Often times we disagree with people whom we haven't read. Such is the case for many when it comes to John Calvin. But the following quote must be read and considered and I find nothing in it to challenge. He was big on sovereignty.
"Man is never sufficiently touched and affectedby the awareness of his lowly stateuntil he has compared himself with God's majesty."-John Calvin
Gripped by Grace,

Very true statement. It reminds me of the sermons on the Beatitudes and verse Blessed are the poor in spirit. I never truly understood what that meant until Chris bought the book Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. Good thoughts for us to remember.
