John Calvin
 On July 10, 1509, John Calvin was born in a small town in France. That means that this month marks the 500th anniversary of his birth.
Calvin was a remarkable man. By the age of 27 he had written his Institutes of the Christian Religion, a seminal work that laid out the Christian religion in detail from start to finish. There is no denying the influence John Calvin has had on the Church and on the world at large. It has been argued that Calvin's writings were the seedbed of concepts such as capitalism and democracy.

Covenant Living: Deliberate
"...and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes." (Deut. 6:8)
 For the devotional section of our monthly newsletter, we have been looking at six principles of covenant living from Deuteronomy 6 which all begin with the letter "d". This month we will look at the fifth of these sixth principles which is Deliberate.
In Deuteronomy 6:8 we read, "...and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes." What does this mean?
"Frontlets" are little ornaments worn around the head like a headband. Each one had a little pocket or pouch. A tradition developed with the ancient Hebrews where they would place slips of paper in the pouch. On these pieces of paper were Bible verses which they had memorized. The more memorized, the bigger the pouch. We see the Lord Jesus mention this in Matthew 23, but he is not favorable about it. These headbands had become a source of pride. Apparently, the motive of these Pharisees was to be seen by men, which is not a good motive in God's eyes.

Covenant Living: Declare
"You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. " (Deut. 6:9)
 For our May newsletter, we want to conclude a series of lessons on covenant living. Over the past several months we have looked at Deut. 6:4-9 and noted that there are six principles in these verses which all begin with the letter "d". First, we looked at how we are to be doctrinal people, taking seriously the truths of God's Word. Next, we saw that in getting our doctrine right, we must also be devotional people, loving the LORD with all of our heart. Thirdly, we saw that we should disciple or teach people God's truth. Fourthly, we saw that the Word of God should affect what we do. Last month we looked at the fact that the Word of God should affect what we think or how we deliberate. That leaves us with our sixth and final principle which is that we should declare our faith.

Covenant Living: Do
"You shall bind them as a sign on your hand. " (Deut. 6:8)
 For the devotional part of our monthly newsletter, we've been looking at Covenant Living. That is, we have been looking at the practical living out of our faith using Deuteronomy 6:4-9 as a text. In that passage of Scripture, there are 6 principles listed. For easy memorizing, we have labeled each principle with a word that begins with the letter "d". So far, we have looked at the importance of doctrine; next, we looked at how we should be a devotional people; and last month we looked at discipleship. This month we want to look at the forth principle which is do.
