It is a constant battle to resist the temptation to have more luxuries, to acquire more stuff, and to live more comfortably.

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.

Why make disciples? Because heaven and hell exist, and the end of the world is coming.
