heaven sides hell
Every saved person this side of heaven owes the gospel to every lost person this side of hell.
mean soul passionate
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!
jesus reflection church
The gospel does not prompt you to mere reflection; the gospel requires a response. In the process of hearing Jesus, you are compelled to take an honest look at your life, your family, and your church and not just ask, 'What is he saying?' but also ask, 'What shall I do?'
people serious sin
People will never know how glorious the cross is until they know how serious sin is.

When you come to Jesus, you don't come to get health, wealth and prosperity. You come to Jesus to get Jesus
son wrath people
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.

Meanwhile, the biblical gospel says, 'You are an enemy of God, dead in your sin, & in your present state of rebellion, you are not even able to see that you need life, much less to cause yourself to come to life. Therefore, you are radically dependent on God to do something in your life that you could never do.
greatness people way
This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness
christian powerful inspiration
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.
messages christianity settling
We are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.
accounts amount cash condemn earn frame involved miss nightmare parting players start talked therefore time wallet
But accounts are a nightmare because you are not parting with the cash out of your wallet and therefore you don't miss it immediately. The amounts being talked about are hellish ones but then players earn a hellish amount of money. But before we all start to condemn the players, we must also take account of the time frame involved as well.
