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

John Calvin

Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.
JOHN CALVIN

We must make the invisible kingdom visible in our midst.

The majesty of God in itself goes beyond the capacity of human understanding and cannot be comprehended by it.. We must adore its loftiness rather than investigate it, so that we do not remain overwhelmed by so great a splendor.
JOHN CALVIN
