God really is in the business of blessing his people in unusual ways so his goodness and his greatness will be declared among all peoples.

Gospel possession requires gospel proclamation.

Believing in the Jesus of the Bible makes life risky on a lot of levels because it is absolute surrender of every decision we make, every dollar we spend, our lives belong to another.

Suddenly contemporary Christianity sales pitches don't seem adequate anymore. Ask Jesus to come into your heart. Invite Jesus to come into your life. Pray this prayer, sign this card, walk down this aisle, and accept Jesus as your personal Savior. . . We have taken the infinitely glorious Son of God, who endured the infinitely terrible wrath of God and who now reigns as the infinitely worthy Lord of all, and we have reduced him to a poor, puny Savior who is just begging for us to accept him. Accept him? Do we really think Jesus needs our acceptance? Don't we need him?

The Life of Christ determines everything about us.

Forgiveness is God's greatest gift because it meets our greatest need.

This is the curse of superficial religion: the constant attempt to do outward things apart from inward transformation.
