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.
David Platt

Image
Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God
David Platt

Image
Do you realize the weight of the one who has invited us to follow him? He is worthy of more than church attendance and casual association he is worthy of total abandonment and supreme adoration.
David Platt
Image
To be a Christian is to realize that in your sin, you were separated from God's presence, and you deserved nothing but God's wrath.
