Moralistic Therapeutic Deism Worldview

161 Words1 Page

I agree with what you said about Moralistic Therapeutic Deism worldview among teens today is not broad enough because of it’s limited presentative of the world. Everyone in the world is not nice and kind due to evil present in the world. Salvation is the solution to sin in the world and that message is lost when someone think on good is present. The Bible states, “And you children, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord and prepare his way, to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins because of the tender mercy of our God” (Luke 1:76-78). God created man in his image, and we were created to have a relationship with him that consist of love, worship and stewardship.

  • Model Of Christian Charity

    734 Words  | 3 Pages

    For the early Americans, Christianity was a major influence on their everyday lifestyle. They used the Bible as their guide for living, worshiping and working. They believed that their deep devotion to God and acts of faith would keep them on good terms with God. In A Model of Christian Charity we see some of the ways to stay on good terms; Winthrop states, “to provide for our posterity, is to follow the counsel of Micah: to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.” In contrast when looking at Of Plymouth Plantation we see that there “was a proud and very profane young man” on board the Mayflower who “would always be contemning the poor people in their sickness and cursing them daily with grievous execrations.”

Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (2005) teenagers have been listening attentively, they have been observing their parents in a larger culture with diligence and insight. Understanding how little their parents believe, and how many of their churches and Christian institutions have accommodated themselves to the dominant culture.

    A worldview is a person’s perception of the world around them and how it came to be. This also applies to how one views other peoples’ moral codes in comparison to their own. According to Sire, a person’s worldview is being seen as a “commitment” to a person’s moral standing, or rather, their worldview is dictated by the person’s very self (20). This aids in one’s ability to set a foundation for their beliefs that they live their lives according too (Sire, 21). This also plays a factor in an individual’s personal code of ethics.
