Lacking access to his writings, I am quoting a person that claims John Calvin wrote, “The Lord often permits Christians to be despised or rejected by the world, that being liberated and cleansed from its pollution, we may cultivate holiness. We must love those that do not love God, but [caps mine] CONFORMING OURSELVES TO THEIR STANDARDS FOR THEIR APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE IS DISASTROUS.”
In your daily lives don’t forget that “there is always a window, even when there are trivial earthly consequences.”
Further, how about this? “Why do you need a campaign [to restore prayer in schools]? Just have your children bow their heads and pray.” Now, revisit the capitalized phrase above.
