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
Surely the gospel evokes unconditional surrender of all that we are and all that we have to all that He is.

There is indescribable joy, deep satisfaction and an eternal purpose in dying to ourselves and living for Christ.
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.
