We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God. Our hearts resonate with the idea of enjoying God's grace. We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us. And while the wonder of grace is worthy of our attention, if that grace is disconnected from its purpose, the sad result is a self-centered Christianity that bypasses the heart of God.

Surrounded by the self -sufficiency of American culture, we can convince ourselves that we have what it takes to achieve something great.

Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God

[...]there is no injustice in God. The injustice lies in Christians who possess the gospel and refuse to give their lives to making it known among those who haven't heard.

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?'

The price of our non-discipleshi p is high for those without Christ.

Who God is and what Christ did have huge implications for who we are personally and what we desire sexually.
