Cool Quote

Fellas,

I was preparing a sermon on 1 Peter 4:7-11, and came across a sweet quote from Calvin:

“Scripture…warns that whatever benefits we obtain from the Lord have been entrusted to us on this condition: that they be applied to the common good of the church. And therefore the lawful use of all benefits consists in a liberal and kindly sharing of them with others. No surer rule and no more valid exhortation to keep it could be devised than when we are taught that all the gifts we possess have been bestowed by God and entrusted to us on condition that they be distributed for our neighbors’ benefit.” (Institutes 3.7.5)

Things are going well here. I'm getting ordained on September 20th in Madison, GA. Find a cheap plane ticket and c'mon down!
