So what is the difference between someone who willfully indulges in sexual pleasures while ignoring the Bible on moral purity and someone who willfully indulges in the selfish pursuit of more and more material possessions while ignoring the Bible on caring for the poor? The difference is that one involves a social taboo in the church and the other involves the social norm in the church.

Surely the gospel evokes unconditional surrender of all that we are and all that we have to all that He is.

Give liberally. Go urgently. Live dangerously.

He (Jesus) came so that we might receive new life through supernatural regeneration.

We have nothing to fear, because God is sovereign.

We are not the end of the gospel; God is.

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