Privatized faith in a resurrected Christ is practically inconceivable.

God has made a way of salvation for the lost. Not a way, but the way. And this is the good news - the gospel.

Disciple making also involves teaching people to obey all that Christ has commanded us. Now some might say, "Isn't that what preachers are supposed to do?" And in one sense, the answer to this question is yes. God has clearly called and gifted some people in the church to teach his Word formally. At the same time, he has commanded every follower of Jesus to teach his Word relationally.

In our evil we rebel against God. We take the law of God, written in his Word and on our hearts, and we disobey it.

He (Jesus) came so that we might receive new life through supernatural regeneration.

We live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God.

God blesses his people with extravagant grace so they might extend his extravagant glory to all peoples on the earth
