OUTSTANDING This was an outstanding talk on the life of John Calvin. Oh, for all those christians who bash this man and what he stood for, how I wish they would listen to this wonderful sermon on him and his life. Thank you for this message and you have put the desire in me to go back and really read the Calvin Institutes. God bless.

IMPRESSED & HUMBLED with your excellent lecture I was impressed and humbled with your excellent lecture on John Calvin. How tragic it is that Calvin is so often portrayed in such derogatory terms. Your concluding comments on Calvin as the apostle of true freedom under the Sovereignty of GOD were particularly insightful, intriguing and thought provoking. It would seem that GOD "visibly" reigning in the church, in the home, and in the state, could or would be only if men reigned who had the heart, the vision, and the goodness of John Calvin.
I can only say the words that Calvin knew in the depths of his soul, the LORD GOD is Sovereign. Oh, to have the vision of the glory of GOD, and the heart of this man of GOD.
Again, thank you.
Truly from HIS mercy and grace alone, and to HIS GLORY alone.
