The devil doesn’t need bars, porn shops, neon signs, or pentagrams. He just needs moralism without Christ; religion without repentance; churches without the gospel; spirituality without Scripture; & inspiration without salvation.

You have to drive the roots of your soul deep into the gospel, so that your thinking, your actions, & your identity are all shaped by it. The gospel must become a root that goes so deep that whatever seasons you pass through.

We are created for God, and when we are one with God, our hearts are satisfied & filled. When we rejected God, we lost that essential, life-giving, soul-satisfying relationship. We found that our souls were starving; we felt naked. We know we’re missing something. We may not even realize what it is, or how we got to this place, but we know we’re searching for something.
