Who God is and what Christ did have huge implications for who we are personally and what we desire sexually.

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

God chose to set his love on the Israelites not because of any merit in them but solely because of mercy in him.

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

Do you and I believe him (Christ) enough to obey him and to follow him wherever he leads, even when the crowds in our culture - and maybe in our churches - turn the other way?...For the sake of an increasingly marginalized and relatively ineffective church in our culture, I want to risk it all. For the sake of my life, my family, and the people who surround me, I want to risk it all.

We don't have stomachs for the things of this world because we have feasted on the goodness of our God.

People who claim to be Christians while their lives look no different from the rest of the world are clearly not Christians
