Platt: 3 Reasons We Must Go to the Unreached with Urgency
“Let’s apply these truths to the unreached.” “There are 6,000 plus people groups with little or no access to the gospel. Over 2.5 billion people. Why must we give our lives, losing them if necessary, to spreading this gospel? Why must we go to them with urgency?” 3 reasons: 1. The knowledge of God in […]
Platt on God's Remedy for Sin
A summary of Platt on God’s remedy for our sin: How can a holy God look at a guilty sinner and say: “Innocent”? We rightly expect God to justify the innocent and condemn the guilty. And none are innocent. So how can God call the guilty innocent? Jesus’ death is the payment for sin. All […]
David Platt on Total Depravity
“Everything in all of creation responds to God, until you get to man and we have the audacity to look him in the face and say ‘no.’ From this sin, we see lostness all over this book (Isaiah). What does it mean to be lost? It means to be cut off from God. To live […]
Louie Giglio's Mashup of Stars Singing "How Great is Our God"
Louie Giglio brought in some amazing illustrations from astronomy to illustrate the supremacy of God. Apparently, the electromagnetic radiation that quasars emit translates into sound. “Stars don’t just shine; they also sing.” So he put some quasars up on the screen and then the sound their signals reduce to. Then he did this for some […]
"God is Bigger Than We Think He Is"
Louie Giglio: There is a ripple effect of the gospel that is undeniable. It doesn’t lead us to just contemplate what happened to us, but proclaim what Christ has done. God is bigger than we think he is. I don’t know how big you think he is, but he’s still bigger than that. God is […]
Louie Giglio: Why We Exist
“This world is messed up to an amazing magnitude. But in the midst of this there is a God, who is great beyond our wildest imagination. “And he has linked arms with us and given us marching orders if you will, and we are not at our leisure tonight. We are here under the mandate […]
4 Types of Mercy
All seen in the parable of the Good Samaritan: Advocacy Assistance Finances Spiritual Here’s the interesting thing: When we think of showing mercy and serving others, we don’t often think of advocacy. But it is often a critical, and simple, form of mercy. Just advocating for the person — taking up their cause, defending them, […]
A List of Resources and Strategies for Finishing the Great Commission
Last April I was part of the Lausanne Orlando 2011 Leadership Consultation, a follow-up to the Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization last fall. The leaders of the consultation have recently compiled and synthesized the notes from the discussions and made them available in a pdf. The document is divided into four sections: Best available resources […]
Can the World Still Feed Itself?
Stated that way, it sounds like it’s a set-up to say “no, we need less people on the planet,” and so forth. I don’t think that way, and only gave the post that title because it’s the title of a very interesting article in the Wall Street Journal. And, the answer of the article is: […]
