"We will never save civilisation as long as civilisation is our main object. We must learn to want something else even more."
—C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“[M]en are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God.”
John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book I, Chapter I, ¶3

I read the Institutes often. I can't quite figure out what it is about John Calvin that I like so much, but one thing is sure: often I feel like getting on my knees when concluding a chapter.
Theology that compels us to worship??? Who would've thunk?
