Competence 1

It is critical to recognize the fact that, as a Christians, a biblical worldview is the foundation of my thinking and building of life. The Bible is my only rule of faith and practice. The Bible   informs my understanding of truth, reality, our place in the world, how the world got this way, morals and values, and how one can know what is truth. From a theistic point of view, God is the basis of reality (Gen.1:1-3). Reality is based on a person, an intelligent being (John 1:1-3; Col. 1:16) who is in control of the universe and is very interested in the affairs of man. Biblical theism affirms that man was created in the image of God, but is fallen (Gen. 1-3). Biblical theism answers the question, of why we have good and evil in our world? Rebellion brought separation from God, suffering and death (Gen. 3:6, Rom. 5:12). Truth comes from God (Jn. 14: 6,13, 17). Knowledge does not come from science; knowledge comes from God. There is more to nature than science can ever discover. My life calling is to take the message of the kingdom into all the world, I go around the world sharing the good news.
