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

There is a sense in which the danger of our lives increases in proportion to the depth of our relationship with Christ.

God's ultimate concern is not to get you or me from point A to point B along the quickest, easiest, smoothest, clearest route possible. Instead, his ultimate concern is that you and I would know him deeply as we trust him more completely.

Why not begin operating under the idea that God has given us excess, not so we could have more, but so we could give more?

We owe Christ to the world--to the least person and to the greatest person, to the richest person and to the poorest person, to the best person and to the worst person. We are in debt to the nations.

Our greatest need is not to try harder. Our greatest need is a new heart.

The resources of heaven are ready and waiting for the people of God who desire to make much of him in this world
