While preparing for my Reformation Day message I came across a quote by Calvin that could serve as necessary corrective to the narcissism prevalent in the church today. Calvin said:
“It is not very sound theology to confine a man’s thoughts so much to himself, and not to set before him, as the prime motive of his existence, zeal to show forth the glory of God. For we are born first of all for God, and not for ourselves.”
