On this day, July 10, 1509, John Calvin was born in Noyon, France. It is difficult to overstate his significance in shaping a significant stream of the Protestant Reformation. Despite his well-known weaknesses, God used him in countless ways to clearly teach the Word of God and hold out a vision of the sovereignty and beauty of God in Jesus Christ that still compels people today. Between his Institutes of the Christian Religion and his numerous commentaries, Calvin still speaks though he has been long dead.
Take a moment today to thank God for the gift of John Calvin to the church.

Hey Matt:
Don't know whether we're having email problems again, but I've recently both emailed you and left voicemail at your seminary number.
Dan,
I emailed you back (7/20/2009)
