What Do You Think: Are You Called?

January 21, 2020 | Freddy Davis

As a teenager, I attended a Christian youth conference, and during one of the services the preacher put an emphasis on “calling out the called.” What he meant by that was that he felt certain that there were people in the audience who had been called by God. His purpose…

Does Actual Reality Exist?

January 16, 2020 | Freddy Davis

In the past, when sharing information with their passengers, Air Canada would begin the announcement by saying “ladies and gentlemen.” That was their standard greeting. Recently, however, they made a change. Now when they make announcements, they begin by saying “everybody.” In another recent development, a British doctor lost his…

The Climate Change Fallacy

January 15, 2020 | Freddy Davis

In some ways it seems rather odd to even address the topic of climate change from a biblical worldview perspective. This topic has become so politicized that it seems that it should not even warrant a religious response. But it has become such a major topic of discussion on so…

You Live “As If”

January 13, 2020 | Freddy Davis

When I was in high school, one of the classes I took was biology. I actually enjoyed that class and learned a lot from it. One thing that helped, I think, was that I liked my teacher. She was very nice, and obviously very knowledgeable. There was one unit that…

Is Utopia on Earth Possible?

January 9, 2020 | Freddy Davis

These days, one particular political party, including most of its presidential candidates, are pushing hard to promote Socialist policies that will supposedly create utopia on earth. Just a sampling of the policies include: national rent control, welfare for illegal immigrants, doing away with prisons, abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs…

January 4, 2020 | Freddy Davis

When I served in Japan as a missionary and had the opportunity to share my faith with a Japanese person, it was generally not enough for me to simply share the Christian faith. The worldview background of Japanese culture consists of a unique combination of Animism and Far Eastern Thought.…

Immorality Normalized

January 3, 2020 | Freddy Davis

The normalization of sexual immorality has completely taken hold in American pop culture. I was watching a TV show recently, and in the show two of the unmarried characters were living together. Not only did their work colleagues think absolutely nothing of it, the man’s mother welcomed the woman as…

The Political Correctness Fallacy

December 27, 2019 | Freddy Davis

In modern day America, there are things you cannot say out loud if you do not want to be blasted in public as a bigot, a hater, or an ignoramus. For instance, referring to a person as “a cripple” used to be perfectly acceptable. At some point, that word offended…

Why You Need Worldview Knowledge

December 25, 2019 | Freddy Davis

Periodically, it is good to just go over the worldview basics in order to keep ourselves centered. Worldview concepts apply in so many areas, and we write about so many topics that are expressions of worldview, that it can sometimes be easy to lose focus. So, this article takes us…

The Sin of Praying

December 21, 2019 | Freddy Davis

Last October, Bill Lee, governor of Tennessee, declared October 10 as a “day of prayer, humility, and fasting” for the state. Government officials calling for a day of prayer has a long tradition in America, dating all the way back to our first president, George Washington. Of course, these days…
