4 General Levels of Christian Mindset Relating to the Marketplace.
1. POW’s – For them the marketplace is an evil place and they feel they can just hold their ground. Survival is their objective, needing a lot of maintenance as they see themselves as POWs, forced to survive with dignity in an undignified place.
2. Under Cover Agents - These are those who apply Christian principles in the marketplace. They believe that these principles will help them to overcome temptation and to keep a good testimony. Basically they are settling for a draw – they will not change the marketplace and the marketplace will not change them.
3. Blues Brothers – These are on a ‘mission from God’ – they believe that they can work in the marketplace in the fullness of Holy Spirit. They seek God every day, they hear from him, and they implement what He tells them to do. They are ‘open for business’ in the marketplace.
4. Transformers – This last level are those who see themselves on a mission to transform the marketplace (evangelists) and believe that they with God’s help can do it.
