David PlattThere is a sense in which the danger of our lives increases in proportion to the depth of our relationship with Christ.
David PlattThe call of Christ is to deny ourselves and to let go of our lives. To relinquish control of our lives, to surrender everything we are, everything that we do, our direction our safety our security is no longer found in the things of this world. It is found in Christ. And that is great risk when it comes to the things of this world.
