What is The ViewFinder?
RenewaNation created a tool to help schools, churches, and families measure biblical worldview development. The ViewFinder is a discovery and development tool designed to help teenagers and adults understand what they believe about six areas of biblical worldview: God, the Bible, moral order, purpose, creation, and humanity.
The ViewFinder consists of thirty real life moral dilemmas with four multiple choice answers for each question that allows individuals to consider not only what they believe, but how they would respond if they found themselves in a similar situation. An individual’s actual worldview is determined by how a person lives, so the questions in this tool seek to blend beliefs with actions.
Many Christians are smart enough to determine the “right” answer on an assessment, yet they may not love Jesus or live in a way that honors God. This reality did not dissuade Jesus from pointedly assessing the beliefs of individuals. In Matthew 9:28 Jesus asked two followers, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” In Mark 8:29 Jesus asked the twelve disciples, “Who do you say I am?” Jesus assessed the beliefs of his followers and The ViewFinder strives to provide you with a tool to do the same.
Beliefs are important, but they aren’t the whole picture. Our goal is to help individuals align themselves with God’s Word, both in belief and action. The Bible is concerned with what we believe and how we live. Paul instructs young Timothy, “Watch your life and doctrine closely” (1 Tim. 4:16). Jesus summarized discipleship when He stated, “follow me” and “teach them to obey all that I command” (Matt. 4:19; 28:20). Jesus calls His followers to live in obedience to God. We have developed a tool that helps individuals not only discover what they believe, but encourages growth as a follower of Christ.
