Calvinism is an all-embracing system of principles. . . It is rooted in a form of religion which was peculiarly its own, and form that specific religious consciousness there was developed first a particular theology, then a special church-order, and then a given form for political and social life.
Intercession is more than specific: it is pondered: it requires us to bear on our heart the burden of those for whom we pray.
I'm not being analytical. I just create everything intuitively. If you're too analytical, what you're doing probably ends up being too specific.
Vegetarianism is not implicitly important for the mental progress or the intellectual development, unless it is supposed to be a remedy to clean the body from slag.
