My biggest fear, even now, is that I will hear Jesus' words and walk away, content to settle for less than radical obedience to Him.

We do not have time to waste our lives coasting out casual, comfortable Christianity.

We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God.

The gospel reveals the glory of God. According to God's Word, he is the sovereign Creator of all things.

So the challenge for us is to live in such a way that we are radically dependent on and desperate for the power that only God can provide.

The dangerous assumption we unknowingly accept in the American dream is that our greatest asset is our own ability.

And ultimately, If you sin against an infinitely holy and eternal God, you are infinitely guilty and worthy of eternal punishment.
