Reformed Wisdom

On Acts 5:13 –

“Last Sunday, we began to talk about how useful the miracles can be for us. First, we are to use them to strengthen our faith, for our Lord extended his hand and his power to witness to his gospel and to show its sure and infallible truth. We must not, then, ever separate the one from the other. For we understand how quickly the devil inclines us to superstition and perverts miracles so that they do not magnify and exalt God’s glory and power, but blaspheme and dishonor him. Examples of that we have seen and still see through the Papacy” – John Calvin, Sermons on the Acts of the Apostles, Chapters 1-7, 219.
