He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.

Everything was created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:15-16 NLT}{“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.

Quotes

Michael Wittmer : “A worldview is a framework of fundamental concepts of beliefs about the world. In short, a worldview comprises the lens through which we see the world.” (Heaven is a Place); Chuck Colson : “The way we see the world can change the world. In every action we take, we are doing one of two things: we are either helping to create a hell on earth or helping to bring down a foretaste of heaven. We are either contributing to the broken condition of the world or participating with God in transforming the world to reflect His righteousness.” (How Now Shall We Live?); : “Fifty minutes. That’s the average amount of time, the company said, that users spend each day on it’s Facebook, Instagram and Messenger platforms.” (NY Times – May 5, 2016 ); Francis Schaeffer : “Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality – and the intellectual holding of that total Truth and then living in light of that Truth.” (Norte Dame 1981); G.K. Chesterton : “I am.” (London Times ); Fyodor Dostoevsky : “The West has lost Christ, and that is why it is dying; that is the only reason.” (Notebooks);
