A materialistic world will not be won to Christ by a materialistic church.
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.
God actually delights in exalting our inability. He intentionally puts his people in situations where they come face to face with their need for him.
Why make disciples? Because heaven and hell exist, and the end of the world is coming.
May even the concept of unreached peoples be totally intolerable to us.
There is indescribable joy, deep satisfaction and an eternal purpose in dying to ourselves and living for Christ.
In every genre of biblical literature and every stage of biblical history, God is seen pouring out his grace on his people for the sake of his glory among all peoples.
Instead of trying to conquer sin by working hard to change our actions, we can conquer sin by trusting Christ to change our affections.
Jesus came to live the life we could not live and to die the death we deserve to die.

The Word of God and the Spirit of God are enough for the people of God to enjoy and spread the worship of God.
Jesus is not some puny religious teacher begging for an invitation from anyone. He is the all-sovereign Lord who deserves submission from everyone.
To be a disciple of Jesus is to make disciples of Jesus.
Gospel possession requires gospel proclamation.
