But He turned and rebuked them and said, you do not know of what spirit you are. (MKJV)
-Luke 9:55
I have been greatly engrossed in some reflections on the Christian worldview among other things for sometime now. I share a piece of some of the thoughts I have been cogitating. Perhaps, just as always I intend to provoke thoughts along matters which matter and affect the daily lives of every human being.
A worldview is a fascinating enigma, a lens through which all other essence of life may be seen and by which all decision are made with reference to. Congruence of thoughts provide the foundation for a person's worldview. Congruence in thought patterns defines a person's worldview.
Yet, among the many thought I have been dealing with, the inconsistencies and dissociation within people's worldviews are astounding. We are gradually boxing ourselves into a corner where we tell ourselves we don't have to be consistent with a worldview. I have for instance met in the past month persons who in one breath honour the principles of honesty and diligence yet in another breath will cheat as long as it was convenient. It appears people are comfortable with the sweetener in the cake and yet dislike the bitter almonds. The irony although is that, it takes this blend among other things to make a good almond cake.
