WHAT ARE BIBLICAL BLUEPRINTS? by GaT North How many times have you heard this one? “The Bible isn’t a textbook of . . .“ You’ve heard it about as many times as you’ve heard this one: “The Bible doesn’t provide blueprints for . . .“ The odd fact is that some of the people who assure you of this are Christians. Nevertheless, if you ask them, “Does the Bible have answers for the problems of life?” you’ll get an unqualified “yes” for an answer. Question: If the Bible isn’t a textbook, and if it doesn’t provide blueprints, then just how, specifically and concretely, does it provide answers for life’s problems? Either it answers real-life problems, or it doesn’t. In short: Does the Bible make a d@krence? Let’s put it another way. If a mass revival at last hits this nation, and if millions of people are regenerated by God’s grace through faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ at Calvary, will this change be visible in the way the new converts run their lives? Will their politics change, their business dealings change, their families change, their family budgets change, and their church membership change? In short: Will conversion make a visible difference in our personal lives? If not, why not? Second, two or three years later, will Congress be voting for a different kind of defense policy, foreign relations policy, environmental policy, immigration policy, monetary policy, and so forth? 177

WHAT ARE BIBLICAL BLUEPRINTS?<br />
by GaT North<br />
How many times have you heard this one?<br />
“The Bible isn’t a textbook of . . .“<br />
You’ve heard it about as many times as you’ve heard this one:<br />
“The Bible doesn’t provide blueprints for . . .“<br />
The odd fact is that some of the people who assure you of this<br />
are Christians. Nevertheless, if you ask them, “Does the Bible<br />
have answers for the problems of life?” you’ll get an unqualified<br />
“yes” for an answer.<br />
Question: If the Bible isn’t a textbook, and if it doesn’t provide<br />
blueprints, then just how, specifically and concretely, does it provide<br />
answers for life’s problems? Either it answers real-life problems,<br />
or it doesn’t.<br />
In short: Does the Bible make a d@krence?<br />
Let’s put it another way. If a mass revival at last hits this nation,<br />
and if millions of people are regenerated by God’s grace<br />
through faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ at Calvary, will<br />
this change be visible in the way the new converts run their lives?<br />
Will their politics change, their business dealings change, their<br />
families change, their family budgets change, and their church<br />
membership change?<br />
In short: Will conversion make a visible difference in our personal<br />
lives? If not, why not?<br />
Second, two or three years later, will Congress be voting for a<br />
different kind of defense policy, foreign relations policy, environmental<br />
policy, immigration policy, monetary policy, and so forth?<br />
