Paul the apostle so powerfully preached the scandal of God’s grace that he was falsely accused of being “OK” with sin and compromise - Romans 3:8

"For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;
He is also to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and gladness are in His place."
—1 Chronicles 16: 25–27

The gospel is raw cross, 1 Corinthians 1:17. No fancy words, no clever packaging, just straight-up raw cross. -Bob Sorge

“The first sin was rebellion, idolatry, treason, and pride, all rolled into a single bite. Adam and Eve made a conscious choice to rebel against their Creator and live on their own terms. And we imitate their decision every time we choose our desires over God’s.” -Francis Chan

God limits our sphere to protect us, and then we chafe by trying to get attention beyond our sphere. God’s restrictions are our safeguard. -Bob Sorge

“I am a debtor” (Romans 1:14). The opposite of “I am a demander.”
Debtors are deeply moved at how much they owe others.
Demanders are angry about how much others owe them.
What turns pushy demanders into gracious debtors?
Just this: the dying love of Christ crucified.

The early Christians understood that when Jesus returns, He'll march through the desert to Jerusalem. This storyline was widely known by the early believers. They rarely felt the need to elaborate on this matter, because their Bible already did so in tremendous, glorious detail. -Joel Richardson

Worldlings may well be afraid, for they have an angry God above them, a guilty conscience within them, and a yawning hell beneath them; but we who rest in Jesus are saved from all these through rich mercy - Spurgeon

The fear of God is the death of every other fear; like a mighty lion, it chases all other fears before it - Spurgeon

You can’t have more of Christ without losing something. Buying gold implicitly involves the loss of something. But what you lose is rubbish, and what you gain is the universe. -Bob Sorge

The return of Jesus is not really the second coming of YHVH. It’s actually the third “coming.” First, YHVH came down on Mount Sinai. Second, He came as Jesus of Nazareth. Finally, He will come a third time in blazing and radiant glory. Maranatha! -Joel Richardson

Take inventory of your spiritual health by measuring your desires. A healthy body has a strong appetite. Are your spiritual desires strong and healthy, ruling over your fleshly lusts? -Bob Sorge

"I will tell you what radical is: a sustained lifestyle of cultivating a heart that is responsive to God. . . . It is easy to go do an event for . . . a short period of time. What you need to do is have a lifestyle that does it decade after decade. That is radical."
—Mike Bickle

Love without truth is sentimentality; it affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws.
Truth without love is harshness; it may be right but you ignore it because of it's bite. Truth and love together transforms.
-Timothy Keller

One cannot talk about human rights without the right to be human.
Every human being has intrinsic worth and a reflective splendor, because every individual has been created by God, in His image, for a unique purpose. -Ravi Zacharias

"Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want."

If you have an argument, fine. I respect your convictions.
But follow the example of Jesus who presented His arguments with, “It is written...”
Do you have a position?
Show me chapter and verse.

The first messianic prophecy:
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring a and hers; he will CRUSH YOUR HEAD and you will [merely] strike his heel.” (Genesis 3:15 NIV)
and break down all the sons of Sheth." (Numbers 24:17 ESV)
Moses said when God comes, Israel will be saved and tread on her enemies:
Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you?
A people saved by YHVH,
the shield of your help, the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies will come fawning to you,
and you'll TREAD UPON THEIR BACKS" (Dt 33:29)
Deborah also sang of God coming, and His victory over Sisera, commander of the Canaanites. She celebrated Jael, who:
"...struck Sisera;
she CRUSHED HIS HEAD;
she shattered and pierced his temple.
Between her feet
... where he sank,
there he fell—dead." (Jdg 5:26–27)
the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways". (Psalm 68:20–21 ESV)
filling them with corpses..." (Ps 110:5–6 ESV)
for their evil is great." (Joel 3:13)
Selah (Hab 3:13).
"...the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. YOU SHALL TREAD DOWN THE WICKED. They'll be ashes under your feet, on the day I act, says the LORD" (Mal 4:2–3)
"The God of peace will SOON CRUSH SATAN UNDER YOUR FEET. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." (Romans 16:20).
"he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time UNTIL HIS ENEMIES SHOULD BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET. (Heb 10:12–13).
From his mouth comes a sharp sword to STRIKE DOWN THE NATIONS, and he'll rule them with a rod of iron. He will TREAD THE WINEPRESS OF THE FURY OF THE WRATH OF GOD Almighty. (Rev 19:15–16)
From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus is repeatedly and consistently identified as the One who is COMING to CRUSH His enemies. Jesus is both the Coming One and the Crushing One. Maranatha. -Joel Richardson
