It influences everything in your life. Every time you make a decision, you access the worldview database in your mind and decide that, because you believe this, this is what you&#8217;re going to do. Your worldview influences every choice you make.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the problem: You are profoundly influenced by the worldviews of others. Every time you have a conversation, a worldview is being communicated. You are influenced by the worldviews of your parents, friends, an advertisement, or a newspaper article. Nothing is fair and balanced, because everyone has a worldview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is absolutely crucial, then, that you base your worldview on God&#8217;s Word, which is the only truth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In a national survey, 62 percent of Americans claimed they are deeply spiritual. When asked how that spirituality affects their decision making, 31 percent said they make moral choices based on &#8216;what feels right and comfortable,&#8217; 18 percent on &#8216;whatever is best for me,&#8217; 14 percent on &#8216;whatever causes the least conflict with others,&#8217; and only 16 percent on &#8216;what God&#8217;s Word says.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What does that mean? It means most Christians have a non-Christian worldview. You may be a Christian and headed for heaven, but you also can have a non-Christian worldview because you&#8217;ve based it on what you&#8217;ve learned from the world and not from the Word.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why is it important to stand up and speak the truth? Matthew 10:32 says, &#8220;Stand up for me against world opinion and I&#8217;ll stand up for you before my Father in heaven. If you turn tail and run, do you think I&#8217;ll cover for you?&#8221; (<em>The Message<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;God is telling you to make a stand for His truth. Taking that kind of stand requires an uncommon courage that is only available through the knowledge and understanding of God&#8217;s Word.&#8221; (Click here to subscribe to the <em>Daily Hope newsletter<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p>Blessings!<br \/>Michael Duduit<br \/>mailtmduduit@salempublishing.com<br \/>www.michaelduduit.com<\/p>\n<div style='clear:both'><\/div>\n<div class='the_champ_sharing_container the_champ_horizontal_sharing' data-super-socializer-href=\"https:\/\/www.preaching.com\/articles\/rick-warren-on-worldview-matters\/\">\n<div class='the_champ_sharing_title' style=\"font-weight:bold\">Share This On:<\/div>\n<div class=\"the_champ_sharing_ul\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style='clear:both'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his Daily Hope newsletter, Rick Warren talks about why worldview matters: &#8220;Your worldview includes how you see God, yourself, others, the past, present, and future, money, time, good and evil.
