    1. The Church: In the World, not of the World John 17:11-18

    2. In the World, Not of the World Oh, no single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: Mine! Abraham Kuyper

    3. In the World, Not of the World We are in the world for a purpose

    4. Family The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:22-24

    5. Family Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4

    6. Work/School Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. Colossians 3:22-24

    7. Stewardship of Money But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8 He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need. Ephesians 4:28

    8. Stewardship of the Earth Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Genesis 1:26

    9. Stewardship of Life For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself. John 5:26

    10. Citizenship Obey laws 1 Peter 2:12-17 Pay taxes Romans 13:1-7 Vote How would each candidates election to office affect me? Which candidate holds positions that are most consistent with biblical truth?

    11. Biblical Worldview Who is God? Who is man? What is wrong with mankind? What is the solution? How do we know?

    12. Biblical Worldview We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Declaration of Independence

    13. Biblical Worldview [W]e have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. . . . Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams

    14. In the World, not of the World We are in the world for a purpose But we are not of the world This world is not our home This world is not our happiness This world is not our hope
