We can accomplish more in one month of dependence on the Spirit than we can in 100 years of dependence on ourselves.

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

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

The gospel confronts us with the hopelessness of our sinful condition. But we don't like what we see of ourselves in the gospel, so we shrink back from it.

I could not help but think that somewhere along the way we had missed what was radical about our faith and replaced it with what is comfortable.

We have an incomprehensibly great God!

If you claim to be a follower of Christ, I encourage you to consider your present commitment to a local church.
