For no one is put right in God's sight by doing what the Law requires; what the Law does is to make us know that we have

sinned. But now God's way of putting people right with himself has

been revealed. It has nothing to do with law, even though the Law of Moses and the prophets gave their witness to it.

God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no

difference at all: everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving

presence. But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him

through Christ Jesus, who sets them free. God offered him, so that by his blood he should become the means by which people's sins are forgiven through their faith

in him. Rom 3:20 - 25

My one purpose in

life is to help people

find a personal

relationship with God, which, I believe, comes

through knowing Christ.

Billy Graham

Rather than

focus on your

critics, focus on

the people

who are impacted

by you.

Tyler Perry(Willowcreek Leadership

Summit 2014)

I will give you a new heart and a new mind. I will take away your stubborn

heart of stone and give you

an obedient heart. I will put my spirit in you

and will see to it that you follow my laws

and keep all the commands I have given you.

Ez 36:26-27

Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs... Leo Tolstoy

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen.

Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love.

And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator,

not by passively waiting for grace to come down

from upon high, but by doing what

you can to make grace happen...

yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

Bradley Whitford
