16. Biblical Christian Worldview
Christians have very gradually
“become disturbed over permissiveness,
pornography, the public schools, the
breakdown of the family and finally
abortion. But they have not seen this as a
totality---each thing being a part, a
symptom of a much larger problem. They
have failed to see that all of this has
come about due to the shift in
worldview---that is, through a
fundamental
change in the
overall way
people think
and view the
world and life
as a whole.”
