Calvin's Institutes: June 21
John Calvin's Institutes in a Year by Christopher Michael Patton
Episode notes
Podcast Description
The experience of God’s past mercies strengthens our faith and fuels our prayers. In these sections from John Calvin’s Institutes, Calvin shows how the answered prayers of the saints encourage us to pray with confidence, while thanksgiving and petition are inseparably joined in true worship. He powerfully warns against the sacrilege of invoking any other than God alone through Christ, exposing the root of distrust that drives the error of saintly intercession.
