We are afraid that if we stop and really look at God in his Word, we might discover that he evokes greater awe and demands deeper worship than we are ready to give him.

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.

Our possessions can be deadly. They can be subtly deadly.

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

Anyone wanting to proclaim the glory of Christ to the ends of the earth must consider not only how to declare the gospel verbally but also how to demonstrate the gospel visibly in a world where so many are urgently hungry. If I am going to address urgent spriitual need by sharing the gospel of Christ or building up the body of Christ around the world, then I cannot overlook dire physical need in the process.

God stands ready to allocate his power to all who are radically dependent on Him and radically devoted to making much of Him.

Passionate worship always leads to personal witness. Always. And what that means is . . . if we’re not witnessing, there’s a problem with our worship. We’re not seeing God for who He is! We’re not realizing what He’s done! We’re not realizing the magnitude of what He’s done for our souls!
