The price of our non-discipleshi p is high for those without Christ.

This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness

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

The gospel beckons our sin-sick souls to simple trust in Christ, the only One who is truly radical enough.

The call of Christ is to deny ourselves and to let go of our lives. To relinquish control of our lives, to surrender everything we are, everything that we do, our direction our safety our security is no longer found in the things of this world. It is found in Christ. And that is great risk when it comes to the things of this world.

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

When we consider the promises of Christ, risking everything we are and everything we have for His sake is no longer a matter of sacrifice. It's just common sense.
