We unjustly defraud God of his right, unless each of us lives and dies in dependence on His sovereign pleasure.

For Scripture is the school of the Holy Spirit, in which, as nothing is omitted that is both necessary and useful to know, so nothing is taught but what is expedient to know. Therefore we must guard against depriving believers of anything disclosed about predestination in Scripture, lest we seem either wickedly to defraud them of the blessing of their God or to accuse and scoff at the Holy Spirit for having published what it is in any way profitable to suppress.

The sum is, that the worship of God must be spiritual, in order that it may correspond with His nature. For although Moses only speaks of idolatry, yet there is no doubt but that by synecdoche, as in all the rest of the law, he condemns all fictitious services which men in their ingenuity have invented.

This is what entertainment is all about- idiots, explosives and falling anvils.

Christ is the most perfect image of God, into which we are so renewed as to bear the image of God, in knowledge, purity, righteousness, and true holiness.

We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.

We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.
