A little bit ABOUT ME

Jeff Hilles - Author / Webmaster BCWorldvew

AUTHOR / WEBMASTER...

Salvation

On April 15th, 1989, I accepted Jesus Christ as both my Savior and Lord through the Holy Spirit and apologetics. Since that time, I have served in various Christian capacities.

Service

Initially attending non-denominational and Presbyterian PCA churches, I have been a member of a Baptist Church since 1995, serving as a Deacon/Chairman, Discipleship teacher, Senior’s Retirement Home Pastor, GriefShare counselor, and Elder. Over the past twenty years, the Lord has allowed me to serve in a ministry that employs pastors across the country, focused on evangelism. Ending as President, I have recently transitioned into building BCWorldview.org.

Education

I received an undergraduate degree in Psychology (Lynchburg University), a master’s degrees in Business (UNH), and Human Services Counseling (Liberty). Have also completed certificate programs in Biblical Studies from Southeastern Seminary and Gerontology from USC.

Life Focus

This website began from a desire to provide resources for Biblical teaching and theology. However, our country has experienced an unprecedented amount of false information from the media on current events. Consequently, this site has also become a source of sound analysis of our culture through the lens of a Biblical Christian Worldview Fortunately, there are still other conservative outlets that provide a similar perspective. BCWorldview’s approach is slightly different. Our mission is to challenge media accuracy from both the left and the right using Scripture as our measuring rod. While our site does contain a growing number of timeless articles on systematic theology, I am increasingly focused day-to-day on the intersection of Christianity and contemporary topics. This includes ethics, family issues, technology, megatrends, politics, our loss of freedoms, the law, etc. My wife, Judy, and I have two wonderful daughters and four precious grandchildren. It is important to remember, God chooses to work through the human condition to perfect His will, and “the greatest expression of love we can show our neighbors is to gently tell them about our Lord and Savior.”

The Pledge of Allegiance… To America vs. to God (Updated)

This is a review of the history, context, and content of the Pledge of Allegiance viewed through the lens of a Biblical Christian worldview. It also offers an opinion on the controversy related to Christian allegiance to God vs. America.  History of the Pledge of Allegiance The American Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, and it was first recited in the same year by 12 million schoolchildren, on October 12th, to recognize the 400-year anniversary of the voyage of Christopher Columbus. It read: “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic, for which it stands,—one nation, indivisible—with liberty and justice for all.” This original version was changed in the 1920’s in order to be specific to the United States flag, due...

Can We Be Perfectly Sanctified in Christ (Updated)

Some born-again Christians believe that mankind can be “fully sanctified” or have “perfect unity” with the Trinity on this side of the grave. It is my view that we will not achieve that goal until Heaven.  Salvation is an event in the life of the Christian when one accepts Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord (Romans 10:9-10). Sanctification, on the other hand, is a life-long process (sometimes better referred to as “progressive sanctification”) of learning who God is and what He expects of us as we prepare to spend eternity with Him. Mankind does not have the capacity to be “perfectly sanctified” as long as any sin remains in the believer’s life.  Definitions from Webster Sanctify – To set apart to a sacred purpose or to religious use, to free...

Christian Focus Can Be Out of Balance Toward God

There is a tension between what the Bible says, what we think the Bible says, and what we think God should say to us as a race of people trying to get through life. We naturally tend to cling to sources of knowledge about who God is that fit who we want Him to be. In doing so believers can get out of balance in their spiritual walk, focusing on sources of information that may ultimately be contrary to Scripture. Of course, non-Christians easily discredit God’s Word by saying it is worthless, written by biased men thousands of years ago having no credibility today. Christians are much more subtle in their approach to God’s written Word. To be clear, I believe, as a Biblical Christian,...

A Unique View on the Corruption of Biblical Inerrancy

Many today believe the Bible is composed of wise sayings, written by men with an agenda. However, there is a subset of this group who do believe the “original” autographs were written by God. However, they also believe His work, thought initially inerrant, has been subsequently corrupted over time by man. They accept God as Creator but allow for the convenient twisting of His Word to fit their own evolving moral paradigm.  This is a short article is directed to Christians who believe God divinely inspired the Bible in its original autographs but also believe that today’s text has been corrupted in some of its core theological concepts.  A Standard Approach to Biblical Inerrancy Most Biblical scholars approach this topic by digging deep into the hundreds of...
