Prayer doesn't change things - God changes things in answer to prayer.

It would be the height of absurdity to label ignorance tempered by humility "faith"! (Institutio III.2.3)

Humility is the beginning of true intelligence.

If God were not to test us, there would be no patience.

Tears that are shed in time of affliction are rarely tears of penitence, but more likely they are shed out of self pity and pain or sorrow.

Things that are seen are temporal; things that are unseen are eternal.

God does not bestow his spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his word, but rather to render it fruitful.
