Well hopefully some of the previous entries have given you a few reasons to begin re-considering your worldview and how important it is to your walk with the Lord. Even though you likely have some good Christian teachings in your mind, you still need a system to begin organizing them so that they can be recalled when it matters most.

You may have noticed that Bible is not constructed as a theological dictionary or textbook. God did not reveal Himself to us this way. Rather, He used stories or historical events with specific teachings embedded within them. So if we want to know the Lord’s thinking on a matter, we need to know both the historical events and the teachings associated with them.

In order to develop a Christian Worldview, we need begin where God began and study through all the major stories of the bible in a chronological order. Each story will lay a foundation of knowledge in a specific area of our thinking. As we progress through the stories, our knowledge will grow as the Lord reveals more.

I will use the diagram above to help our minds catch the “big picture” of what we need to understand. We will add to this diagram throughout our study, but to keep it simple now we will just take a look at the major 22 historical events found in the Bible. As I mentioned, each event has a basic set of teachings associated with it. Learning these events and their teachings as well as learning to tie them together is the purpose of this study.

So why are we only using these 22 historical events? Simply because they are referred to more often than other events, meaning they are more popular amongst the writers. This study is not completely comprehensive, but gives you the big "filing cabinet" so you can continue to learn more and file it in the proper place as you go.

We are going to focus on the most important content and develop our thinking one story at a time. Keep in mind that we will constantly set God’s divine viewpoint (DVP) against the human viewpoint (HVP). This is very helpful because you will not only know God’s thinking on the matter, you will also see the most popular view of man on a matter. This is a huge help because it makes the teachings of Scripture much more clear and our choices more distinct.
