Men are undoubtedly more in danger from prosperity than from adversity! For when matters go smoothly, they flatter themselves, and are intoxicated by their success! John Calvin

John Calvin on Abortion!
For the fetus, though enclosed in the womb of it’s mother, is already a human being, and it is a monstrous crime to rob it of the life which has not yet begun to enjoy. If it seems more horrible to kill a man in his own house than in the field, because a man’s is his place of most secure refuge, it ought surely to be deemed more atrocious to destroy a fetus in the womb before it has come to light! John Calvin, French Theologian (1509-1564)
Trust Yourself? 1 Corinthians 2:16
Man’s mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much that if a man believes in his own mind it is certain he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain. John Calvin, French Theologian (1509-1564)
Anticipation or Apprehension?
Which is it? “Let us consider this settled, that no one has made progress in the school of Christ who does not joyfully await the day of death and final resurrection!” John Calvin
Thanksgiving 1925
“As we have grown and prospered in material things, so also should we prosper in moral and spiritual things, we are a God fearing people who should set ourselves against evil and strive for righteousness in living, and observing the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12), we should from our abundance help and serve those less fortunately placed, we should in gratitude to God for His many favors.” President Calvin Coolidge
Reformation & Anti-Sematism! Romans 1:16
Their (The Jews), rotten and unbending stiffness deserve that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without pity of anyone! John Calvin Comment: This is not a good attitude to have to win Jews to Christ? Yet the Protestant Reformation carried out the same persecution of the Jews that the Catholic Church did? One of the greatest benefits of the Reformation was getting the printed Gospel into the hands of the common people like you and me! With the aid of the printing press the Bible was mass produced in English and other languages and distributed to the people to read for themselves! This was probably the greatest revolution of history! Prior to this the Bible was in Latin and only read and interpreted to the people by the Catholic Priests! During the Reformation Martin Luther thought the Jews would come to Christ but he was wrong! In his anger he also set up persecution to the Jews! It was culminated 400 years later for Germany with Hitler! The reformers helped clean up the corruption in the Catholic Church! However during the 30 Years War between Catholics and Protestants we had 8 million casualties! The Truth does not come cheap! The Apostle Paul was a Jew and he became so upset with the Jews that he decided to take the Gospel to the Gentiles! If Jesus being a Jew could not reach the majority of Jews while here on earth who are we? Jesus disciples were Jews who gave us our New Testament! Marks and Engels were atheist Jews! Darwin the atheist was a Jew! Einstein was a Jew! The majority of Jews here in America today are atheists and support with their millions of dollars Democratic left wing causes! Christopher Columbus was a Jew! He was a believer in Christ! Peyton Manning and Robert Kraft owner of the Patriots are Jews! The Orthodox Jews here in America by 90 percent are conservative and vote Republican! So we support what we believe about God! We know from scriptures that the Anti-Christ will be Jewish and gay! Do you think the Jews would trust a Gentile to go into their re-built Temple in Jerusalem? During the 7 year Tribulation period in history many Jews will come to Christ! As with the Apostle Paul the scales will be lifted from their eyes! In the short time we have left here on earth pray for them and show the love of Christ that dwells in you to them for this will be the greatest witness of our Faith! James and Hamsa Sasse.

What is Christmas?
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind! To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas! President Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)
Where is Your Confidence?
There is no worse screen to block the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence! John Calvin (1509-1564)
Do You Defend God’s Word?
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw God’s truth attacked and yet remain silent! John Calvin (1509-1564)
