What’s a Worldview?
• “A worldview is the framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world.” (Del Tackett)
• Everyone has a worldview!
• It affects your response to every area of life!
![Page 21: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What’s a Biblical Worldview?
• Viewing all things through the lens of the Bible. You believe the Bible is entirely true! “…Thy Word is Truth.” (John 17:17)
• Typically this includes our view of issues such as the nature of God, man, the meaning of life, nature, death, right and wrong.
• There is absolute Truth found in the person of Jesus Christ!
![Page 22: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why Biblical Worldview?
• Our changing world – Unchanging Truth!
• Research indicates that only 9%of all American adults have a biblical worldview including those who describe themselves as “born again” Christians.
• Media, movies, commercials, television, video games, music, technology…all shape our worldview and that of our children!
• The 4-14 window!
![Page 23: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Teaching Biblical Worldview
• “Our concern for the purpose of education goes well beyond the immediate function of providing students with an opportunity for better jobs and more of the “good life”..[or]to score well on tests….All these earthly tasks and purposes should be carried out within the framework of an eternal purpose, a purpose given to us by God, thus greatly affecting what we try to do and why.”
Donovan L. Graham (Teaching Redemptively)
![Page 24: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

“We don’t want our students to begin to compartmentalize but to begin to
learn to make connections between the transcendent and the particulars
in their own life….We need to be careful that our worldview travels from our
heads (knowledge, beliefs), to our hearts(values, convictions), to our hands
(actions, service).”

Biblical Answers
1) What is the nature of God or ultimate reality?
There is a God
He rules of all things, both visible and invisible

Biblical Answers
2) What is the nature of the world around us?
The world is orderly, spiritual, and dependent upon God
![Page 31: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Biblical Answers
3) What is a human being?
Man is a unique image bearer of God
Man is spiritual, relational, rational, creational, and moral
Man is the only creature made in the image of God, therefore, all men can’t help but reflect some attribute of their Creator (thus in art, science, literature, music, even other theologies, we see glimpses of the Judeo Christian God!)

Biblical Answers
4) What happens to a person at death?
Death is the end of life on earth as we know it, but also the beginning of another existence – an eternal existence with God for believers, or complete separation from Him for non believers.

Biblical Answers
5) Why is it possible to know anything at all?
All wisdom and knowledge comes from God.
He is Truth
Romans 1:20 – “For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so men are without excuse.”
Truth is revealed in God’s Word (Psalm 19)

Biblical Answers
6) How do we know what is right and wrong?
God is good and just (both the holiness and mercy of God)
Through Him we understand the difference between right and wrong.
“It is man who makes the moral decisions which should be based upon not what he can do but what he ought to do!” (Steve Collums)

Creation
• God speaks
• It is GOOD!
• It was made to reflect the GLORY of God (Romans 1:20)
• Man was made in the image of God.
• We were made to worship.
• We were made to be in relationships.

The Fall
• Seed of sin
• The need for a blood sacrifice
• Shame, blame, irrational fear, improper desires, broken relationships, conflict, individualism
• All of creation has fallen
• Death
• “There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every person which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator.” (Blaise Pascal – 1660 mathematician/philosopher)

Redemption
• Global and individual atonement
• “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” (II Corinthians 5:17 - 20)
• The cross is the central point of history (His-story).

The Heart of the Matter!
First and foremost we must recognize
that a proper Christian worldview will
be formed in our students’ lives
through a relationship with Christ! The
one who is Truth!
![Page 44: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
My Testimony
To know the Bible is one
good, to know the
author is better!
“To know the Bible is good;
to know the author is better.”
![Page 45: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Growing Truth Centered Teachers
“… the crux of the problem lies with
the teacher. The fact is
inescapable, the world view of the
teacher, in so far as he is effective,
gradually conditions the world view
of the pupil..”
(Frank E. Gaebelein
The Pattern of God’s Truth)
![Page 46: Teaching Truth in the 21 Century Classroom...Teaching Truth in the 21st Century Classroom Session 1: The Truth-Centered Teacher ... of life and the world.” (Del Tackett) •Everyone](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f3463678ff5ba417e4c4617/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Growing Truth Centered Teachers
“In all honesty, it must be admitted that no
teacher or minister who does not have the
Bible at the center of his life and thought
to the extent of living daily in this book can
hope to develop a Christian frame of
reference.”
(Frank E. Gaebelein
The Pattern of God’s Truth)

Growing Truth Centered Teachers
The effective teacher always teaches from the
overflow of a full life….If you stop growing
today, you stop teaching tomorrow.”
“Kids aren’t looking for a perfect teacher, just
an honest one, and a growing one…”
Dr. Howard Hendricks

Dr. Howard Hendricks –Teaching to Change Lives
“Spiritual growth should not be
compartmentalized, but integrated
with every other aspect of
life...[We]cannot fully develop spiritually
unless [we] develop in life’s other areas
as well – intellectually, physically,
socially, and emotionally.”
