If Christianity is true, then it speaks to every area of life
“If Christianity should happen to be true – that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe – then defending it may mean talking about anything and everything. Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true.” - G.K. Chesterton

Great quote. Most Christians do not think through the fact that if God created every last thing then everything must be understood in light of what he says about it.
As we are sin-fallen creatures, we need, thus, to look first to the Bible in order to be able to be faithful in how we live our lives in every aspect. Too many Christians limit the truth of God as Creator to just an irrelevant "fact" with nothing to help us in understanding the particulars of life. So, for example, you have Christians who think you can approach science, economics, etc apart from the Word.
Here is an example of a man who spent his lifetime analyzing and applying the principles of the Bible to all of life: http://pocketcollege.com/index.htm
