We can experience joy in adverse circumstances by holding God's benefits in such esteem that the recognition of them and meditation upon them shall overcome all sorrow.
John Calvin
Image
All things being at God's disposal, and the decision of salvation or death belonging to him, he orders all things by his counsel and decree in such a manner, that some men are born devoted from the womb to certain death, that his name may be glorified in their destruction.
John Calvin
Image
God does not bestow his spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his word, but rather to render it fruitful.
John Calvin
Image
Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.
