This extremely shocking and utterly revolutionary call is the essence of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus: we are not called to simply believe certain points or observe certain practices, but ultimately to cling to the person of Christ as life itself.

May even the concept of unreached peoples be totally intolerable to us.

This is the curse of superficial religion: the constant attempt to do outward things apart from inward transformation.

The key is realizing - and believing - that this world is not your home. If you and I ever hope to free our lives from worldly desires, worldly thinking, worldly pleasures, worldly dreams, worldly ideals, worldly values, worldly ambitions, and worldly acclaim, then we must focus our lives on another world.

We go wherever God leads whenever God moves us...because we love His glory more than we love our lives.

Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God

Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.
