Jesus is not some puny religious teacher begging for an invitation from anyone. He is the all-sovereign Lord who deserves submission from everyone.

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

God in His providence hasn't called us to watch history, but to shape history by praying in His Name.

Who God is and what Christ did have huge implications for who we are personally and what we desire sexually.

Anyone wanting to proclaim the glory of Christ to the ends of the earth must consider not only how to declare the gospel verbally but also how to demonstrate the gospel visibly in a world where so many are urgently hungry. If I am going to address urgent spriitual need by sharing the gospel of Christ or building up the body of Christ around the world, then I cannot overlook dire physical need in the process.

Do we believe the reward found in Jesus is worth the risk of following Him?

Salvation now consists of a deep wrestling in our souls with the sinfulness of our hearts, the depth of our depravity, and the desperation of our need for his grace.
