Puritans

Leland Ryken on the Puritan's Worldview

by Jeffrey Robison on December 4, 2019 Read in 1 min

“In Puritan thinking, the Christian life was a heroic venture, requiring a full quota of energy,... For the Puritans, the God-centered life meant making the quest for spiritual and moral holiness the great business of life.”

Leland Ryken, “The Original Puritan Work Ethic,” Christian History 89 (2006), https://christianhistoryinstitute.org/magazine/article/original-puritan-work-ethic.

About Jeff

I am all about Jesus. He is my Lord and Savior. I love to share the gospel with people and tell them what Jesus has done for me. I love to talk to them about their relationship with God. Nothing excites me more than seeing people come to faith and grow in Jesus.

I have been “in ministry” now for over thirty years. I have served churches in Tennessee, Indiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Louisiana, Alabama, California, and North Dakota.

I am very happily married to Sharon. Over thirty-one years now!!! She is my best friend, soulmate, and pretty much any positive superlative you could insert here. Sharon and I have two incredible progeny, Gabby (married to Ryan) and Joe. All three of them are pursuing their life goals with passion and very proud parents.

I have B.A. in Pastoral Ministry from Oklahoma Baptist University and a M.Div. (Master of Divinity) from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

I really enjoy my present ministry calling. I serve a congregation on the Western edge of the Drift Prairie in North Dakota. They are great folks and the prairie is beautiful!
