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

I could not help but think that somewhere along the way we had missed what was radical about our faith and replaced it with what is comfortable.

The message of biblical Christianity is 'God loves me so that I might make him- his ways, his salvation, his glory, and his greatness- known among all nations.' Now God is the object of our faith, and Christianity centers around him. We are not the end of the gospel; God is'

God actually delights in exalting our inability. He intentionally puts his people in situations where they come face to face with their need for him.

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.

Our great need is to fall before an almighty Father day and night and to plead for him to show his radical power in and through us, enabling us to accomplish for his glory what we could never imagine in our own strength.

It's important to realize that we adopt not because we are rescuers. No. We adopt because we are rescued.
