Watchman Clarion — Ezekiel 33:6
Reality according to Christianity
One reality. One Creator. One coherent story.
Christianity is not merely one religious system among others. It is the worldview that most accurately describes the whole of reality—natural and supernatural.
“I believe in Christianity as I believe the Sun has risen—not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
— C. S. Lewis, “Is Theology Poetry?”
Why Watchman Clarion
The watchman’s charge
“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.”
Ezekiel 33:6 · The name expresses responsibility, warning, and commitment.
Reality is not divided
The divided view of reality
Prevailing cultural thought often separates empirical facts below from faith, meaning, and values above. The result is a world of facts without meaning and aspirations without a foundation in reality.
Biblical Christianity rejects the division.
The God of Scripture is the God who is there—the Creator of the natural and supernatural worlds. Everything that exists was created by Him, depends upon Him, and remains under His sovereign control.
Doug’s note: Natural and supernatural reality are distinct, but they are not disconnected.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
— Ephesians 6:12
