(Jon) Nancy didn’t know how to label us. We don’t really know, either.
We’re not just evangelicals, although we believe the Bible wholeheartedly. We’re not just conservatives, because we’re not sold-out Republicans at all. We’re both confessional, we both love cities and we both long for authentic community.
Maybe we’re just Kuyper Christians.
It was the Dutch politician and theologian Abraham Kuyper who said:
“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!’”
Yeah, that sounds about right.
