Jesus did so much more than die for my sins. If my understanding of the Gospel stops there, I am missing the point of why Jesus came. He didn’t give His life so I could fulfill my dreams, become a more moral person or live unaffectedly. The cross is a lightning rod of choice…a choice of living or dying…it cries out: ‘come die that you might live.’ - Pastor Monty

“Truth cannot be sacrificed at the altar of pretended tolerance…Real tolerance,

is deference for all ideas, not indifference to the truth.” - Ravi Zacharias

No one sets out to become an apostate, it's never the result of one abrupt, drastic turn away from the Lord. Instead, apostasy is most often the product of a pattern of sinful compromises that harden and gradually steer a professing believer away from the truth.

 —John Macarthur 

Yeshua (Jesus) is holding His church, walking in the midst of His church, and speaking truth and grace to His church so that we (His church) might reflect His beauty, presence, and glory through lives of compassionate love.

The church is called and empowered to be incarnational in our culture. That means we are to be portals through which Jesus continues to live His life. When Christ lives His life in us as us, the context of all our mission is love, just as Christ is love.
