This brief quote from David Platt is worth more than a moment of thought.
If Jesus is who he says he is, and if his promises are as rewarding as the Bible claims they are, then we may discover that satisfaction in our lives and success in the church are not found in what culture deems most important but in radical abandonment to Jesus.
David Platt, Radical (Colorado Springs, Co.: Multnomah Books, 2010), 3.
