We have nothing to fear, because God is sovereign.

God really is in the business of blessing his people in unusual ways so his goodness and his greatness will be declared among all peoples.

We will not wish we had made more money, acquired more stuff, lived more comfortably, taken more vacations, watched more television, pursued greater retirement, or been more successful in the eyes of this world. Instead, we will wish we had given more of ourselves to living for the day when every nation, tribe, people, and language will bow around the throne and sing the praises of the Savior who delights in radical obedience and the God who deserves eternal worship.

Surely the gospel evokes unconditional surrender of all that we are and all that we have to all that He is.

We do not follow a health and wealth savior. We follow a homeless and wounded Savior.

Give liberally. Go urgently. Live dangerously.

The most glorious reason you exist is for the proclamation of the glory of God to the ends of the world. And it's more than having a nice life.
