What drives passion for getting the gospel to all people is not guilt, it's glory.

Everything in all creation responds in obedience to the Creator... until we get to you and me. We have the audacity to look God in the face and say, "No."

The modern-day gospel says, 'God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Therefore, follow these steps, and you can be saved.' Meanwhile, the biblical gospel says, 'You are an enemy of God, dead in your sin, & in your present state of rebellion, you are not even able to see that you need life, much less to cause yourself to come to life. Therefore, you are radically dependent on God to do something in your life that you could never do.

When we realize that Jesus is the one who takes the initiative and invites us to follow him, everything changes-on multiple levels.

In every genre of biblical literature and every stage of biblical history, God is seen pouring out his grace on his people for the sake of his glory among all peoples.

Nothing is impossible for the people of God who trust in the power of God to accomplish the will of God.

Peruse the Christian marketplace, and you will find a plethora of books, songs, and paintings that depict God as a loving Father.
