How Now Shall We Live

Matt — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:01:48 +0000

Christianity is more than a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is also a worldview that not only answers life’s basic questions–Where did we come from, and who are we? What has gone wrong with the world? What can we do to fix it?–but also shows us how we should live as a result of those answers. “How Now Shall We Live?” gives Christians the understanding, the confidence, and the tools to confront the world’s bankrupt worldviews and to restore and redeem every aspect of contemporary culture: family, education, ethics, work, law, politics, science, art, music. This book will change every Christian who reads it. It will change the church in the new millennium.

The ideal human existence is not eternal leisure or an endless vacation – or even a monastic retreat into prayer and meditation – but creative effort expended for the glory of God and the benefit of others. Our calling is not just to “go to heaven” but also to cultivate the earth, not just to “save souls” but also to serve God through our work. For God Himself is engaged not only in the work of salvation but also in the work of poreserving and developing His creation. When we obey the Cultural Mandate, we participate in the work of God Himself, as agents of His common Grace. – Nancy Pearcy
