Gospel possession requires gospel proclamation.

Good intentions, regular worship, Bible study, do not prevent blindness. Part of our sinful nature instinctively chooses to see what we want to see and to ignore what we want to ignore.

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

We are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.

Christianity does not start with an invitation we offer to Jesus, but with an invitation Jesus offers to us.

The gospel does not prompt you to mere reflection; the gospel requires a response. In the process of hearing Jesus, you are compelled to take an honest look at your life, your family, and your church and not just ask, 'What is he saying?' but also ask, 'What shall I do?'

To be a Christian is to be loved by God, pursued by God, and found by God.
