The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but "What has Jesus done for you?"

The basic premise of religion– that if you live a good life, things will go well for you– is wrong. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet He had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.

When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.

Secularism and Religion are both all about your personal performance. The Gospel is the performance of another applied to you.

At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.

If you don't feel like praying, pray to God to give you the desire.

The gospel is not only the way to enter the kingdom; it is the way to live in the kingdom.
