To me, Calvinism means the placing of the eternal God at the head of all things.

Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.

Every Christian man has a choice between being humble and being humbled.

God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.

There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?

Don't rely too much on labels, for too often they are fables

If God requires of the sinner, dead in sin, that he should take the first step, then he requires just that which renders salvation as impossible under the gospel as it was under the law, since man is as unable to believe as he is to obey.
