The world seems to have adopted the view that all businesses and people in the business world are inherently evil. It is easier to see the lies and deceit behind business deals rather than the integrity, honesty, and perseverance. It seems that the business world is tainted with sin, but how did this come to be? This is one of the issues that Wayne Grudem addresses in his book, Business for the Glory of God: The Bible`s Teaching on the Moral Goodness of Business. He develops arguments for why 11 different aspects of business that, despite popular belief, are actually designed to glorify God rather than cause evil.…

On the website http://teach4theheart.com/2014/04/28/should-teachers-leave-their-faith-at-home/ I found a small blog that talked about teachers feeling the need to leave their faith at the door of their Public School jobs. While this does not directly relate to how I would infuse a biblical worldview into my lessons it did give me encouragement that I could have a biblical worldview in my lessons even if I worked in a public school system. I currently work in a public school and it is a struggle for me to show or teach openly about the Bible, but in this blog Linda Kardamis says, “There’s nothing stopping…
