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.

Ask, could my gifts, education, career, or experience be used to spread the gospel where it’s needed most?

Give liberally. Go urgently. Live dangerously.

The resources of heaven are ready and waiting for the people of God who desire to make much of him in this world

The faith in Christ that saves us from our sins involves an internal transformation that has external implications.

My biggest fear, even now, is that I will hear Jesus' words and walk away, content to settle for less than radical obedience to Him.

The journey begins, though, with understanding what it means to be a christian. To say you believe in Jesus apart from conversion in your life completely misses the essence of what it means to follow him. Do not be deceived.
