Calvin's Institutes: July 30
John Calvin's Institutes in a Year by Christopher Michael Patton
Episode notes
Today’s Readings Podcast Description
The Lord rules his Church by his word, yet he has chosen to use the ministry of men. In these opening sections of Chapter 3 from John Calvin’s Institutes, he shows why God employs pastors and teachers: to humble us, to bind us together in love, and to build up the body of Christ. The ordinary offices of pastor and teacher are essential and perpetual; without them the Church cannot be preserved.
