If our lives do not reflect radical compassion for the poor, there is reason to wonder if Christ is really in us at all

When you come to Jesus, you don't come to get health, wealth and prosperity. You come to Jesus to get Jesus

The faith in Christ that saves us from our sins involves an internal transformation that has external implications.

What if all it took to bring us to our knees and to ignite our affections was the Word opened and the presence of God? What if that was enough for us? What if it didn't take a great band to evoke that kind of response from us in worship? What if His presence - His Word opened - what if it was enough?

A high view of God’s sovereignty fuels death-defying devotion to global missions. Maybe another way to put it, people, and more specifically pastors, who believe that God’s sovereign over all things will lead Christians to die for the sake of all peoples.

Faith is the realization that God's pleasure in you will never be based upon your performance for him.

Some people think that if they will do certain things, they will somehow earn the favor of God, but this misses the whole point of Christianity and ironically devolves into a me-centered approach.
