The irony is that families bearing a street label may value itself as decent and still valuing other families’ street. However, this labels form the basis of understanding inner-city community lifestyle. The community has many of the white society middle class values but they know the values don’t hold water in the street. They say it does not provide the attitude of a person who can take care of themselves in the street.

J.P. Moreland’s book, Kingdom Triangle, asserts the irreplaceable role of knowledge in the Church’s duty of guiding the world out of darkness and into what the author calls “life indeed”. Moreland presents the human race as a lost people in search of truth. In life, truth holds the ultimate authority because it remains the end goal. The world constantly looks for a guide in the search of life’s ultimate meaning. Any individual, any idea can quickly become a source of hope for the lost.

An individual exudes knowledge in the ability to represent a topic with clarity, purpose, expertise and experience. It is about representing well. When the Christian receives the gift of salvation and eternal life, he or she takes on the responsibility of representing knowledge of
