DVD 6

If I'm stuck, there's something I must unload.

If God has called me into this valley, the strength will be there.

The broken road led me to Jesus.

David Platt, Radical

"We are afraid that if we stop and really look at God in His Word, we might discover that He evokes greater awe and demands deeper worship than we are ready to give Him" (29).

No comforts, no bells and whistles, "Nothing but the people of God and the Word of God. And strangely, that's enough....But is His Word enough for us?" (26)

"... people are spiritually dead,... and only words from God can bring them to spiritual life" (30). "We don't like what we see of ourselves in the gospel, so we shrink back from it" (31).

"God doesn't wait for people to find their way [up the mountain] to Him.... He comes to us..." (35).

"Our attempts to reduce this Gospel to a shrink-wrapped presentation that persuades someone to say or pray the right things... no longer seems appropriate" (37).
