“Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make good people good; it makes dead people alive. That's the difference between the gospel of Jesus Christ and every other world religion. All the others exhort their followers to save themselves by being good, by conforming their lives to whatever their worshiped deity is. But the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.” PeopleWorldDoneJesusChristCan DoDifferencesAliveAcceptanceJesus ChristBe GoodFollowersGood PeopleConformDeitiesOther WorldsDead PeopleWorld Religions Author:Tullian Tchividjian

“I endeavor to drink deep of philosophy, and to be wise when I cannot be merry, easy when I cannot be glad, content with what cannot be mended, and patient where there is no redress. The mighty can do no more, and the wise seldom do as much. ... I am resolved to make the best of all circumstances around me, that this short life may not be half lost in pains ... Between the periods of birth and burial, I would fain insert a little happiness, a little pleasure, a little peace: to-day is ours, yesterday is past, and to-morrow may never come.” MayLittlesPhilosophyWisdomPainPastLostEasyCan DoPleasureHalfWiseAcceptanceBirthPeriodsCircumstancesDrinkPatientYesterdayGladEndeavorMerryBeing WiseMorrowShort LifeBurialInsertRedress Author:Elizabeth Montagu
