Making 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 PlattReal success is found in radical sacrifice. Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God. The purpose of our lives transcends the country and culture in which we live. Meaning is found in community, not individualism; joy is found in generosity, not materialism; and truth is found in Christ, not universalism. Ultimately, Jesus is a reward worth risking everything to know, experience, and enjoy.
David PlattThe very first word out of Jesus; mouth in is ministry in the New Testament is clear: repent.
David PlattIt's important to realize that we adopt not because we are rescuers. No. We adopt because we are rescued.
David PlattAs 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.
