God Righteous, Holy, and  Just (hates sin) Psalms 71, 97,99,113, Isaiah 6:1-5, Romans 2:5

I did not put many Scripure verses in this category, but I feel this is so important to have these verses available to establish absolute truth in the Word.  The belief of our post modernist world is that truth is whatever you believe it is, and that truth is relative.  This is nothing new in history.  Isaiah 59 shows the devistating results of this attitude of belief in a society.  Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”  Jesus is the Truth.  It’s that simple.

Truth Proverbs 14:12, John 8:58, 14:6, 18:37, Ephesians 6:14, Hebrews 13:8, 2 John 1:1-4 

First I should define sovereignty.  Sovereignty is to have supreme power, to be all knowing, all powerful, and above all.  God is truly bigger than any of us can even imagine.  The Scriptures I have put under this category help us to understand who God is. 

Sovereignty of God (all knowing, all powerful, and above all) Genesis 50:18-21, Exodus 20:20, Deuteronomy 2:30, 20:1, Job 31:4, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalms 33:10-11, 94:11, 139, Proverbs 21:1, Jeremiah 32:16-25, Lamentations 3:37-38, Amos 3:6, Daniel 4:34-35, Matthew 10:30, Acts 17:23-31, Romans 11:33-36, 1 Corinthians 3:20, 8:6  

I have already quoted 2 Timothy 3:16-17 in the blog, but I feel it is the premisis for this category.  It says “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”  When people say that they believe in God, this can mean many things, and they could be creating their own god that has been prevalent throughout history.  The knowledge and beleif that all of the Bible was inspired by the true God, is one of the things that separates us as Christians from all the other religions.  The true God cannot be separated from His Word.  The very beginning of creation was spoken into existence by God.  (Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, and 29)  John 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”  Jesus was there in the beginning and is the Word.  Without the Word, we cannot know God.  The Word endures forever.  This is the list of Scriptures that I have to show us the vital importance of the Word and how it changes lives.

Word of God(sufficient for all areas of life-do not add to or take away from) Deuteronomy 8:3,12:32, 31:10-13, 32:47, 2 Samuel 23:2, 2 Kings 22 (King Josiah read the Word to the people and they turned to the Lord and repented), Psalm 12:6-7, 19:7-8, 78:2, 119:105,129,140-142,160, Proverbs 30:5-6, Jeremiah 1:4-9, Amos 8:11-12, Matthew 1:22, 2:15, 4:4, 24:35, Mark 16:20, John 1:1-5,14-15, 10:35, 12:48-50, 14:26, 16:13, 17:7-17, Acts 1:16, 20:32, Romans 1:16-17, 1 Corinthians 2:13-14, 4:6, 15:1-8, Ephesians 3:3-5, Galatians 1:11, 1 Timothy 4:13, 2 Timothy 1:10, 3:14-17, Hebrews 1:1-2, 4:12, 1 John 5:7, 1 Peter 1:22-25, 2 Peter 1:3,16-22, 1 John 5:7, Jude 17, Revelations 22:18-19

Our purpose is to assist families to know God and to have a Biblical worldveiw.  2 Timothy 3:16-17 says “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equiped for every good work.”  I have selected categories that I feel are important to be “thoroughly equiped” and to be prepared to defend our faith and to direct us and others where ever we are at.  In November of 2007 I started writing down and catergizing Scripture to be prepared when attacks to the Christian faith or issues with our faith leading us to being countercultural come up, and to direct myself and my family in living as God would have us live.  This has been mostly Scripture that I have found, but several of the subjects and Scripture passages have been ideas taken from Ministry matterials available in our website store.  Much credit must be given to Vision Forum Ministries, No Greater Joy Ministries, and American Vision Ministries. My Biblical Worldveiw guide has grown from that small start and I now have 105 different categories that I feel are very important.  They are:

My Biblical Worldveiw guide is not ment to be a complete list of what the Scriptures have to offer at all, and could never replace actively reading and studying the Bible on one’s own.  For me it started out as a reference guide to truth and defense of what God’s Word says.  I hope this is helpful in answering questions, directing people to look to the Scriptures for answers, and to be able to defend the stances many Christian homeschoolers are taking.  I look forward to your comments and feel free to disagree with what I have written.  I would ask that you would read all the Scriptures listed for a specific category before you post a comment.  Thank you!
