Our great need is to fall before an almighty Father day and night and to plead for him to show his radical power in and through us, enabling us to accomplish for his glory what we could never imagine in our own strength.
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

To be a Christian is to be loved by God, pursued by God, and found by God.
David Platt
Image
God actually delights in exalting our inability. He intentionally puts his people in situations where they come face to face with their need for him.

We do not have time to waste our lives coasting out casual, comfortable Christianity.

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.

This is the gospel. The just and loving Creator of the universe has looked upon hopelessly sinful people and sent His Son, God in the flesh, to bear His wrath against sin on the cross and to show His power over sin in the resurrection so that all who trust in Him will be reconciled to God forever.

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.

If you can trust God to save you for eternity, you can trust him to lead you for a lifetime.

The bible informs us, compels us to care for the poor, to love the outcast, to serve the needy.
David Platt
Image
If we want to know the Glory of God, if we want to experience the beauty of God, and if we want to be used by the hand of God, then we must LIVE in the WORD of God.
David Platt
Image
This is the curse of superficial religion: the constant attempt to do outward things apart from inward transformation.
David Platt
Image
Jesus is no longer one to be accepted or invited in but one who is infinitely worthy of our immediate and total surrender.
David Platt
Image
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. That responsibility belongs to the resurrected Christ, and he will do it when he returns. But until that day, we do with an undivided heart whatever God calls us to do.

To everyone wanting a safe, untroubled, comfortable life free from danger, stay away from Jesus. The danger in our lives will always increase in proportion to the depth of our relationship with Christ.
David Platt

We owe Christ to the world--to the least person and to the greatest person, to the richest person and to the poorest person, to the best person and to the worst person. We are in debt to the nations.
