All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.

John Calvin
Where riches hold the dominion of the heart, God has lost His authority.
John Calvin

John Calvin
The poor yield to the rich, the common people to the upper ten, the servants to their masters, the ignorant to the scholars but there is nobody who does not imagine that he is really better than others.
John Calvin
After 50 years, is it not clear that God has raised up new illnesses connected with fornication? From where do these things come if not from the hand of God? [In response to these diseases] The world was astounded, and people were terrified for a time, but they have not, to this day, observed the hand of God.
John Calvin
You cannot imagine a more certain rule or a more powerful suggestion than this, that all the blessings we enjoy are divine deposits which we have received on this condition that we distribute them to others.
John Calvin
We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.
