Category: Improving Life

Inspired by a New Year’s sermon published in 1799 by Minister David M’Clure, A. M. An amazing sermon available to read on the “Lessons from the Past” page of this site. The sermon is in 18th century English, so at times it may require reader participation (look up a word). He begins with “Multiplied and various are the calls which God gives to mankind, by his word and providences, to improve life.” At the end he says “By sin we are condemned to the world of sorrows; but thro’ the abounding grace of God, may obtain the Heavenly world. How ought we then to improve every moment of time.” It seemed so simple. This is how you “Pursue The Character of God,” “Improve Life.” If you break every decision down to “Does my choice ‘improve life’?” then your decisions should align with God’s character. So, I set out to live my life, “improving life,” and here we are.
