Calvin on Psalm 72: remove legal protections and the powerful will exploit the weak—even their poor brethren. The king’s role is defender of those who can only be safe under the magistrate’s protection, avenger of the poor against injustice. Nobody objects to this in principle. The difficulty is that we have elevated our own inconveniences to the level of oppression, and genuinely cannot hear the cry of our poor brethren—because we have none

Calvin on James 1:27: religion is not demonstrated in the pomp of ceremonies but in visiting those in necessity and extending a helping hand to alleviate distress. These are the duties to which God’s servants ought to attend. One notes that pomp and ceremony remain extremely popular. The visiting of those in necessity, somewhat less so. Calvin considered the latter the actual definition of religion. The former, apparently, a distraction from it.

Calvin, preaching Deuteronomy, notes that Proverbs 22:2 commands rich and poor to meet together — proximity being the mechanism by which help actually reaches people. God, apparently, considered physical nearness load-bearing. Today we prefer charitable giving at arm’s length: a click, a transfer, no eye contact. Very efficient. Entirely missing the point Calvin was making, but very efficient.

Nicolaes Maes -- The Idle Servant -- 1655 -- Oil on panel -- National Gallery, London
A picture that I am fond of recollecting in my mind's eye. The chiaroscuro ensures that we pause to consider both the thoughts of the mistress about her servant and what the artists has her communicate to us viewers.
The National Gallery notes that the servant has been painted in the traditional pose of acedia (sloth), while the mistress is perhaps shrugging her shoulders as she smiles at us.
Almost four centuries away from this Dutch scene and the Calvinist bourgeois culture in which it was painted, nonspecialists like me might well hesitate before ascribing any more definite meaning to the picture in general and the expression and gesture of the mistress in particular.
Yet Maes has invested this little genre scene with such power that it would be emotionally dishonest to pretend that one's response has been suspended, awaiting scholarly explication.
For me, what is illuminated here is the power of self restraint to overcome anger and the mistress's suggestion, with her gesture and her smile, that sinful though the servant may be, we fellow children of Adam and Eve might not be that much better.
A far cry from the wealthy of either then or now whining about the difficulty of finding decent help these days...

If you promised to make me rich, would you fault me for having doubts?
Imagine that you and I are sitting in the pub on a Sunday afternoon. You turn to me and say, “Soon, but I can’t tell you when, I will give you half of everything I have, which will leave you the 98th richest man in the world.”
If I had doubts, would you blame me?
This is the problem that the doctrine of “you must believe to be saved” has problems. Belief is not something one chooses. Either you find a claim credible or you don’t.
Calvinism can get away with this teaching as it teaches that God’s grace is irresistible. That irresistible grace is predestined to be given to some. Thus, you or I believing is not something we had any say in and “you are saved by grace and not anything you did” holds true.
If you make salvation a choice, people choose hell or choose heaven by their belief or lack thereof. That’s not a choice. Saying the prayer to go to heaven is something I could boast about, but believing in the first place, not so much.
This is actually the problem of free will. If we have free will, there is nothing we can do to save ourselves; it has to be given to us. If we lack free will, salvation was out of our hands to begin with. Either way, there’s probably no choice involved.
Unless you subscribe to modern evangelical doctrine, and then it very much is your fault if you go to hell because of free will. Just don’t squint too hard at the logic there.
Feel free to show this to your evangelical pastor. I could use the exposure that being preached against would bring.

Nate's reference to C2K made me chuckle about my eclectic road. I'm #Calvinist and #TwoKingdoms, but my 2K theology came by way of #Luther. I'm a Calvinist who believes in #NaturalLaw, but my natural law theology came by way of Thomas. In every theological circle, I speak with an accent.

Andrew Bruce Davidson, Scottish minister, on Job’s defense against accusers (31:13-15). Job’s position couldda allowed him to despise the complaints of servants, except they were persons with rights, children of an avenging God.
Could we stand a shift of burden to the employer not to cause a complaint? What kind of business would that be?
How can you treat those who work for you, or supply you with services, as persons with rights?
