Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
Children, obey. Why does the apostle use the word obey instead of honor, which has a greater extent of meaning? It is because obedience is the evidence of that honor which children owe to their parents, and it therefore more earnestly enforced. It is likewise more difficult; for the human mind recoils from the idea of subjection, and with difficulty allows itself to be placed under the control of another.

— John Calvin
The only people who believe are those who had been appointed to eternal life. God only grants the gift of faith to those who are predestined to salvation. He chose us, and to those he has he gives the power to believe.
— John Calvin
