FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS
This week, we researched what other worldviews worship. As a family, read the summary of each worldview.
Naturalism: If you use the naturalist map as your worldview map, you believe that the only things that are real are physical things. Physical things are what you can see, hear, taste, smell, and touch. Scientists call physical things matter. You believe that anything that is not made of matter, like God, cannot be real. Since only matter is real, matter is what is most important.
New Spirituality: If you use the new spiritualist map as your worldview map, you believe that spiritual things are what is real. Spiritual things are not physical. You believe that everything we can see, hear, taste, smell, and touch is not real but just shows us something spiritual. You believe that everything spiritual is made up of God. That means that plants, animals, humans, and everything else in the universe is a part of God. Because everything is God, you are God, which makes you most important! Because everything else is also a part of God, you believe it is important to become one with everything. You may try to become one with everything through meditation, yoga, or caring for the earth.
As a family, discuss what each worldview worships. How might worshiping these different things affect your choices and behaviors?
Spend some time thanking God for creating you to worship Him. Ask that God would be at work in the hearts and minds of those who follow naturalism and new spirituality, showing them that they were designed to worship Him.
