WOKE OR AWAKE? Adopting a Biblical World View
10/15/2023
WHAT IS WOKEISM?
Willingly Overlooking Known Evil
GOOGLE
"Someone who is aware of,
and actively attentive to important facts and issues, especially issues
of racial and social injustice.”
It’s an authoritarian worldview that seeks to deconstruct the foundations of our Christian faith by overwhelming, overpowering, and overthrowing those who do not adhere to its ideology.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?

WHAT AM I TO DO? Adopt A Biblical worldview
A comprehensive, panoramic perspective
from a particular standpoint.
Colossians 2:8-10
8 “See to it that no one takes you captive
through hollow and deceptive philosophy,
which depends on human tradition
and the elemental spiritual forces
of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity
lives in bodily form,
10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness.
He is the head over every power and authority.”
BENEFITS TO A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW
LOGICAL CONSISTENCY
EMPIRICAL ADEQUACY
EXISTENTIAL RELEVANCY

FIVE ASPECTS TO A WORLDVIEW
Victimhood IDENTITY In Christ
Galatians 4:7
“So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child;
and since you are His child,
God has made you also an heir.”
Humanistic THOUGHTS Biblical
The National Science Foundation
12 - 50,000 thoughts per day
80% Negative
95% Reoccurring
2 Corinthians 10:5
“We demolish arguments
and every pretension that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God,
and we take captive every thought
to make it obedient to Christ.”
Subjective TRUTH Objective
John 8:31-32
31 “If you hold to My teaching,
you are really My disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth,
and the truth will set you free.”

Central FEELINGS Byproduct
Jeremiah 17:9 (NKJV)
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;”
Glorify Self LIVING Glorify God
Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ
and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I now live in the body,
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.”
QUESTIONS
1. Is My IDENTITY In Christ?
2. Am I Taking THOUGHTS
and Making Them Captive?
3. Am I Living God's TRUTH and Not My Own?
4. Are My FEELINGS Subject to Truth?
5. Am I LIVING Out God's Greatness in All That I Do?
