When I think about the needs in the world, I know it requires a joint effort and being successful in ending issues is not a destination but it’s a continuing to make process, to growth and rebuild.
...an inspire us to overcome in every situation; to pursue our callings relentlessly, knowing that he that hath begun a good work in us will perform it until the day of our Lord Christ Jesus!
When World’s Collide Reflection Paper To begin, before viewing this film and taking this course, I possessed a very broad sense of the tragedy of the conquered indigenous natives in both the Latin America’s and the USA. I have always despised the ethnocentric depictions of history throughout movies, images, textbooks, as well as other media and musical influences. This film truly helped expand my knowledge and put what we have read so far into perspective. Before this film, one concept that was unknown to me was the fact that corn, or Teocicle, was an import and not native to either Europe or Spain.

Each with different thoughts of how we perceive God and what we think he wants from us. By using our talents and gifts wisely and just we are giving praise back to our creator (1 Timothy 6:17).
The worldview that I embrace in my everyday life is European worldview, although I am Mexican the European worldview over weights the worldview that people will assume I have. I embrace the European worldview because the aesthetics,epistemolgy,cosmology,ontology and axiology that deal with that worldview are all genuine beliefs of mine that constantly affect me in my everyday life.

All across the United States Christians are talking about this term called Worldview. What is it anyway? Many times, we release our guard and end up allowing society to change our thinking into what the rest of the “popular culture” thinks of our very being. As Christians, we should be giving scriptural backup for whatever conclusions one makes about this culture.
My own definition of worldview is set of beliefs about the most important issues in life and my reaction to it. While in agreement with Jeff Baldwin’s eyeglass concept, I choose to compare my Christian worldview to an internal navigational system. When I am lost and need to be found, Christ is omnipresent. He knows my location and guides me into another direction. “It’s a roadmap, a guide for getting around in life, for interpreting reality, and for making choices” (The Importance of Worldview, 2011, p.11). Hopefully my final destination will be in the “city of gold, as clear as glass” (NLT, Revelation, 21:18).
All people have a worldview that is based on personal beliefs forming their reality and what they feel is meaningful in life.

Although we may not all see eye to eye, we all still have our own worldview. The central idea of a worldview is to be the different beliefs that is an understanding of how we see the world around us. It will be understood by how a person feels about different emotions and ideas that are encountered on a daily basis. A worldview is a response of our heart or inner being: our intellect, emotion and will. (Weider, Gutierrez,59) We create our own personal worldview based on things we believe are true and norms to society. A worldview perspective shapes, influences, and generally directs a person's entire life. (Samples 2007)
