A keyword for all of us is \u201cdiscern.\u201d And to discern means to look at the larger field of information to assess what is true as opposed to false, misguided, bias, interpretation, assumption, or anything that is misleading. To discern in a way that is fair, this requires an open mind that is willing to be objective, but also a mind that is willing to go to multiple information sources and to look around. If you sit at your \u2018window\u2019 and really look at the lager view, then you will find opportunities to be objective and to seek what is a reliable viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The fact that scientific and theistic information can be considered together may offer difficulty for some people. If that is you, then it\u2019s less likely you will open your mind and explore. To look at a world of change, diametrically opposing views from science, theism, business, politics, and to include the oppositional behaviors and forces posed by various nations all over the world\u2014this all leads to something that has been long ago projected as the eventual state of being. Yes, that is already documented in advance.&nbsp;&nbsp;And it seems we have arrived at that state. This should be a concern to all alive today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The title of this post starts with the word \u2018apostate.\u2019 This is being referenced in relation to one portion of Scripture that describes the status of believers at a specific point in world history\u2014and that point in time appears to be now. Apostate is a term that can be defined as: \u201ca person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle.\u201d And sound principles might be objective or well founded on truth. To go one step further, apostasy is more the activity of abandoning such relevant belief or foundational principles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Today we see persons who abandon the notion that change is occurring in the natural world\u2014as in climate change\u2014or that science information is helpful in addressing important issues\u2014like taking a vaccine to prevent the further spread of a pandemic disease\u2014or more so to contradict Scripture as religious groups decide to use Scripture in ways to their liking \u2026 and not as the biblical text intends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This post is not going to lay down examples to say you may be involved to apostate actions or behaviors, but instead is simply pointing to this being a time when apostasy is occurring today in so many areas of the human experience\u2014across the entire globe today\u2014to signify something that the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures foretell as coming next. We are complex and specific human beings built on highly specified genetic information, living in a universe with highly fine-tuned conditions \u2026 so much so, as to point to our being here by design. And if that Designer is the God of the Bible, then Scripture that says apostasy will come to bring an end of an era, then you might want to see the relevance to change, science, and what the harmony of biblical texts say \u2026 and seeing how that pertains to your life right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In case you are wanting a reference \u2026 from the Greek [Revelation 3:14-21], you can, in part, see the reference to apostasy through people who are material and not attentive to God\u2019s will. Reference to repenting, for example, exposes leaders who lead for their own purposes and not in the way Scripture would point to the Designer\u2019s will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ears to hear, eyes to see, fully, allow a mind to truly discern. And that is why WindowView was developed.
