Why make disciples? Because heaven and hell exist, and the end of the world is coming.
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
The most glorious reason you exist is for the proclamation of the glory of God to the ends of the world. And it's more than having a nice life.
David Platt

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.

What if all it took to bring us to our knees and to ignite our affections was the Word opened and the presence of God? What if that was enough for us? What if it didn't take a great band to evoke that kind of response from us in worship? What if His presence - His Word opened - what if it was enough?

We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us.
David Platt
Image
A high view of God’s sovereignty fuels death-defying devotion to global missions. Maybe another way to put it, people, and more specifically pastors, who believe that God’s sovereign over all things will lead Christians to die for the sake of all peoples.
David Platt
Image
And this is why Jesus came: to endure the holy wrath of God due us.
David Platt
Image
Privatized faith in a resurrected Christ is practically inconceivable.
David Platt
Image
We have the audacity to look God in the face and say, 'No.'
David Platt
Image
The price of our non-discipleshi p is high for those without Christ.
David Platt
Image
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
When we realize we have the responsibility to teach the word, it changes everything about how we hear the Word.
David Platt
Image
The bible informs us, compels us to care for the poor, to love the outcast, to serve the needy.
David Platt
