The more Christ fulfills the cravings of our souls, the more he changes our taste capacities from the inside out. The more we walk with him, the more we want him. The more we taste of him, the more we enjoy him. And this transforms how we live and what we live for.

If we are going to accomplish the global purpose of God, it will not be primarily through giving our money, as important as that is. It will happen primarily through giving ourselvs. This is what the gospel represents and this is what the gospel requires.

This is the curse of superficial religion: the constant attempt to do outward things apart from inward transformation.
David Platt

We can so easily deceive ourselves, mistaking the presence of physical bodies in a crowd for the existence of spiritual life in a community.
David Platt
Image
We are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.

In direct contradiciton to the American dream, God actually delights in exalting our inability.
David Platt

While the goal of the American dream is to make much of us, the goal of the gospel is to make much of God.
