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.

What if the word of God was enough to inspire passionate worship among his people?

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?

I am finding deep joy in depending on Christ for the guidance only He can provide as He produces the fruit of gospel in my life.

God involves us in his mission not because he needs us but because he loves us.

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.

And while we stand with conviction and courage, we must live with compassion. Amid a world with massive social needs around us, ranging from desperate poverty and orphan crises and millions of girls being trafficked for sex, to the degradation of marriage and the abortion of babies, we need to speak and act with selfless love on all of these issues.
