Christianity does not begin with our pursuit of Christ, but with Christ’s pursuit of us.

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.

If our lives do not reflect radical compassion for the poor, there is reason to wonder if Christ is really in us at all

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

Somewhere along the way we have subtly and tragically taken the costly command of Christ to go, baptize, and teach all nations and mutated it into a comfortable call for Christians to come, be baptized, and listen in one location.

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

Do you realize the weight of the one who has invited us to follow him? He is worthy of more than church attendance and casual association; he is worthy of total abandonment and supreme adoration.
