Abraham Kuyper Spheres Quotations

The sovereignty of the state as the power that protects the individual and that defines the mutual relationships among the visible spheres, rises high above them by its right to command and compel. But within these spheres ... another authority rules, an authority that descends directly from God apart from the state. This authority the state does not confer but acknowledges.

There is not an inch of any sphere of life over which Jesus Christ does not say, 'Mine.'
