Random Thoughts: Worldviews

Can a generation capture God? Can they fully see Him in all His manifold wonder? Can they integrate His glory into human language? It is not that they are so much as wrong, but their perception is incomplete and it is proven so by the time the next generation is up and thinking for itself [could be the next mind or worldview]. And so we look back in history and see a progression. Is it into fullness? I don't know, for how can one progress from the finite into the infinite?

A riddle and a parable

The progression of worldviews -- is it that 2nd grade is better than first? Does a second grader have a fuller knowledge of reality than a first grader? Is the second grader closer to knowing more about everything? No, not really. But they are closer to maturity. Maturity does not relate to knowing more -- though we think so. No, it is about being more. And so it is with man and so it is with His church which is in the world but not of it. Both grow side by side and in many ways similarly. Be careful, do not pull them up before harvest lest you pull up the good with the worthless.

A Few Questions

• Should we even have a worldview?
• Should we just be able to engage another's worldview?
• Can our progression be the same song, different beat? What if worldviews were just remixes of the same old song?
