May even the concept of unreached peoples be totally intolerable to us.

In our evil we rebel against God. We take the law of God, written in his Word and on our hearts, and we disobey it.

Jesus is not some puny religious teacher begging for an invitation from anyone. He is the all-sovereign Lord who deserves submission from everyone.

We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God.

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

While the goal of the American dream is to make much of us, the goal of the gospel is to make much of God.

The modern-day gospel says, 'God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Therefore, follow these steps, and you can be saved.' Meanwhile, the biblical gospel says, 'You are an enemy of God, dead in your sin, & in your present state of rebellion, you are not even able to see that you need life, much less to cause yourself to come to life. Therefore, you are radically dependent on God to do something in your life that you could never do.
