God involves us in his mission not because he needs us but because he loves us.
And this is why Jesus came: to endure the holy wrath of God due us.
We assume that our race simply deserves heaven; that God owes heaven to us unless we do something really bad to warrant otherwise.
Don't underestimate what God can do with ordinary people.
We do not have time to waste our lives coasting out casual, comfortable Christianity.
The mega-strategy of Jesus: make disciples.
