Proverbs 4:23 says, "Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." If you don't know what you believe and why you believe it, your life will be shaped by a worldview of changing opinions and faulty thinking. In this broadcast, Pastor Rick talks about how we need to adopt God's worldview so our behavior follows our beliefs and changes the world.
If you have no plan, no purpose, and no design for your life, then you'll just end up stumbling through life. But Pastor Rick wants you to experience God's blessing as you do the things God tells you to do — including getting your worldview in line with the reality of God's truth.
Did you know that God not only expects you to know what you believe and why you believe it but he also expects you to be able to explain what you believe to other people?
