This week’s email from the Institute for Faith & Culture features an article from Westminster Academy Headmaster Dr. Joel Satterly. In it, he addresses the need for the intentional development of a worldview.  Believers should turn to the scriptures for remedy; they must form an accurate picture of the world’s brokenness and beauty from God’s revealed truth—a Christian worldview—to be able to act restoratively. —Dr. Satterly The Institute for Faith & Culture is a ministry of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church.
