Freedom in Christ: What the Bible Really Teaches

Anchored in the Truth of God’s Word

In this weekend reflection from Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins reflects on Psalm 119:160 and the enduring truth of God's Word. In a world filled with confusion about identity, morality, and truth, Christians are called to be anchored in Scripture. God has not left His people to drift with cultural trends or shifting opinions. He has spoken finally, fully, and sufficiently in His Word. This episode encourages believers to consider what is shaping their thinking and to build their lives faithfully on the truth of God's Word.

Truth Is Not Relative

In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins addresses the cultural claim that truth is relative. Many today say that everyone has their own truth, but Scripture teaches that truth is not created by us. Truth is grounded in God's unchanging character and revealed in His Word. From John 17:17, this episode explains why relativism collapses under its own claims, why God's Word provides a firm foundation for truth, and how Christians can speak truth with clarity, humility, and confidence in a confused age.

New Age Awakening and the Counterfeit of True Salvation

Doreen Virtue explains what the New Age means by being "awakened" or "waking up" and why this idea is a counterfeit of biblical salvation. New Age awakening points people toward oneness, non-duality, and the lie that humanity is divine. Scripture exposes this deception and points sinners to repentance, faith, and salvation in Jesus Christ alone.

Every Person Has a Worldview

Every person has a worldview, whether they recognize it or not. Our beliefs, decisions, opinions, and assumptions all flow from how we understand reality. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why Christians must examine their worldview in light of Scripture. Proverbs 3:5-6 teaches that we are either trusting in the Lord or leaning on our own understanding. A worldview shaped by feelings, culture, or personal opinion will eventually lead to confusion, but a worldview grounded in God's Word provides clarity, stability, and truth. This episode helps listeners understand why every person has a worldview and why believers must ask God to shape their minds according to His truth.

Understanding a Biblical Worldview

Every person sees the world through a lens. That lens shapes how we understand reality, truth, morality, identity, purpose, and the meaning of life. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins begins a month focused on worldview and culture by explaining what a biblical worldview is and why it matters for the Christian life. A biblical worldview means seeing all of life through the truth of God's Word. It is rooted in the Bible's story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, and it shapes how Christians think, live, and respond to the culture around them. Dave also looks at Colossians 2:8 and Romans 12:2, showing why Christians must guard their minds from empty philosophies and be renewed by the truth of Scripture. In this episode, you'll learn why every person has a worldview, what makes a biblical worldview distinct, why ideas matter, how Scripture explains reality, how Christians can grow in biblical thinking, and why worldview shapes how we live in the world.
