Summary: Biblical Worldview

Biblical Worldview When God started creating everything, after He finished creating it He would say “It was good.” (Genesis 1) God has always had a hand in His creation whether He was creating something or He was leading a group of people, God was involved. God is the Maker of all things, God did not build on anything that was already there, He made it from nothing with the Father, Son and, Spirit being involved. (Akin, 2014) God has always been involved with his creation; He would find kings like Saul and David for Israel by using Samuel. He would move groups of people into power to further his purpose of bring Jesus to this world. This is famously known through the Romans, who became so powerful and then ultimately were the ones who had
An example of God being involved in his creation’s life is when Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were thrown into the furnace by Nebuchadnezzar’s guards. Nebuchadnezzar thought they would be burned only to see God protect these men and bring them out of the furnace. (Daniel 3) Another example would be when Peter and John were arrested. While preaching the gospel Peter and John were arrested because of the miracles and teachings they were doing, but the whole time the Bible states “Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit.” It shows that God was empowering Peter and John helping lead to their later release from jail.

By the time I graduate from college I would love to have a job working with some sort youth ministry, i.e. teens or kids. In the meantime I would also continue my part-time job as
When you have to deal with other people, you can guarantee that issues will arise. This is something that every ministry sees and tries to avoid as it can cause issues. God will work in a ministry if they are working for God. James 4:8 says “if we draw a nigh to God, and he will draw a nigh to you (us).” If the connection with God is strong enough it will encourage others to jump on board with the vision of that ministry. A.W. Tozer said “There are rare Christians whose very presence incites others to be better Christians. I want to be that rare Christian.” The gathering and betterment of other Christians are evident as Peter and John lived this out in during The Day of Pentecost, when they preached and thousands were saved. (Acts 2) I believe that if someone is seeking to serve God and is pursuing God’s heart, God will use that person in ways they may never imagine and attract others to His
