This is the reality about humanity. We are each born with an evil, God-hating heart. Genesis 8: 21 says that every inclination of man's heart is evil from childhood, and Jesus' words in Luke 11: 13 assume that we know we are evil.

Jesus is not some puny religious teacher begging for an invitation from anyone. He is the all-sovereign Lord who deserves submission from everyone.

There is indescribable joy, deep satisfaction and an eternal purpose in dying to ourselves and living for Christ.

My prayer is that people will see that following Jesus costs you everything you are and everything you have. And my prayer is that people will see that Jesus is worth it.

I couldn't really jet off to the States on a whim and a prayer.

Christianity does not start with an invitation we offer to Jesus, but with an invitation Jesus offers to us.

Don't underestimate what God can do with ordinary people.
