Following Christ demands from us a radical transformation that we are incapable of achieving through our own efforts and resolve.
God desires and has made provision for us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. But do we want to be?
We are often eager to get in on Jesus' victories, but slow to join him in his sufferings.
Jesus instructs us to pray in this way regarding His Father’s harvest field of souls: "Help us see, Lord." "Help us feel, Lord." "Kick us out, Lord."
The kingdom of God is not merely an add-on to our life; it is God's offer of life itself.
