The task of the church is to make the invisible kingdom visible through faithful Christian living and witness-bearing.

Are You in Danger of Becoming Too Good?
We can never have too much humility, too much faith in Christ, too much holiness, too much spirituality of mind, too much charity, too much zeal in doing good to others. Then let us be continually forgetting the things behind, and reaching forth unto the things before (Phil. 3.13). The best of Christians in these matters is infinitely below the perfect pattern of his Lord. Whatever the world may please to say, we may be sure there is no danger of any of us becoming “too good”.
Gazing at Jesus
Consider Him. If our gaze is in the wrong place, our feet will be in the wrong place.

Every Day Is Labor Day and Is Sacred
Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.
You May Be the Only Bible Some People Ever Read
The best advertisement of Christianity is a good life. People read us a great deal more than they read the Bible.

If Jesus Is Who He Says He Is…
If Jesus is who he says he is, and if his promises are as rewarding as the Bible claims they are, then we may discover that satisfaction in our lives and success in the church are not found in what culture deems most important but in radical abandonment to Jesus.
David Platt, Radical (Colorado Springs, Co.: Multnomah Books, 2010), 3.
The Moment We Believe
In Christianity, the moment we believe, God says “This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.”

A Worthless, Cheap Christianity
A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing! A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will provide in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
“My Sheep Hear My Voice”
The “sheepishness of the sheep” in the church’s fold is [a large part of the problem.] The “wolfishness of the wolves” would be far less of a menace to our modern world if the sheep would listen to the voice of their one shepherd.
