Satan's strategies to stop the church will ultimately serve to spread the church. And Satan's strategies to inflict earthly pain in your life will ultimately serve to increase eternal glory with your God 'Light momentary affliction.'

God has clearly called and gifted some people in the church to teach his Word formally.

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.

This extremely shocking and utterly revolutionary call is the essence of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus: we are not called to simply believe certain points or observe certain practices, but ultimately to cling to the person of Christ as life itself.

This is the gospel. The just and loving Creator of the universe has looked upon hopelessly sinful people and sent His Son, God in the flesh, to bear His wrath against sin on the cross and to show His power over sin in the resurrection so that all who trust in Him will be reconciled to God forever.

Radical obedience to Christ is not easy... It's not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough for us.

When we realize we have the responsibility to teach the word, it changes everything about how we hear the Word.
David Platt

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

Good intentions, regular worship, Bible study, do not prevent blindness. Part of our sinful nature instinctively chooses to see what we want to see and to ignore what we want to ignore.
David Platt
Image
As I looked at material and spiritual poverty in the world around me, including approximately 2 billion people who haven't even heard the gospel, I knew that I needed to make some major changes in my life.

The Bible clearly reminds us that left to ourselves, we would be lost forever.

We do not have time to waste our lives coasting out casual, comfortable Christianity.
David Platt

Christianity does not start with an invitation we offer to Jesus, but with an invitation Jesus offers to us.

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.

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.

We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us.
