Jesus has not given us options to consider. He has given us commands to obey.

Instead of trying to conquer sin by working hard to change our actions, we can conquer sin by trusting Christ to change our affections.

Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names; but once you know, everything changes.

We are not the end of the gospel; God is.

Real success is found in radical sacrifice. Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God. The purpose of our lives transcends the country and culture in which we live. Meaning is found in community, not individualism; joy is found in generosity, not materialism; and truth is found in Christ, not universalism. Ultimately, Jesus is a reward worth risking everything to know, experience, and enjoy.

People will never know how glorious the cross is until they know how serious sin is.

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