A few favorite quotes from recent reading of Calvin's institutes of the CHristian Religion:
Here, therefore, let us stand fast: our life shall best conform to God's will and the prescription of the law when it is in every respect most fruitful for our brethren.
~1.8.54
...[H]e set before his eyes not what the changing course of the world brings--more unstable than the ocean tides--but what the Lord will do when he will one day sit in judgment to determine the permanent state of heaven and earth.
~1.10.17
The Lord held to this orderly plan inm administering the covenant of his mercy: as the day of full revelation approached with the passing of time, the more he increased each day the brightness of its manifestation.
~1.10.20
(And for a practical example of this continuing unfolding of God's one plan and character, you might read the excellent post here.)
