Every Christian has unique opportunities to engage the most pressing social issues of our day by praying, proclaiming the gospel, and participating with God in all that he is doing in the world.

When we realize we have the responsibility to teach the word, it changes everything about how we hear the Word.

Salvation has absolutely nothing to do with human merit and absolutely everything to do with divine mercy.

To be a Christian is to realize that in your sin, you were separated from God's presence, and you deserved nothing but God's wrath.

Somewhere along the way we have subtly and tragically taken the costly command of Christ to go, baptize, and teach all nations and mutated it into a comfortable call for Christians to come, be baptized, and listen in one location.

And while we stand with conviction and courage, we must live with compassion. Amid a world with massive social needs around us, ranging from desperate poverty and orphan crises and millions of girls being trafficked for sex, to the degradation of marriage and the abortion of babies, we need to speak and act with selfless love on all of these issues.

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