As I looked at material and spiritual poverty in the world around me, including approximately 2 billion people who haven't even heard the gospel, I knew that I needed to make some major changes in my life.

We have a dangerous tendency to misunderstand, minimize, and even manipulate the gospel in order to accommodate our assumptions and our desires.

My life is a blank check before God... No strings attached.

And this is why Jesus came: to endure the holy wrath of God due us.

God creates, blesses and saves each of us for a radically global purpose

Should it concern us that the bible never calls us to ask Jesus into our hearts. Should it concern us that the bible never mentions such a superstitious sinners prayer and yet that is exactly what we have sold to so many as salvation.

We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us.
