Privacy (4th Amendment)

Aug 5, 2020

What does God say about our right to privacy?

No one likes having their secrets revealed for the world to see. In our country, we place a high value on individual privacy. Taking this value into our faith, however, creates the impression that God has access to part of our lives, but not everything. We sometimes view our lives as separate spheres: Faith, Family, and Fortune.

In this Bible study, we explore what the Bible says about our right to privacy, and how God wants us to view life as an integrated whole with faith at the center. Our family, our finances, our relationships, our career, and our values are not separate spheres apart from God, but part of our whole spiritual life that need to be defined by Christ and his Kingdom. After all, God is all-knowing, and there's nothing that can be hidden from him!

Part 1 of this class explored what the Bible teaches us about our right to self-defense.
