Having a Christian worldview means being utterly convinced that biblical principles are not only true but also work better in the grit and grime of the real world.

In many churches, the message of justification- how to get right with God- is preached over and over again. But much less is said about sanctification- how to live after you're converted.

A part is always too limited to explain the whole. You might picture a worldview as trying to stuff the entire universe into a box. Invariably, something will stick out of the box. Its categories are too "small" to explain the world.

The more we learn about life, the less plausible is any evolutionary theory that relies on blind, undirected, piece-by-piece change.

Modern secular thought has its own dualism: It treats only the physical world as knowable and testable, while locking everything else - mind, spirit, morality, meaning - into the realm of private, subjective feelings. The so-called fact/value split.

Literary theory has become a parody of science, generating its own arcane jargon. In the process, tragically, it discourages love of literature for its own sake.

No one lives like a robot. We all make choices from the moment we wake up in the morning.
