Introduction In today’s culture, living out a Biblical worldview can be challenging. Nevertheless, as followers of Christ, we are called to do just that. Matthew 5:16 calls believers to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (English Standard Version.)
