Worldview and Values

Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
In a discussion led by Steve Gregg, the importance of aligning one's worldview with biblical principles and values is emphasized. This includes not just addressing a few cultural issues but tearing down whole structures of darkness and replacing them with truth and light. It is argued that every person has a set of values, whether they are aware of it or not, and that educators should be aware of the values they are instilling in their students. The discussion also touches on Christianity's stances on various social issues and the need to value what is important to God rather than what is highly esteemed by society.
