Jesus said go and make disciples, but so often we just sit and make excuses

I have one reason why you should walk away from that temptation right now. One reason: God. Is. Better.

We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live.

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.

The core problem isn’t the fact that we’re lukewarm, halfhearted, or stagnant Christians. The crux of it all is why we are this way, and it is because we have an inaccurate view of God. We see Him as a benevolent Being who is satisfied when people manage to fit Him into their lives in some small way. We forget that God never had an identity crisis. He knows that He’s great and deserves to be the center of our lives.

Lukewarm people call 'radical' what Jesus expected of all His followers.

Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.
