Editor's Notes
- Col 1:19-20 Whatever the LORD pleases He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places. Psalm 135:6 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. NKJV
- Elevated the spiritual at the expense of the secular. A spiritual form of dualism – spiritual and secular. God has never separated the spiritual from the secular. Work = vocation vs a Calling Pluralism 1200 AD
- Lev 19:9-10"'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the Lord your God. 9 "'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10 Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the Lord your God. NIV
- Culture does not care who solves their problem, they just want their problem solved.
