He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

We should be so joyful from God's grace that others would respond by saying, 'I wish I had your God.

...I don't think my church's teachings were incorrect, just incomplete.

It's not that there aren't a million other things to learn about God, but He says you've got to start with the fear of the Lord because that's the beginning of wisdom.

Some of you are sitting at home saying, 'I don't need a church to love God,' and I am here telling you that you are so wrong.

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.
