No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.

Twitter has shut down another account I operate which has broken no rules and existed for 10 years. They have denied my appeal and now they won't even respond to my inquiries. No more Charles Spurgeon quotes to more than 118,000 followers after a decade... @CHSpurgeon

“If anyone lacks the power to subdue his lustful passions, let him understand that the Lord has made it obligatory on him to marry.”

“Above all, fully conscious of our weakness and want of skill, let us invoke the help of God, and attempt nothing without trusting in him, since it is his alone to supply counsel, and strength, and courage, and arms.”, @JohnCalvinDaily @John_Calvin, “Calvin’s Institutes”

We by no means discharge our duty towards God when we obey him only in appearance.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

Repentance is the true turning of our life to God, a turning that arises from a pure and earnest fear of Him.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

Lawful worship consists in obedience alone.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

While all men seek after happiness, scarcely one in a hundred looks for it from God.

Doubtful prayer is no prayer at all.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

Justification and sanctification, gifts of grace, go together as if tied by an inseparable bond.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

Prosperity inebriates men, so that they take delights in their own merits.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

To search for wisdom apart from Christ means not simply foolhardiness but utter insanity.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

It is beyond dispute that some awareness of God exists in the human mind by natural instinct.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

For where love is wanting, the beauty of all virtue is mere tinsel, is empty sound, is not worth a straw, nay more, is offensive.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

We owe to the Scripture the same reverence we owe to God, since it has its only source in Him and has nothing of human origin mixed with it.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

The excellence of the church does not consist in multitude but in purity.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]

In Christ, God's face shines out, full of grace and gentleness to poor, unworthy sinners.

[John Calvin @John_Calvin]
