“Why make disciples? Because heaven and hell exist, and the end of the world is coming.”

“Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.”

“Every saved person this side of heaven owes the gospel to every lost person this side of hell.”

“I can almost picture the disciples faces. "No, not the drink-my-blood speech! We'll never get on the list of fastest-growing movements if you keep asking them to eat you!”

“We assume that our race simply deserves heaven, that God owes heaven to us unless we do something really bad to warrant otherwise.”

“Radical obedience to Christ is not easy... It's not comfort, not health, not wealth, and not prosperity in this world. Radical obedience to Christ risks losing all these things. But in the end, such risk finds its reward in Christ. And he is more than enough for us.”

“If we conclude that people can get to heaven apart from faith in Christ, then this would mean there is something else they can do to get to heaven. Such a conclusion would not only undercut the proven truth we saw in Romans; it would also be tantamount to saying to Jesus, "Thank you for what you did on the cross, but we could have gotten to God another way.”
