The Church should be attractive. But we have to ask, “Why is it attractive? And to whom is it

attractive?” —Russell Berger

Quote:

• “Attractional church”: Those churches that seek to make worship, and participation in the church attractive to the unconverted heart

The real Jesus comes and says, ‘I don't want to give you the desires of your heart. I want to reorient the

desires of your heart.’ —Sean Demars

Quote:

It’s idolatry when we elevate the GIFT

above the GIVER.

When I met Jesus Christ I found Something that wouldn’t end.

—Sanj Kalra

It's God Himself. God is both the Giver and the Gift.

One of the quickest ways to spot a counterfeit gospel is to ask the

question: Who is this Gospel about?

—Trevin Wax

Quotes:

True Christian service is supposed to be in reaction to what God has done

for us. —David W. Jones

In terms of Biblical Christianity; Christianity is about dying.

—Dr. Michael Horton

God’s the great “I AM.” We’re the great “I’m nots.”

—David W Jones

Gnosticism:

"secret knowledge”

The very first temptation that led to the very first sin was this desire to be

just like God. —Justin Peters

Deity:3 Persons & 3 Beings

1 in Being & 3 in Person

If we get the deity of Christ wrong we get the GOSPEL wrong!

--Costi Hinn

Quotes:

He is the one Mediator between God and men and in order for Him to

serve in that role He has to be fully man and fully God.

—Phil Johnson

"Evangelism by blessing"

“Repentance & Faith”

“God loves you, He accepts you. Here's some

free stuff.”

God’s goodness DOES lead us to repentance. But sometimes God’s

goodness doesn't look like what we think it looks like. Sometimes God’s goodness is telling us how bad we

really are. —Sean Demars

Quotes:

To withhold the bad news is to share half the Gospel. To share half the

Gospel is to not share the full Gospel! —Anthony Wood

We never want to withhold any portion of the Gospel from people thinking that somehow we can trick

them, or fool them into the kingdom of God.

—Anthony Wood

For Muslims the Gospel is often literally a call to die. The cost of

accepting the Gospel could be your family! But it's worth it!

—Nabeel Qureshi

The Gospel is the only thing that has power to save. If we get the Gospel wrong, we get Christianity wrong!

—Nate Pcikowicz

It is impossible for Christians to be formed into the image of Christ

without undergoing some kind of suffering.

—Trevin Wax

Perhaps the best way to understand God's sovereignty over evil is to look

at the cross…He planned it. He decreed it….

He’s not responsible for the evil. He gets the credit for the goodness and glory that came out of that evil

act. —Phil Johnson

Why does God let bad things happen to good

people?

The truth is, that only happened once…

and that was Christ.

The greatest evil that ever occurred was used by God to bring about the

greatest good… —Phil Johnson

Maybe the bottom line is this:

Is Christianity Jesus plus?

But if Christianity is just Jesus then we need to learn to be content in every

circumstance.

Because the Gospel is not Jesus plus anything.

The Gospel is just plain

JESUS. —David W. Jones

—Costi Hinn
