Point 1: in an era of individualism we need salvation
Point 2: In an era of position we need purpose
Quote:
Here is the very essence of the Christian faith. A really good man does not regard his goodness as entitling him to special honor; his one desire will be to have more and more work to do, for his work will be his greatest privilege. If he is good, the last thing he will do will be to seek to stand aloof from his fellow-men. He will rather seek to be among them, at their worst, serving God by serving them. His glory will not be in exemption from service; it will be in still more demanding service. No Christian should ever think of fitting himself for honor but always as fitting himself for service. - William Barclay
Point 3: In an era of compromise we need consecration
CLEANSING + SACRIFICE + DEVOTION = CONSECRATION - Jon Tyson
