For the last few weeks the Managing Monday post has explored some of the wisdom of French theologian John Calvin (1509-1564). Calvin’s influence is almost impossible to overstate – so we will probably return to him in the future, but for now here are a few concluding insights as revealed in these memorable quotes…
- Unbelief is the mother of anxiety – John Calvin
- Whatever a person may be like, we must still love them because we love God – John Calvin
- Men are undoubtedly more in danger from prosperity than from adversity. For when matters go smoothly, they flatter themselves, and are intoxicated by their success – John Calvin
and the last Calvin quote for a little while…
- If we do not perceive our wretchedness and poverty, we will never know how desirable is that remedy that Christ has brought to us – John Calvin
As always, nice chatting…
