You should pray like this... Our Father in heaven, help us to honor your name. Come and set up your kingdom, so that everyone on earth will obey you as you are obeyed in heaven (Mat 6:9-10, CEV)
Net twee regstellings op die vorige epos met die titel: Homoseksualiteit en die Bybel.
Hoe graag ek ook eerder met die debat wil klaarkry, hoe meer kom dit elke keer weer oor my pad. Omdat ek egter besluit het om ook die Doleer-pad te loop nav die AS-2019 besluite (waar Selfdegeslaghuwelike genormaliseer en aangemoedig word), kan ek nie anders as om ook te bly worstel met die vraag oor wat die Bybel oor die onderwerp sê en om my besluit daarteen voor die Here te verantwoord.
Ek het nou weer na die videos van ‘n konferensie in Moreletapark in 2006 gekyk. DIE BYBEL en SEKSUALITEIT – Aangebied deur ses van ons land se top-teoloë! (Seker nav daardie jaar se AS – sitting?)
As ek die aanbiedings en sterk oortuigings waarmee letterlik elke spreker Selfdegeslag-huwelike afwys op grond van die Bybel (in geheel – nie net oor ‘n paar tekste nie), dan kan ek nie glo dat daar nogtans later so oorgehel is by volgende Alg-Sinodes nie en ons nou by AS-2019 se besluite uitgekom het nie.
Ek dink dit sal baie goed wees om weer die materiaal so wyd as moontlik onder predikante en lidmate se aandag te bring. Daarom het ek moeite gedoen om die inligting (wat ek op Jaco De Beer se YouTube kanaal onder video’s gevind het) hieronder te deel. Deel dit gerus verder met diegene op jou webwerf.
L.W. Ek het nie “toestemming” vir die aanbieders gevra om hierdie weer te deel nie. Ek het die indruk gekry dat van hulle nie meer so gewillig is om hulle standpunte van destyds meer so openlik te propageer nie – ek kan dink dat die druk van ander teoloë wat die AS-2019 besluite intussen so sterk propageer, dit baie ongemaklik vir hulle moet maak en hulle dalk verkies om eerder laag te lê daaroor.

The IMPORTANCE of a BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW
Foundations to Endure a Storm
Our Lord warned of the danger of building one’s life on the sand. We need to build our lives upon the solid rock of the unchangeable Word of Almighty God. When the rain falls, the floods rise, the winds blow and the storm rages, the house built upon the rock will stand. However those built on the sand will collapse (Matthew 7:24-27).
Biblical Illiteracy is Having Devastating Consequences
Surveys indicate that amongst young people aged 16 to 25, less than 10% of church-goers have a Biblical Worldview. Over 75% view socialism as the best economic system. Over 60% feel that if what you believe offends someone, or hurts their feelings, then it is wrong! Tolerance of what the Bible describes as perversion is rising amongst young adults, while intolerance for Biblical standards for marriage, the family and society, is steadily increasing. The Word of God warns us “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” Romans 12:2
Failing to See the Big Picture
Most Christians tend to see the world “in bits and pieces” instead of the whole picture. Too many church-goers feel like Christians, but think like humanists. All too many seem to have Christian hearts, but humanist minds. “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8
30 Years Biblical Worldview Summits
That is why, for over 30 years, Frontline Fellowship has been organising Biblical Worldview Summits to encourage, equip and empower Bible-believing Christians to understand the times and to know what God’s people should do (1 Chronicles 12:32).
Responses and Reports
You can read Reports and Responses on previous Biblical Worldview Summits here. You can view some of the pictures on the Biblical Worldview Summit Facebook page, here. Over the next weeks, as the editing processes are completed, more audio, video and PowerPoint presentations from the latest BWS will be uploaded onto our website for your benefit.
The What, Why and How on Tough Issues
Christians need to know what they believe, why they believe it and how to articulate and defend the Faith to skeptics and critics. It is important that we do not avoid the tough issues and the recent BWS lectures included: How Can I live a Holy Life in a Polluted World?; How to Follow Christ in a Hostile World?; Psy War, Gaslighting and Stockholm Syndrome; Standing for Truth in a Fake World; Countering the Covid Cult; Resistance to Revolution; Education or Indoctrination?; Coping with Chaos – A Biblical Response; Economics or Embezzlement?; Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice; ; Weaponising Words and Toxic Terminology; What is Science?; Where Did Science Get Lost?; What is Evolution?; Whatever Happened to the Flood?; The Universe as God Made It; And All Those Millions of Years?; You Can Change Your World; Replacing Lies with Truth and much more.
