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

Everything in all creation responds in obedience to the Creator... until we get to you and me. We have the audacity to look God in the face and say, "No."

Suddenly contemporary Christianity sales pitches don't seem adequate anymore. Ask Jesus to come into your heart. Invite Jesus to come into your life. Pray this prayer, sign this card, walk down this aisle, and accept Jesus as your personal Savior. . . We have taken the infinitely glorious Son of God, who endured the infinitely terrible wrath of God and who now reigns as the infinitely worthy Lord of all, and we have reduced him to a poor, puny Savior who is just begging for us to accept him. Accept him? Do we really think Jesus needs our acceptance? Don't we need him?

If you can trust God to save you for eternity, you can trust him to lead you for a lifetime.

That is relinquishing control in a culture that prioritizes control and doing what you need to do in order to advance yourself.

Clearly our greatest need is not more regulations in order to merit salvation.

The body of Christ is a multicultural citizenry of an otherworldly kingdom.
