2.2. Worldview is rooted in faith commitment

2.3. You have a choice to worship God or worship idols

2.4. Worldview is expressed is not only what we think but also in the way we live

3. Reflection: When learning about this chapter I began to realize how in depth worldview really is and how it affects every aspect of our lives. Also learning that worldview was very informative to know the uses of worldview was used as a grid, a map and a lens to see the world. I find peace in knowing God does not conform to anyone's ideas or thoughts. God is all knowing and all seeing, and so he knows our mistakes before ever commiting them. How we see through our lens is that Christianity is a worldview and that we being made in God's image need to see to God's plan, to honor him and to be Holy in his image. I learned about epistomology and how intrigal it is to our learning and behavior in learning Christianity.

4.2. without Creation it is a shakey worldview with no direction.

4.2.1. In John 10, Jesus showed authority Jesus laid down His life and that it was not taken

4.3. The Gospel of Jesus stands at the climactic moment of a longer story

4.3.1. In the book of Colossionsit shows "the image of the invisible God"as well as it shows through God he shows us peace,grace and truth and the only way is through Him.

4.4.1. Shalom relates deep to creation meaning peace be upon you

4.5. The next stage after creation was solved was the Fall, and like the railroad track metaphor creation being the actual track we have fallen off the tracks and the act of redmption is getting back on the track.

4.7.1.1. The essential truththat sin is a problem! we see false Propechy every single day.

4.7.1.1.1. Ex nihilo-"out of nothing"

4.8. The fall is when it shows that sin affects everything,every decision you make and it corrupts every thought you could possibly have

5. CHAPTER 4 REFLECTION-

5.1. While I reflect on this week, I realized that Creation, Fall and Redemtion applies in every aspect of life. I learned about all the different worldviews and all other worldviews even if they are not Biblical, there is still an answer of how to fix each problem which shows that there is only one true and all knowing God, and that is who we believing in the Biblical worldview believes. I also learned Interpreting the Bible, deals with the LCO of Intergration of Faith and learning. I learned that fufilling our purpose and living as disciples is coinciding with the LCO of calling. I am beggining to understan some ore of the Christian Liberal arts, more and more as time goes on in the class.The LCO that I keep getting intrigued by is Intergration in Faith and Learning, and I have started to look that more and I would love more on how to learn it.
