God has made a way of salvation for the lost. Not a way, but the way. And this is the good news - the gospel.
David Platt

We act, though, not under a utopian illusion that you or I or anyone or everyone together can rid this world of pain and suffering.

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
Image
We desperately need to explore how much of our understanding of the gospel is American and how much is biblical.
David Platt
Image
The Word of God and the Spirit of God are enough for the people of God to enjoy and spread the worship of God.
David Platt
Image
Our possessions can be deadly. They can be subtly deadly.
David Platt
Image
I could not help but think that somewhere along the way we had missed what was radical about our faith and replaced it with what is comfortable.
David Platt
Image
This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness
David Platt
Image
So the challenge for us is to live in such a way that we are radically dependent on and desperate for the power that only God can provide.
