More quotes by David Platt
The price of our non-discipleshi p is high for those without Christ.
David Platt
Why make disciples? Because heaven and hell exist, and the end of the world is coming.
David Platt
Why not begin operating under the idea that God has given us excess, not so we could have more, but so we could give more?
David Platt
The sovereignty of God is the only foundation for worship in the midst of tragedy.
David Platt
We go wherever God leads whenever God moves us...because we love His glory more than we love our lives.
David Platt
It is impossible to be a follower of Christ while denying, disregarding, discrediting, and disbelieving the words of Christ.
David Platt
On popular issues like poverty and slavery, where Christians are likely to be applauded for our social action, we are quick to stand up and speak out. Yet on controversial issues like homosexuality and abortion, where Christians are likely to be criticized for our involvement, we are content to sit down and stay quiet.
David Platt
If there were 1,000 ways to God we would want 1,001.
David Platt

David Platt

David Platt
Instead of trying to conquer sin by working hard to change our actions, we can conquer sin by trusting Christ to change our affections.
David Platt
Radical obedience to Christ is not easy... It's not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough for us.
David Platt
I was immersed in comfortable Christianity. Years ago, I found myself living what seemed like the American church dream - pastoring a large church, living in a large house, and surrounded by all the comforts this world has to offer. But inside I had a sinking feeling that I was missing the point.
David Platt
This is the reality about humanity. We are each born with an evil, God-hating heart. Genesis 8: 21 says that every inclination of man's heart is evil from childhood, and Jesus' words in Luke 11: 13 assume that we know we are evil.
David Platt
Being a member of a church means realizing that we are responsible for helping the brothers and sisters around us to grow as disciples of Jesus. In the same way, they are responsible for helping us. We desperately need each other in the daily fight to follow Christ in a world that's full of sin.
David Platt
What if all it took to bring us to our knees and to ignite our affections was the Word opened and the presence of God? What if that was enough for us? What if it didn't take a great band to evoke that kind of response from us in worship? What if His presence - His Word opened - what if it was enough?
David Platt
Some people think that if they will do certain things, they will somehow earn the favor of God, but this misses the whole point of Christianity and ironically devolves into a me-centered approach.
