“The Church is for discipleship. But discipleship is for the world. And the World is God’s” were helpful words by the theologian and philosopher Dallas Willard that I came across this morning (Oct 16, 2014). I am in a season where God’s call for me has led me far away from “home” to working for a utility company, charged with powering people for better lives. The last statement may be a cliché for Kenyans, but this is for another day. Having only graduated a few months ago with a Masters degree in theological studies, is the salvation of souls any more important than Christian discipleship? This forms the central problem for our topic of conversation today with different schools affirming an either/or response instead of a both/and response that is indispensable for the workplace. A corrective answer is that God’s call over our lives affects both our past and our future lives, all spheres of our lives are sacred because God’s presence is everywhere. Such a right understanding of God
