Mexicans today live their lives in a context quite far from God. Little is known of Calvin, of the reformers, of church history; for the same reasons, knowledge of Neo-Calvinism is unknown in much of the country. However, some churches of Calvinist tradition jealously guard these roots, so that Calvinism and neo-Calvinism in Mexico is not entirely muted... The roots of Neo-Calvinism in Mexico date back to the 80s, when Dr. John Paul Roberts brought reformational thought to our country. Since then, Neo-Calvinism has tried to sow in ecclesiastical institutions without achieving a consolidated fruit to date.

“Humanity is no aimless mass of people which only serves the purpose of giving birth to the elect. On the contrary, the world now, as well as in the beginning, is the theater for the mighty works of God, and humanity remains a creation of His hand, which, apart from salvation, completes under this present dispensation, here on earth, a mighty process, and in its historical development is to glorify the name of Almighty God.” --- Abraham Kuyper

For many years in the twentieth century, there were three main hubs of neo-Calvinism in England: Cambridge, Bath, and Leeds. These were home to three neo-Calvinist institutions: College House, Christian Studies Unit and ThinkingFaith Network (formerly WYSOCS)...
And Why I Want Christians to Read Him
I thought “I should wipe this pee off. If I was in the garden, or the new heavens and new earth, there would be no pee on the toilet seat. I wasn’t created to pee on the seat nor were people created to have to sit on my pee.” And so right then and there, in the face of God – with nobody watching, in a mighty act of worship, I wiped the pee off the toilet seat. It was one of the first Christian things I have ever done without whack motives...
