I will save some of those for another time. But I cannot resist at least one: "He [Calvin] was convinced the church had a sufficient designer, Jesus Christ, and an effective design, which was delineated in Scripture and displayed in the church of the first century. Clearly, Calvin would abhor the efforts of today’s church leaders to ‘redesign’ the church. He was aware that the Lord does not call us to pray for church designers, since the designer of the church is Christ, but to pray for ‘builders and laborers’ to faithfully build on ‘the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone’ (Ephesians 2:20)." |
