Prosperity Cannot Be A Proof

So The Main Question Is Not, Which Humans Brought About The Death Of Jesus But, What Did The Death Of Jesus Bring About For Humans - Including Jews And Muslims And Buddhists And Hindus And Nonreligious Secularists - And All People Everywhere?when It Is All Said And Done, The Most Crucial Question Is: Why? Why Did Christ Suffer And Die? Not Why In The Sense Of Cause, But Why In The Sense Of Purpose?

Life Is Wasted If We Do Not Grasp The Glory Of The Cross, Cherish It For The Treasure That It Is, And Cleave To It As The Highest Price Of Every Pleasure And The Deepest Comfort In Every Pain. What Was Once Foolishness To Us—a Crucified God—must Become Our Wisdom And Our Power And Our Only Boast In This World.

God Is Infinitely Valuable. I Can't Think Of Anything That Would Have A Greater Impact On Your Life Than For You To Believe That.

Why Don't People Ask Us About Our Hope? The Answer Is Probably That We Look As If We Hope In The Same Things They Do. Our Lives Don't Look Like They Are On The Calvary Road, Stripped Down For Sacrificial Love, Serving Others With The Sweet Assurance That We Don't Need To Be Rewarded In This Life.

Don't Wait For A Feeling Or Love In Order To Share Christ With A Stranger. You Already Love Your Heavenly Father, And You Know That This Stranger Is Created By Him, But Separated From Him... So Take Those First Steps In Evangelism Because You Love God. It Is Not Primarily Out Of Compassion For Humanity That We Share Our Faith Or Pray For The Lost; It Is First Of All, Love For God.
