IDEAS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

BY JOHNNY HEARTB.C.

WE’RE IN A BATTLE! 2 Corinthians 10:3, 4 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:3, 4 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.”

WHERE’S THE BATTLEGROUND? 2 Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations (arguments, speculations), and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations (arguments, speculations), and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

THE BATTLEGROUND......Our Minds...Our Minds

THE PROBLEM “The basic problem of the Christians in this country in the last eighty years or so, in regard to society and in regard to government, is that they have seen things in bits and pieces instead of totals.” - Francis Schaeffer A Christian Manifesto, p. 17. “The basic problem of the Christians in this country in the last eighty years or so, in regard to society and in regard to government, is that they have seen things in bits and pieces instead of totals.” - Francis Schaeffer A Christian Manifesto, p. 17.

IMPORTANCE OF WORLDVIEW THINKING “Without a biblical worldview, all the great teaching goes in one ear and out the other. There are no intellectual pegs... in the mind of the individual to hang these truths on. So they just pass through. They don’t stick. They don’t make a difference.” - George Barna
