In his message Sunday, Pastor Allen alluded to a quotation by Abraham Kuyper, a late nineteenth century Dutch theologian whose writings still influence many in the Reformed world today. Kuyper championed the belief that God's sovereignty is still still active, as the continued acts of God preserve and sustain His creation, both by His Sovereign hand and through his covenant people on earth.
The quote Pastor Allen read was:
"Oh, no single piece of our mental world is to be hermetically sealed off from the rest, and there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'"
This is a powerful expression of the need for a Christian worldview in all our avenues of thinking and behaving - philosophical, academic, and practical, as well as theological.
