Empowered by God's grace and guided by the Holy Spirit, the Christian life is about fulfilling the Great Commandments (Mk. 12: 28-31). Colossians proclaims that Christ died to reconcile all of Creation to God, showing how much God loves all of Creation: "God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross" (Col. 1: 19-20, NIV). Indeed, Christ is not only the Reconciler of all things, He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things as well (Col. 1: 15-18; John 1: 1-3; Heb. 1:1-4).

As Bible-believing teachers, researchers, practitioners, we should be reminded why we believe what we believe. For the Christian scientist, our worldview encompasses two presuppositions:
God is and God has revealed Himself (through His word and His creation).
How many of us have divided our profession from our confession? If we claim the Truth of Scripture and embrace our Biblical worldview, then there should be no division of work and faith.
Therefor, a non-Biblical approach to science (or any other subject) is irrelevant.

Lyrics and Thoughts
From Jill Phillips’ album Writing on the Wall:
Just when my tears were falling deep enough to drown,
Down in the valley of the shadow of a doubt,
When I gave up–that’s when He came to lift me out
And set me high.
When I saw it as a gift of matchless worth,
I started thinking it was something I deserved.
He pulled the rug from underneath without a word
And left me dry.
Chorus
Piece together these little mysteries:
It isn’t hard to see
The writing on the wall.
Triumph and tragedy–
Only God can be
Both the builder and the wrecking ball.
He gave them freedom and a fertile promise land.
They took for granted their deliverance at hand.
Thirty-nine years later, they’re still walking through that sand,
Wondering why.
And He builds it up,
And He knocks it down,
Just to build it up even stronger…
Chorus
Piece together these little mysteries:
It isn’t hard to see
The writing on the wall.
Triumph and tragedy–
Only God can be
Both the builder and the wrecking ball.
We all have times when we feel that the rug has been pulled out from underneath us-but our sovereign God is always in control...we just need to embrace that.
Just when my tears were falling deep enough to drown,
Down in the valley of the shadow of a doubt,
When I gave up–that’s when He came to lift me out
And set me high.
When I saw it as a gift of matchless worth,
I started thinking it was something I deserved.
He pulled the rug from underneath without a word
And left me dry.
Chorus
Piece together these little mysteries:
