Gospel possession requires gospel proclamation.

Superficial religion consists of merely believing certain truths and doing certain things....such superficial religion is rampant in the world today.

Christianity is radically different from every other religion in the world.

There is a sense in which the danger of our lives increases in proportion to the depth of our relationship with Christ.

If we were left to ourselves with the task of taking the gospel to the world, we would immediately begin planning innovative strategies and plotting elaborate schemes. We would organize conventions, develop programs, and create foundations… But Jesus is so different from us. With the task of taking the gospel to the world, he wandered through the streets and byways…All He wanted was a few men who would think as He did, love as He did, see as He did, teach as He did and serve as He did. All He needed was to revolutionize the hearts of a few, and they would impact the world.

Salvation now consists of a deep wrestling in our souls with the sinfulness of our hearts, the depth of our depravity, and the desperation of our need for his grace.

Salvation has absolutely nothing to do with human merit and absolutely everything to do with divine mercy.
