It involves engaging them as individuals. Bywater gives examples of ways in which to probe the individual about their beliefs, rather than purely making statements. He suggests that the Christian ask questions of New Agers such as, what are their fears? what are their worldviews? When asking these questions, Bywater offers these exhortations to the Christian: Do not be afraid of New Agers. Instead, understand them as individuals and remember that they are created in the image of God. http://www.summit.org/resources/av/sls/2008/04/worldview_witnessing.php http://www.summit.org/resources/av/sls/2008/04/worldview_witnessing.php Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:44:00 -0700 According to pollster George Barna, a biblical worldview is the missing element in 9 out of 10 followers of Jesus Christ.

In Part 2, Beisner discusses climate issues including global warming and rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Part 3 includes a discussion of species extinction, and Part 4 confronts radical enviromentalism, including a discussion of the three main radical groups: the green party, ecologists and the animal rights movement. http://www.summit.org/resources/av/sls/2008/02/environmentalism.php http://www.summit.org/resources/av/sls/2008/02/environmentalism.php Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:28:51 -0700
