Community, ....encourage one another

Don't travel life's journey alone, if you can help it.  Be available to encourage each other as you talk about Jesus, ....read your Bibles together.  PRAY together.  Stuff like that.  ....I'm in a men's Bible study group, and its great to be following Jesus together, ....encouraging each other.  ....Find a good church and travel life's road together with other Believers, sharing Jesus.  .......Hmm?, ....yes, looks like I keep saying "together".  SMILE....

Be an encourager.  Be a mentor.  Be a friend.

There are no "stand-alone" BIG choices

Oh, ....and something else this Grandpa finally figured out....

There is no such thing in life as "stand-alone" BIG choices, leading to BIG outcomes!  Life flows one day at a time with accumulation of each "small" decision ....building upon a previous choice and its resulting outcome, ....which can lead up to what we might think are "BIG" choice outcomes.  ....But we got there just one step at a time.

This includes building your meaningful relationships, ....who you are as a person, ....your worldview perspective on life, ....and more.  

Make all decisions understanding this — life is about one small choice at a time.  Keep building your life on a solid Biblical foundation, ....trusting Jesus one decision at a time.  Make Jesus your heartfelt and mental framework for living, ....including your values, morals, attitudes, knowledge, perspectives, opinions, etc. ....Your life's future is yours to build, nurture, ....so CHOOSE WELL, FINISH WELL.

‍

So, now ....let me ask you THE question....

‍

What's your assignment from Jesus?

I ask, ....because we've traveled a long way together in these KnowYourWorldview pages.  You're still with me on this last chapter, because you have a passion for more of God in your life.  ....That tells me a lot about your worldview. ‍

So, what is Jesus calling you to do?  What skills, talents do you have that He wants to use in proclaiming the Gospel Message ....to people who need a Savior, Lord, ....and Friend?  ....Be encouraged to listen for His voice calling.  

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.  Do you have the gift of speaking?  Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you.  Do you have the gift of helping others?  Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies.  Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ.  All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
    — 1 Peter 4:10-11 NLT

As an example,

....how did this website get launched to challenge you in knowing your Biblical worldview?  I don't have a "gift of speaking", ....but I can write training websites.  

God did not leave me guessing....

Let me tell you about the "God-Moment" ....confirming this website assignment....

Okay, so how did an 80-ish Grandpa create this website?  Well, I looked again at those few emails written in 2023 to my Grandchildren, ....and started imagining "Lord, what if...?", ....and asking "What do You want me to say about...?"  .......SMILE, and as you can see from our Menu's 25 chapters, ....seems God has a lot more He wants to talk about ....with EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO KNOW HIM MORE.

.......Here was "my" problem.  I'm retired and don't have funds available to pay for web programing.  So, how am "I" going to finish and launch this website?  

Well, ....remember back in 1982, when God said He was already "there" in my future "now" moments? See our sand dunes conversation in chapter 14.

In this "now" moment, God did not leave me guessing about COMPLETING His assignment to create this KnowYourWorldview.org website.  ....Perhaps you can relate to my story.

This is how God did it....

‍

Started with God giving me a "heart-thing" for my Grandchildren, that took shape in writing emails about Know Your "Biblical" Worldview.  I finished and sent those emails in early December for their Christmas 2023.

....the following week....

Maggie and I had that breathtaking God-Moment on December 14th.  You read about it in Chapter 15.  ....My response?  Lord, you have my total attention.  What do you want to talk about?

....a few weeks later....

In January 2024, God and I were talking about some stuff, when He nudged me about rewriting those emails into an Open Book website.  ....So, I started thinking about it.  Went through a "what's this going to look like" phase, asking God about direction, ....and then ....I ....just ....started ....writing.  .......His direction became clear, as I stepped out in faith ....and started writing.  

Yes, there was a lot of editing and rewriting.  ....But I would not trade this Quest journey for anything!  ....Wow, what an experience hanging out with Jesus this past year.

Same for you responding in faith!  ....You will see God's path open before you ....in whatever your assignment is FROM HIM, ....as you step out in faith.‍

 ....then the "God-Moment" confirming this Open Book website assignment.

‍

Next month in February 2024, I received a surprise offer to purchase Arkeo.com from GoDaddy.com name-brokers.  Someone wanted to buy my Arkeo.com name.  ....Being a 5-letter ".com" web address had some value.

Arkeo.com was my media company's website address since late 1990s, ....and I kept the name for good memories sake after retiring in 2009 (name is Strong's G714).  For the past 15 years, Arkeo.com was parked unused, ....until God sent someone to purchase the domain name ....and fund online programming for KnowYourWorldview.org. SMILE, ....interesting timing, ....and obvious God was assuring me to build this site!

Shortly after, God led me to great programmers, Nic and Marc.  God's got this!

....SMILE, how many ways can you spell "God wants this website done!"

So, here we are.  This website is done.  ....And we are nearing the end of our Quest journey together....  What's next for you?

In my story, you see how our amazing Lord God Almighty ....does not leave us guessing, ....when HE has given us an assignment.  God is ALWAYS THERE to make it happen ....as we step out in faith!  .......Did I expect to write 25 chapters, ....or take a year to get this website online?  No.  And no.  ....BUT, what an incredible Quest journey I'm having with my Friend Jesus!‍

And perhaps YOUR QUEST is the reason this website was created....  So, back to THE question....

‍

Does God have an assignment for you?

Whether your assignment is big or small (could be as simple as telling someone that "Jesus loves them"), ....perhaps today is a confirmation or....

....a starting point for your assignment working with Jesus.

Do you know what God is asking you to do?  Are there any challenges or problems that you think are too difficult to proceed?  ....SMILE, ....by now you already know the verse that comes to mind....

My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.”
And my heart responds, “LORD, I am coming.”
    — Psalm 27:8 NLT

‍

.......I'll stay here awhile with you, ....let the Holy Spirit and you talk about it.  SMILE....

‍

‍

Well, ....there it is, ....nearly everything you need to know about knowing your Biblical worldview.  ....For the rest of the details personal to you, ....ask Jesus, ....He knows everything!

Okay, ....that's enough, ....I'm retired you know.  SMILE....  Its been a great Quest!  Really enjoyed traveling with you.  .......If you ever want to talk more about Jesus, ....come find us out on the dock.  There is no better way to travel through life ....than with Jesus.  SMILE, ....and you can quote me on that!

Before you go on, let me pray for you....

Since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
    — Hebrews 12:1 NLT

Amen.  Maranatha!
