The Redemption of All Things

“Because God created peoples, places and things, and because sin has corrupted peoples, place and things, God intends to redeem peoples, places and things… His goal is to transform every cultural sphere, from art and education to commerce and communication – everything!” (Tullian Tchividjian)
How are we to live our lives in schools, universities, families and workplaces such that we are involved in Christ’s redemptive restoration of all things? How do we engage 'redemptively' in the world?
In each of these areas of life "we will either be leaders or we shall be led, influential or influenced.” For Christians to be leaders and people of influence is not triumphalism but a humble response to the pre-eminence of Christ.
