We are all called by God to live out the purpose for which He put us on earth. For there to be a movement there must be movers.

We cannot say to God “I will follow IF” or “I give all EXCEPT”. We are facing controversy: staying faithful to the finish outweighs our comfort.

To wholeheartedly follow Jesus is to give him everything: whatever comes next: however it ends. Conviction is key to finishing well.

The message is “truth in love”: not “Come and be blessed” nor “Turn or burn” but the need to repent: the foundation of the community in Acts.

The disciples had to process the Judas rift before moving on to change the world. Rifts diminish us. God will add capacity if we embrace His substitute.
