God stands ready to allocate his power to all who are radically dependent on Him and radically devoted to making much of Him.

We don't have stomachs for the things of this world because we have feasted on the goodness of our God.

We act, though, not under a utopian illusion that you or I or anyone or everyone together can rid this world of pain and suffering. That responsibility belongs to the resurrected Christ, and he will do it when he returns. But until that day, we do with an undivided heart whatever God calls us to do.

And as we meet needs on earth, we are proclaiming a gospel that transforms lives for eternity. The point is not simply to meet a temporary need or change a startling statistic; the point is to exalt the glory of Christ as we express the gospel of Christ through the radical generosity of our lives.

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

Faith is the realization that God's pleasure in you will never be based upon your performance for him.

Do you realize the weight of the one who has invited us to follow him? He is worthy of more than church attendance and casual association; he is worthy of total abandonment and supreme adoration.
