The sense of all stylistic change is that the underlying view of the world changes.

The most consistent versions of materialism deny the reality of anything beyond matter - no soul, no spirit, no will, no mind. This is called reductionism: Humans are reduced to biochemical machines.

Americans have grown impatient with the relentless politicizing of every area of life.

The first step in conforming our intellect to God's truth is to die to our vanity, pride, and craving for respect from colleagues and the public. We must let go of the worldly motivations that drive us, praying to be motivated solely by a genuine desire to submit our minds to God's Word - and then to use that knowledge in service to others.

Developing a Christian worldview means submitting our entire self to God, in an act of devotion and service to Him.
