Biblical World View
Having a Biblical worldview means that you see reality through the lens of scripture. As
Christians we make judgments about morality based on what scripture says to be moral. Have
you ever wondered if the commands of the Bible are true? If you are like me you have taken
these truths and simply assumed them to be true. “I know that your actions are wrong because
I assume this book is true.” I think you can see the humor in that statement. Unfortunately
some Christians do not. Even worse they are ill prepared to give a defense for what they
believe. If we as Christians are going to be so bold about claiming truth then I believe we must
be equipped to explain why we hold these truths. Until then we will simply be seen as a
clattering noise. Our arguments must have support.

CONGRATULATIONS, MOLLY WILSON
She placed 16th chair in the Honors All-State Orchestra at ILMEA this year. This is an orchestra that you
have to audition for after you audition for All-State. This means Molly is ranked 16th in the entire state
for violin. Way to go, Molly!
