Reformed Wisdom

John Calvin on John 4:1-42:

"We note the same laziness in ourselves, along with the lack of inclination to worship God when there is no convenient means of worship.  If we use such excuses, we will never profit from worship as we should.  Why does the church choose the hours that are most appropriate, a definite place to assemble, and a bell to ring, with all these matters carefully arranged?  It is because we humans have practically no desire to give ourselves to God unless we are first drawn to do so."
