A Book on the Christian Worldview by Kim Cimio

Will Christians spend eternity in heaven or on earth?

Most Christians would say we will spend eternity in heaven. But Scripture says the new Jerusalem will be on earth.

Why is raising leaders so important?

God works through leaders, and without them the world becomes barren; Genesis 2:5 says nothing grew because “there was no man to work the ground.” Jesus saw crowds “like sheep without a shepherd,” told his disciples to pray for laborers, and then appointed the twelve (Matthew 9:36–10:1). When we see people suffering, absent leadership is often at the root, so we must pray for leaders and raise them.

What is leadership the Jesus way?

Many avoid responsibility, saying “I’m not qualified.” But Paul wrote, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task” (1 Timothy 3:1), using the same word as the “good works” we are to be zealous for (Titus 2:14). We often think aspiring to lead is un-Christian because we’ve seen so many bad examples.

How does everything we do on earth prepare us for eternity?

David “shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them” (Psalm 78:72). Leadership needs both character and skill. Integrity without skill leads to stagnation; skill without integrity leads to corruption. Character is rarely formed in comfort but forged through trials: “if we endure, we will also reign with him” (2 Timothy 2:12).

Is technology part of God’s plan or a danger?

Jacques Ellul observed that history begins in a garden and ends in a city, a world shaped by technology, and that even technology has a place in God’s vision.
