When Worlds Colide: Stepping Up And Standing Out In An Anti-God Culture Analysis

There are over 7,000,000,000 people in this world that make it impossible for someone to go through their entire life without colliding with another human being. Each person has their own unique way of colliding with others that is dependent on their worldview and fears. For example, in the book, When Worlds Collide: Stepping Up and Standing Out in an Anti-God Culture, Mike and Daniel Blackaby talk about what it means for a Christian to stand up to the world's philosophies without giving up their faith. They share how there are different types of "colliders", such as cave-ins and cave dwellers. This book has been both a challenging and exhilarating book to read. It has challenged me to evaluate my own life and compare it with God’s desires
There were two groups of friends who both shared contrasting thoughts. One person aggravated me by getting me into trouble during a challenging time of my life. Without thinking, I went to my friends almost in tears because I was so angry. I described what happened to them, but we ended up in trouble for ‘gossiping’. In spite of that, I knew that if I hadn’t said anything I probably would have run away or something. The Bible says to love everyone, but my emotions were strong... Everyone got so annoyed with each other. The opposing side seemed to be saying hurtful and offensive things towards us. Admittingly, we were talking behind their backs about them, but they also were doing that to us (I know that still doesn’t make it right, but read on and I shall explain why that upsets me). They then lied, which caused more chaos and disagreement. Despite some members trying to take counsel from teachers, it only seemed to make matters worse. My friend group did not seem to have a voice. Both sides were confused and were continually feeding the division despite trying to resolve the situation. Even if we tried, the teacher most likely wouldn’t have believed us. Other than that, I haven’t really collided or anything
I have a fear of eating and gaining weight and such. This fear really can inhibit me and prevents me from going out and doing things with my friend because I am terrified of having to eat in front of other people. In other situations, I find it rather normal and can get away with not eating or just eating a slight amount. But because of this fear, it is harder and harder to go out with people and overcome it when I am outside. This also can inhibit me to become a better collider. One way this is true is because it stalls me from going deeper into the world and also doesn’t portray the type of faith that Christians should
