We assume that our race simply deserves heaven; that God owes heaven to us unless we do something really bad to warrant otherwise.

The gospel confronts us with the hopelessness of our sinful condition. But we don't like what we see of ourselves in the gospel, so we shrink back from it.

There is indescribable joy, deep satisfaction and an eternal purpose in dying to ourselves and living for Christ.

Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.

Surrounded by the self -sufficiency of American culture, we can convince ourselves that we have what it takes to achieve something great.

Jesus has not given us options to consider. He has given us commands to obey.

We do not have time to waste our lives coasting out casual, comfortable Christianity.
