Have you read the book 'Radical' by David Platt?? If you haven't then you should.
Here's a quote I ran into today while reading Radical for a book study tonight.
"Why would we ever want to settle for Christianity according to OUR ability or settle for church according to OUR resources? The power of the One who raised Jesus from the dead is living in us and as a result we have no need to muster up our own might." -David Platt in 'Radical'
