Mark 16:15 ... Gr. kosmos means “all of society.”

Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) said that as a Christian, we must look at our world as various “ .”

“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

All creations belongs to Jesus Christ

The Gospel is to redeem, renew and restore (Col. 1:20Phil. 2:9-111 Pet. 4:11).

The Church is a Building (1 Pet. 2:5) ... the Bride ... a Body.

FriendsA friend sticks with you (Prov. 17:17).

3. Academics

Don’t be lazy or halfhearted in our studies (Col.3:23 NIV).

Don’t turn academic success into an idol (Matt. 6:33)


4. Leadership is about  (Mark 10:42-43).

Leadership is influence. Use leadership gifts given to you by God, to lead to evangelize and to revive others. Let's be one in Christ. Learn to fail and God sees our hearts to toughen us in each fsilure. Lead by your humility

Lead by your faith in God

5. Party and pleasure 

“In the world, and not of the world” (John 17:11John 17:14).

God is not against Fun! God has festival for people to celebrate 

 : On one hand, we are totally engaging our world; yet, we are so different in our spiritual values and convictions.

What are things we Receive? Reject? Redeem?

Can I honestly glorify God in this?
Is this really good for me?
Does this give life? Does it exploit?
Who has the influence? The Holy Spirit? Or alcohol, drugs, etc.?
Does this help me love others? (Rom. 14:20).
How this help me to share the Gospel?
