Impatient Evangelistic Shortcuts
Sometimes we lead people to Christ, feel good about ourselves and then back away and never talk to them again, effectively turning them into a project. But as Bill Johnson says, “Who wants to be the project of some religious zealot so he can feel good about his devotion to God? No one wants to…

Jesus as the Fullest Revelation of God
Last night I preached a message that got unnecessarily complicated—in fact, I think it was probably the most scatter-brained message I’ve ever preached.
