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.

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.

Why not begin operating under the idea that God has given us excess, not so we could have more, but so we could give more?

What drives passion for getting the gospel to all people is not guilt, it's glory.

It's important to realize that we adopt not because we are rescuers. No. We adopt because we are rescued.

Therefore, when I look for a church, I look for the music that best fits me and the programs that best cater to me and my family. When I make plans for my life and career, it is about what works best for me and my family. When I consider the house I will live in, the car I will drive, the clothes I will wear, the way I will live, I will choose according to what is best for me. This is the version of Christianity that largely prevails in our culture. But it is not biblical Christianity.

Are We Going to die in our religion or are we going to die in our devotion?
