A Great Idea...
This is a terrific idea - translating the worldview concepts for the average Christian in the areas of their everyday lives and responsibilities. The "God's Pleasure at Work" seminar, developed by my friends Chris and Kathy Overman (of Worldview Matters) is touching an area of worldview application that often gets left behind by those of us who live in the world of worldview ideas.
Really, the goal of the Christian worldview is, as Dr. Noebel says, 24/7 Christianity. And, of course, we talk about this sort of Christian life all the time, but there is rarely any sort of discipleship in what it means to apply a Christian worldview to business, recreation, leisure, hair dressing, or the stock market. "Worldview" is all too often code word for "here's everything I hate about the world and the church today."
I am thankful that the Overmans have undertaken this overlooked area of discipleship. You can find out more about their ministry here.
