Making disciples isn’t about gathering pupils to listen to your teaching. The real focus is not on teaching people at all–the focus is on loving them.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It's about God who wants to give to you.

Non-churchgoer s tend to see Christians as takers rather than givers. When Christians sacrifice and give wildly to the poor, that is truly a light that glimmers. The Bible teaches that the church is to be that light, that sign of hope, in an increasingly dark and hopeless world.

...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.

People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world (James 2:14-26).

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