Gods Purpose In Creation : A Study in Genesis 1 (Bible Study)

by Hugh Whelchel, LIGHT PROJECT (Translator)

聖書の最初の箇所の創世記１章から、現在の私たちを含むすべての人間に向けた神のメッセージを読み解きます。
創造主である神から私たち一人一人に与えられた使命や召し、日常の仕事に対する意味や捉え方などが含まれます。
「聖書の中には、さまざまな形態の仕事が８００回以上登場します。」と本文の中にあり、さらに、「私たちは仕事をするために造られたのです。」と神が意図された仕事を学んでいきます。
仕事とは、神が呪いや罰で作られたのではないことが理解できます。
日々葛藤している社会人やこれから就職するみなさんへの大きな励ましになります。
神が意図されたこの世界の回復に、参画することができます。

Almost a decade ago, Hugh stepped out of a successful business career in the IT industry to share his experience of turning around unprofitable companies with Reformed Theological Seminary’s struggling Washington, DC, campus where he served as Executive Director and guest professor.

In addition to his business acumen, Hugh has a passion and expertise in helping individuals integrate their faith and vocational calling. He is the author of How Then Should We Work? Rediscovering the Biblical Doctrine of Work, released in May 2012. Hugh is a contributor to The Washington Post/On Faith “Local Leaders” website and has been published on The Gospel Coalition.org and ByFaith Online. He has also been a guest on Moody Radio Network’s “In the Market with Janet Parshall,” Salem Radio Network, IRN/USA Radio Network, and Truth in Action Ministries’ “Truth That Transforms,” and the “Jack Riccardi Show,” among other shows.

In addition to serving on the board of several Christian non-profits, Hugh has served as the Executive Director and board member of The Fellows Initiative, an umbrella organization supporting and establishing church-based Fellows Programs which are designed to help young adults understand God’s vocational calling on their lives as they enter their careers.

A native Floridian, Hugh earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Florida and a Master of Arts in Religion from Reformed Theological Seminary. Hugh and his wife Leslie now live in Loudoun County, Virginia. As an ordained ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church in America, he serves in leadership at McLean Presbyterian Church in McLean, Virginia. In what little spare time he has, Hugh enjoys hiking, golfing, and restoring old sports cars.
