But then I realize there is never going to be a day when I stand before God and He looks at me and says, 'I wish you would have kept more for yourself.' I'm confident that God will take care of me.

When we realize that Jesus is the one who takes the initiative and invites us to follow him, everything changes-on multiple levels.

I am finding deep joy in depending on Christ for the guidance only He can provide as He produces the fruit of gospel in my life.

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

We assume that our race simply deserves heaven; that God owes heaven to us unless we do something really bad to warrant otherwise.

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

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