Clearly our greatest need is not more regulations in order to merit salvation.

God in His providence hasn't called us to watch history, but to shape history by praying in His Name.

Our great need is to fall before an almighty Father day and night and to plead for him to show his radical power in and through us, enabling us to accomplish for his glory what we could never imagine in our own strength.

We desperately need each other in the daily fight to follow Christ in a world that's full of sin.

The faith in Christ that saves us from our sins involves an internal transformation that has external implications.

Whereas disinfecting Christians involves isolating them and teaching them to be good, discipling Christians involves propelling Christians into the world to risk their lives for the sake of others. Now the world is our focus, and we gauge success in the church not on the hundreds or thousands whom we can get into our buildings but on the hundreds or thousands who are leaving our buildings to take on the world with the disciples they are making

Jesus is no longer one to be accepted or invited in but one who is infinitely worthy of our immediate and total surrender.
