David Platt
Image
If our lives do not reflect radical compassion for the poor, there is reason to wonder if Christ is really in us at all
David Platt

David Platt
Image
We act, though, not under a utopian illusion that you or I or anyone or everyone together can rid this world of pain and suffering. That responsibility belongs to the resurrected Christ, and he will do it when he returns. But until that day, we do with an undivided heart whatever God calls us to do.

David Platt
Image
May even the concept of unreached peoples be totally intolerable to us.
David Platt
Image
Forgiveness is God's greatest gift because it meets our greatest need.
David Platt
Image
Do we believe the reward found in Jesus is worth the risk of following Him?
David Platt

Christianity does not start with an invitation we offer to Jesus, but with an invitation Jesus offers to us.
David Platt
Image
We don't have stomachs for the things of this world because we have feasted on the goodness of our God.
David Platt
Image
Being a member of a church means realizing that we are responsible for helping the brothers and sisters around us to grow as disciples of Jesus. In the same way, they are responsible for helping us. We desperately need each other in the daily fight to follow Christ in a world that's full of sin.
David Platt
Image
It is impossible to be a follower of Christ while denying, disregarding, discrediting, and disbelieving the words of Christ.
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.
