QUOTE OF THE WEEK

It is a blessed thing to study the Scriptures.  It is a privilege not only to read the Scriptures for ourselves, but to hear them read by others.  It is not sufficient for our blessedness that we read and hear the Scriptures, but we must obey the things that are written.

Matthew Henry

Happy 500th Birthday, John Calvin

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

We must be faithful, and stand fast in our liberty; we must follow the rule which is given us in the Word of God, and not suffer our souls to be brought into slavery by new laws, forged by men. For it is a hellish tyranny, which lesseneth God’s authority and mixeth the truth of the gospel with figures of the law; and perverteth and corrupteth the true service of God, which ought to be spiritual. Therefore, let us consider how precious a privilege it is to give thanks to God with quietness of conscience, being assured it is His will and pleasure that we should enjoy His blessings: and that we may do so, let us not entangle ourselves with the superstitions of men, but be content with what is contained in the pure simplicity of the gospel.

John Calvin, The Word our Only Rule
