"In the total expanse of human life there is not a single square inch of which the Christ, Who alone is sovereign, does not declare, "That is mine!"-Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920)
"One desire has been the ruling passion of my life. One high motive has acted like a spur upon my mind and soul...it is this: That, in spite of all worldly opposition, God's holy ordinances shall be established again in the home, in the school, and in the state for the good of the people; to carve as it were into the conscience of the nation the ordinances of the Lord, to which the Bible and Creation bear witness, until the nation pays homage to God."- Abraham Kuyper
"Everybody has a god-No exceptions-Everybody does. Everybody has to, because everybody must appeal to some authority to decide what is real and what is not real in order to make sense out of life. Everybody must attribute his origin to something and everybody has an opinion about what is wrong with things in the world. And everybody has an idea of how to find safety from what is bad. Each one of these functions of deity requires us to make an un-provable assumption, a faith-based statement that goes beynd the sphere of science into the realm of religion and philosophy." -Nate Wilson, from the introduction to The Functions of Deity (Which I highly recommend!)
