Happy Birthday, John Calvin and to heart Calvinists everywhere!!

Concerning THE LORD'S PRAYER, Calvin wrote:

"We ask then, that God's majesty might be hallowed because of its qualities.This is not, of course, because his majesty is capable of any increase or decrease. But all must revere it as holy; it must be acknolwedged and extolled.

"Whatever God does, his actions must be considered glorious, as they truly are. So then, if God punishes, he must be considered just; if he forgives, he must be considered merciful; if he fulfills his promises, he must be considered truthful.

"And seeing that his glory is, as it were, engraved in everything, and that it shines there, his praises must resound in every mind and on every tongue." Truth for All Time, Banner of Truth Trust, 2008, pp.97-98

Amen!
