MISSION
The Sharp Institute for Biblical Worldview Studies is a division of Creation Truth Foundation, Inc. Its primary purpose is to create a forum by which traditional Biblical Worldview can be understood and established, beginning in Genesis, particularly the first twelve chapters. The foundation for every Christian doctrine can be traced to an event recorded and preserved in these writings of Moses, and without an understanding of these foundations, man is left to his own devises as to his origin, purpose, identity and destiny.
PHILOSOPHY
The secular worldview that permeates modern society has created a crisis within America’s Christian culture; belief in the foundational truth of God’s Word has been undermined and many Christians today are unknowingly operating from an evolutionary materialist worldview. This has had far-reaching effects, leading to breakdowns and crises in the lives, families and churches of many professing believers.
The basic reason for these problems, however, is the absence of belief in the Bible as basic truth, especially within the realm of science. If one cannot believe the Bible is true in one area, then the Bible’s authority in all areas is questionable. Therefore, believing in the scientific and historic truth of the Bible is pivotal to belief in God’s Word as absolute Truth.
Cadres
In-depth, leadership training is available for all ministry workers, both professional and volunteer. This material can be accessed through seminar training called Cadres conducted at our facility in Noble, OK. Each year a new Cadre beginning’s by inviting leadership from congregations all over the U.S. With a two year commitment and a desire for teaching God’s truth in their home congregation’s, leadership embark in this program. The Leadership training is an advanced version of the material found in the Foundation’s manual written by Dr. G. Thomas Sharp. Also, training is enhanced through Matt and Ryan's instruction of pertinent science that supports the Word of God and field trips. Upon completion of the Cadre each participant will be equipped with the right knowledge and materials to train others in Biblical worldview.
Church Training
The embracing of a Biblical worldview is a life-long endeavor. The foundational material found in Genesis 1-12 has been laid out in 36 lessons, and can be utilized in a variety of settings. Local churches are able to invite us in for weekly training or a tailored event. While intended to be completed within a year’s time, the study of Biblical Worldview will have only begun.
