Episode notes
Today’s Readings Podcast Description
True prayer flows from the heart and is offered to God alone through Christ. In these sections from John Calvin’s Institutes, we learn the importance of assiduous, sincere prayer—both private and public—while rejecting vain repetitions, ostentation, and any reliance on material temples or outward forms. Calvin emphasizes that the tongue should serve to glorify God with heartfelt words and song, and that public prayer strengthens the unity of the Church.
