I grant nearly the totality of the Calvinist position as true on a cosmic level. But it does us no good from a practical level. We must live as if what we do matters.

I agree.

We live our lives within the context.

Context? The Reformed worldview is the only one that takes God's creational ordinances seriously with it's high view of the goodness of creation and the cultural mandate given to man by God. The RCC and most evangelical Protestants are still buying into nature/grace dualisms and not taking seriously that Christ has conquered sin and death and that we live today with the power to fulfill the cultural mandate until the final consumation at which time we will have a new earth and heaven. No, the Reformed worldview seems to be the only Christian worldview living within "context".
