The Lack of a Christian Mindset

Nov 7, 2024 | theaquilareport.com | Cory C. Brock

The Christian mindset means letting Christ be the King, losing ourselves to His mission and glory, and thus finding our purpose again. We must exchange the small ambitions that our pride generates for the huge ambitions that Christ offers. The cross calls us to go down in order to go up.

Growing in Grace

Aug 16, 2023 | tabletalkmagazine.com | Jeremy Walker |Cory C. Brock

When someone is converted, there is an immediate and radical change. From the inner man outward, everything changes. For some people, perhaps converted from a more openly wicked life, that shift has effects that are obvious to others. Like the Gadarene demoniac, the sinner is now found clothed and in his right mind, and everyone can tell the difference. For others, although the inward shift is equally radical and equally absolute, the outward evidence is not so marked.

In the 1890s, in a small yet iconic town in the Netherlands on the river IJssel named Kampen, Herman Bavinck wrote and published his Reformed Dogmatics in four volumes.

Today, there’s an ever-growing movement all over the world to translate and read works from Bavinck and his elder colleague Abraham Kuyper.
