"There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God." ― John Calvin Topic(s): God More From John Calvin "God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation." "A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent." "For there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God." More In God "While teaching, I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom."― Samuel Dash "Hope is some extraordinary spiritual grace that God gives us to control our fears, not to oust them."― Vincent McNabb "God’s most lordly gift to man is decency of mind."― Aeschylus
