Business in the Kingdom

What is Business in the Kingdom?

Every part of life is, or at least should be, in the Kingdom of God. As the great theologian Abraham Kuyper once said, "There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, 'Mine!'" Business, finance and economics are every bit as much part of the Kingdom as churches and ministries. And Jerry Bowyer believes that, in our day, the marketplace will be key to revival, reformation and renewal. Hear him discuss these essential issues on "Business in the Kingdom."
