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

By perseverance the snail reached the ark. A mouse may find a hole, be the room ever so full of cats.

Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this world's comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, "It passeth away;" for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God.

Is it not an amazing fact that while others leave us and forsake us, that God never does?

Man's words are mere breath, but the word of the Lord is spirit and life.

I believe nothing merely because Calvin taught it, but because I have found his teaching in the Word of God.

I am certain that to preach the wrath of God with a hard heart, a cold lip, a tearless eye, and an unfeeling spirit is to harden men, not benefit them.
