A man going to work and doing his job, earning a pay check, coming home and praying with his kids, catechising them, and then going to bed having relations. That's life. And people can do all that to the glory of the sovereign god. I've just been working through some of the calvin's writings that relate to monasticism. Calvin says a actually a mother at home, changing dipers, has a real vocation,. whereas a nun in the cloister, spending her day on herself and her own soul's salvation, is an offence against god. It isn't a calling at all. In fact, it's offensive because god is not pleased.
