Timothy Paul Jones writes, "To have a biblical worldview is to interpret every aspect of
our lives—including our relationships with children—within the framework of
God’s story. At the center of God’s story stands this singular act: In Jesus
Christ, God personally intersected human history and redeemed humanity at a
particular time in a particular place. Yet this central act of redemption does
not stand alone. It is bordered by God’s good creation and humanity’s fall into
sin on the one hand and by the consummation of God’s kingdom on the other
This story of creation, fall and law, redemption, and
consummation is the story that Christians have repeated to one another and to
the world ever since Jesus ascended into the sky and sent his Spirit to dwell
in his first followers’ lives. This age-old plot-line should frame every aspect
of our lives—including how we treat and train children."
