All ministry that is faithful & eventually fruitful finds its roots in the life, death, & resurrection of Jesus Christ.

There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, "Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue." There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.
