A worldview is the framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world. “[It’s] any ideology, philosophy, theology, movement or religion that provides an overarching approach to understanding God, the world and man’s relations to God and the world.”  David Noebel: “Understanding the Times.”

Barna says, “Although most people own a Bible and know some of its content, our research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life.”

Freedom: “Freedom is being able to do what you want without restraint.”

“I break away from all conventions that do not lead to my earthly success and happiness.”…Satanic Bible

True freedom isn’t just Freedom From…its Freedom To…natural desires are conformed to his will…not my will, but your will be done.

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2 (NIV)

We have been looking at the wrong reflection.

“Personal World View Adjustment” - Rafiki

”Knock”– that’s not who you are – that’s not what you believe-Go look at your reflection through the living image of the King/who is your Father – (Mufasa/Sima Reflection)- “You are my Son”

You are made in the image of God

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:27 (NIV)

You are a son/daughter of The King

12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Romans 8:12-17 (NIV)

You were created to rule and reign for Good

22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

2 Timothy 2:22-26 (NIV)
