The Crisis of Our Time

Published: Jan. 31, 2022, 1 p.m.

All of life - every category - is the Lord's.  There's nothing outside of His control.  Your life at work. Your marriage.  Your hobbies.  Economics.  Law.  Politics.  There's no single thing in life over which the Lord, as Kuyper said, doesn't say, "Mine!"  

The crisis of our time is that we - saved Christians - don't understand and practice this all-important principle. Too often we stumble through our days unaware of the radical Lordship of Jesus Christ.  Too often we live as Christians but drift along, following the old principle of life - letting the world define its own categories for us.  But that's not the truth.   And it's not what we were made for.  We were made for Him, to live for Him.  And to do that we must learn to think His thoughts after Him.  This means no more wandering through the barren wilderness of humanism in our minds.  

Every category of life is defined by God.  Being saved, don't stop half-way.  Allow yourself to experience the true and great joy of life, which is the transformation of your mind through the Spirit of God.  This is done by learning to think in truth.  It's done by learning to think Biblically.
