To be a disciple of Jesus is to make disciples of Jesus.

Good intentions, regular worship, Bible study, do not prevent blindness. Part of our sinful nature instinctively chooses to see what we want to see and to ignore what we want to ignore.

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

People who claim to be Christians while their lives look no different from the rest of the world are clearly not Christians

As long as you and I understand salvation as checking off a box to get to God, we will find ourselves in the meaningless sea of world religions that actually condemn the human race by exalting our supposed ability to get to God. On the other hand, when you and I realize that we are morally evil, dead in sin and deserving of God's wrath with no way out on our own, we begin to discover our desperation for Christ.

I could not help but think that somewhere along the way we had missed what was radical about our faith and replaced it with what is comfortable.

Superficial religion consists of merely believing certain truths and doing certain things....such superficial religion is rampant in the world today.
