This is the curse of superficial religion: the constant attempt to do outward things apart from inward transformation.
David PlattMaking disciples by going, baptizing, and teaching people the Word of Christ and then enabling them to do the same thing in other peopleโs livesโthis is the plan God has for each of us to impact nations for the glory of Christ
David PlattGod really is in the business of blessing his people in unusual ways so his goodness and his greatness will be declared among all peoples.
David PlattIf we were left to ourselves with the task of taking the gospel to the world, we would immediately begin planning innovative strategies and plotting elaborate schemes. We would organize conventions, develop programs, and create foundationsโฆ But Jesus is so different from us. With the task of taking the gospel to the world, he wandered through the streets and bywaysโฆAll He wanted was a few men who would think as He did, love as He did, see as He did, teach as He did and serve as He did. All He needed was to revolutionize the hearts of a few, and they would impact the world.
