Bad Things Good People
"Question Six: "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Answer: Bad things don't happen to good people. This is because there are no "good" people according to the Bible (see Psalm 14:1–3). God's definition of a "good" person is someone who is morally perfect — in thought, word, and in deed. Only God is good. A more relevant question would be, "Why do good things happen to bad people?" The answer is that God has lavished His kindness upon us, despite our many sins."

God's Gifts
"Riches are the pettiest and least worthy gifts which God can give a man. What are they to God's Word, to bodily gifts, such as beauty and health; or to the gifts of the mind, such as understanding, skill, wisdom! Yet men toil for them day and night, and take no rest. Therefore God commonly gives riches to foolish people to whom he gives nothing else."
~Martin Luther

The Calvinist
"The Calvinist is the man who has seen God, and who, having seen God in His glory, is filled on the one hand, with a sense of his own unworthiness to stand in God's sight as a creature, and much more as a sinner, and on the other hand, with adoring wonder that nevertheless this God is a God who receives sinners."
