description: Abraham Kuypers Rooted &amp; Grounded is the Word of the Lord for the Christian church today. Christians know the Gospel must permeate every area of life organically that every vocation is integral and not accidental to the missio Dei as my friend and colleague Steven Garber is fond of saying. This is what Kuyper means when he talks about the church being rooted in the organism of the Gospel. But Kuyper goes much further reminding us that the church is First rooted then grounded in an institutional form with core doctrinal liturgical and office-bearing responsibilities that norm its vital organic life.
