Here are twelve ways to share Christ in the marketplace.
We are now standing at the foundation-laying stage of one of the most significant Christian movements of church history, the advocacy of a Christian values-based economy. How we work with God’s Spirit in helping to lay that foundation will have potentially enormous effects on the global future of the church in the 21st century. It will also signal the emergence of an alternative to the world system’s left-right, capitalism-socialism single paradigm of economic possibility currently available to the nations of the world.
