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
Image
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
Image
Unreached peoples are unreached for a reason. They're hard, difficult, and dangerous to reach. All the easy ones are taken
David Platt
Image
We assume that our race simply deserves heaven that God owes heaven to us unless we do something really bad to warrant otherwise.
David Platt
Image
Jesus came to live the life we could not live and to die the death we deserve to die.

Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.
David Platt
Image
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.
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
While the goal of the American dream is to make much of us, the goal of the gospel is to make much of God.
David Platt
Image
The call of Christ is to deny ourselves and to let go of our lives. To relinquish control of our lives, to surrender everything we are, everything that we do, our direction our safety our security is no longer found in the things of this world. It is found in Christ. And that is great risk when it comes to the things of this world.
David Platt
Image
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
Image
Everything in all creation responds in obedience to the Creator... until we get to you and me. We have the audacity to look God in the face and say, No.
David Platt
Image
Ultimate satisfaction is found not in making much of ourselves but in making much of God
David Platt
Image
Passionate worship always leads to personal witness. Always. And what that means is . . . if we’re not witnessing, there’s a problem with our worship. We’re not seeing God for who He is! We’re not realizing what He’s done! We’re not realizing the magnitude of what He’s done for our souls!

We do not have time to waste our lives coasting out casual, comfortable Christianity.
David Platt
Image
God in His providence hasn't called us to watch history, but to shape history by praying in His Name.

Image
Caring for the poor is one natural overflow and a necessary evidence of the presence of Christ in our hearts. If there is no sign of caring for the poor in our lives, then there is reason to at least question whether Christ is in our hearts.
David Platt
Image
God involves us in his missions not because He needs us, but because He loves us. And in His mercy He has invited us to be involved in His sovereign design for the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth.

David has scored 62 goals in 148 games for Ipswich and those statistics tell me that he plays games and scores goals. (on David Johnson)

We can rest confident in the fact that nothing will happen to us in this world apart from the gracious will of a sovereign God. Nothing.
