God's revelation is in the gospel not only reveals who He is, but it also reveals who we are.

The gospel beckons our sin-sick souls to simple trust in Christ, the only One who is truly radical enough.

Faith is the realization that God's pleasure in you will never be based upon your performance for him.

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

When God tells us to give extravagantly, we can trust Him to do the same in our lives. And this is really the core issue of it all. Do we trust Him? Do we trust Jesus when He tells us to give radically for the sake of the poor? Do we trust Him to provide for us when we begin using the resources He has given us to provide for others? Do we trust Him to know what is best for our lives, our families, and our financial futures?

When we realize we have the responsibility to teach the word, it changes everything about how we hear the Word.

As Elisabeth Elliot points out, not even dying a martyr’s death is classified as extraordinary obedience when you are following a Savior who died on a cross. Suddenly a martyr’s death seems like normal obedience.
