Perspectives on the World Christian Movement

January 14 - April 29, 2009

SALT. It heals, flavors, and causes thirst. But it does nothing on its own. It must interact to have purpose. If it fails to be used, it loses its power and purpose.

"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again?" Matthew 5.13

Jesus calls us the salt of the earth, but how can we be used? How can we fulfill the purpose He has for us? Learn how to use your skills and passions to glorify God in all the earth - no matter your location or vocation. The Perspectives course will expose you to true stories of how God is using people like you, and it will provide you with a greater perspective to live your life with eternal significance and purpose.

1. Biblical Foundation: See new meaning throughout God's Word in light of its primary theme. Learn why God blessed His chosen people and why He blesses us today.

2. Historical Progress: See how God used key events and people to expand His Kingdom. Learn from the successes and mistakes of our past.

3. Cultural Distinctives: See how the Gospel is understood and received by people of other cultures. Learn how this affects our witness of God's truth.

4. Strategic Involvement: See the vital role you can play in God's global purposes. Learn how to use your gifts, skills, and passions for God's glory.
