"Is it faith to understand nothing, and merely submit your convictions implicitly to the Church?" ― John Calvin Topic(s): Faith More From John Calvin "There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence." "Man’s mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain." "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 Faith "Mr. Chairman, delegates. I accept your nomination for President of the United States of America. I do so with humility, deeply moved by the trust you have placed in me. It is a great honor. It is an even greater responsibility."― Mitt Romney "Man is, properly speaking, based upon hope, he has no other possession but hope; this world of his is emphatically the place of hope."― Thomas Carlyle "I see heaven’s glories shine and faith shines equal."― Emily Bronte
