<quote>I was also praising God for the gifts he’s given Rowan.</block>
Shame they’re not genetic…
Following on from Rowan’s last point Nick Pollard IFES UK staff evangelist, suggests that people are reluctant to think clearly about their worldview and are particularly reluctant to take seriously anyone who makes absolute claims or demands especially Jesus.Therefore we must find ways to help them think about their worldviews so that,in turn,we can then help them to think about the life and teachings of Jesus.
He suggests Positive Deconstruction.1. Identify their underlying worldview. 2. Analyse it. 3. Affirm the elements of truth it contains. 4. Discover its errors.
3 Tests to determine if the worldview is true are 1. Does it cohere? ie.makes sense, 2. Does it correspond with reality? 3. Does it work?
Nick uses this approach with individuals , small groups and larger meetings.
