And we have a mission to them. One of the reasons the church is not penetrating society is because we have become focused on ministry in neighbourhoods, rather than ministry wherever God places us - work and school, as well as at home. And remember there's about 2 billion people worldwide who cannot be reached by people with missionary visas but only by people with so-called 'secular' skills. Overseas there's a need for thousands of people who are midwives and secretaries and accountants and engineers who are also well-grounded in the Bible and well trained to pass on skills to others. I won't find a job.
Theology is an employer's dream.
Because there's probably no other subject that offers a greater range of academic and practical skills. There's no training that encourages you to integrate knowledge, experience and faith in Christ more than theology. And there's no discipline that's more relevant to relationships and to work than the springboard of a living theology built on the Bible, worked out in relationship with Christians and empowered by the Spirit. I'm too young. I'm too old.
