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

When God tells us to give extravagantly, we can trust Him to do the same in our lives. And this is really the core issue of it all. Do we trust Him? Do we trust Jesus when He tells us to give radically for the sake of the poor? Do we trust Him to provide for us when we begin using the resources He has given us to provide for others? Do we trust Him to know what is best for our lives, our families, and our financial futures?

God creates, blesses and saves each of us for a radically global purpose

Jesus came to live the life we could not live and to die the death we deserve to die.

We will not wish we had made more money, acquired more stuff, lived more comfortably, taken more vacations, watched more television, pursued greater retirement, or been more successful in the eyes of this world. Instead, we will wish we had given more of ourselves to living for the day when every nation, tribe, people, and language will bow around the throne and sing the praises of the Savior who delights in radical obedience and the God who deserves eternal worship.

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

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.
