We have become dangerously comfortable- believers ooze with wealth and let their addictions to comfort and security numb the radical urgency of the gospel.

Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing.

Fear of God failing us leads us to "cover for God." This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.

I was raised Christian after age 5, but I didn't really understand it until high school. A friend of mine invited me to his youth group. There I heard the gospel, understood it, and accepted it.

God is love, but He also defines what love is. We don't have the license to define love according to our standards.
