To be truly relevant -- to regain footing in a world that is becoming less and less religious -- we must begin following the whole Jesus and the whole Scripture the whole time. Otherwise, we die off.

Here’s to a week of needing Jesus, growing in grace, not caring diddly-squat about who gets the credit, repenting quickly, and seeking to love well. All of which will require the gospel.

Born Thy people to deliver, Born a child and yet a King, Born to reign in us forever, Now Thy gracious kingdom bring. By Thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone; By Thine all sufficient merit, Raise us to Thy glorious throne. youtu.be/fAGE1Es8IPs
