"I can imagine no more comfortable frame of mind for the conduct of life than a humorous resignation." W(illiam) Somerset Maugham 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
"We were lost and dead in sin. We were by nature objects of God's wrath. But God Loved us! That Love caused Him to do something about our situation. God is rich in mercy, so He made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions. God acted on His Love for us and saved us by His Grace! Grace is the result of the actions of His Love. The remarkable thing about His Grace is that He didn't ask us to do anything but believe Him. God didn't ask us to perform some great deed. He didn't demand obedience from us before He would save us. God made us alive with Christ 'even when we were dead in transgressions and sins.' God is showing the universe 'the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.' (Ephesians 2:7) God was Kind to us 'in' Christ because He Loved us." Mark McGee 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote

And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are." Henry Louis Mencken 5.0000 average rating Rate this Quote
