                    Poem: The Gospel According to You
Arthur McPhee said: 
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
Are read by more than a few,
But the one that is most read and commented on
Is the gospel according to you.
You are writing a gospel, a chapter each day
By the things that you do and the words that

                    "A great deal of our anxiety to make excuses comes from not really believing in the forgiveness of sins, from thinking that God will not take us to Himself again unless He is satisfied that some sort of case can be made out in our favor.
But that would not be forgiveness at all. Real forgiveness

                    William Law made a lasting impact upon 18th century England with his book, A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life.

Law understood that it
