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.

Can I go to heaven without truly and faithfully loving Jesus?”

God cares more about your obedience to His Spirit's leading TODAY than what you will do next year.

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

It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe - the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.

True faith means holding nothing back; it bets everything on the hope of eternity

Jesus' call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.
