"If God is sovereign, then his lordship must extend over all of life, and it cannot be restricted to the walls of the church or within the Christian orbit." Abraham Kuyper Common Grace 1.1.

The unshakable kingdom

A Hindu chairman at the close of one of my addresses said: "If what the speaker has just said isn't true it doesn't matter, but if it is true then nothing else matters." If what I have just said about the Kingdom isn't true it doesn't matter, but if it is true when nothing else matters. Then all science, all knowledge, all achievements, all nations, all persons, all things must be related to this Unshakable Kingdom in surrender and obedience and alignment or else end in frustration and failure and decay. I have never penned a wilder or a wiser statement than I have just penned. Nor has anybody else. And I can pen it because it is true!

E. Stanley Jones The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person (Abingdon Press, 1972)
