Conniving at Violations of the Majesty of God

"Let us also learn that nothing is less consistent than to punish heavily the crimes whereby mortals are injured, whilst we connive at the impious errors or sacrilegious modes of worship whereby the majesty of God is violated."

John Calvin
Comment on Exodus 32:29

True Spiritual Worship

Puritan, William Gurnall:

Your morals may be impeccable, but if you do not worship God, then you are an atheist.

If you worship Him and that devoutly, but not according to Scripture, you are an idolator.

If according to the rule, but not according to the spirit of the gospel, then you are a hypocrite.
