“Radically ordinary hospitality is this: using your Christian home in a daily way that seeks to make strangers neighbors, and neighbors family of God.”

“Cheap grace means grace sold on the market like cheapjacks' wares. The sacraments, the forgiveness of sin, and the consolations of religion are thrown away at cut prices. Grace is represented as the Church's inexhaustible treasury, from which she showers blessings with generous hands, without asking questions or fixing limits. Grace without price; grace without cost! The essence of grace, we suppose, is that the account has been paid in advance; and, because it has been paid, everything can be had for nothing. Since the cost was infinite, the possibilities of using and spending it are infinite. What would grace be if it were not cheap?...

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the field; for the sake of it a man will go and sell all that he has. It is the pearl of great price to buy which the merchant will sell all his goods. It is the kingly rule of Christ, for whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble; it is the call of Jesus Christ at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows him.

Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock.

Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner. Above all, it is costly because it cost God the life of his Son: ‘ye were bought at a price,’ and what has cost God much cannot be cheap for us. Above all, it is grace because God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us. Costly grace is the Incarnation of God.”

“God caters to hearty appetites. In the Old Testament, he invited repeatedly:

—‘Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!’ (Isa. 55:1)
—‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.’ (Ps. 81:10)
—‘If my people would only listen to me… you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.’ (Ps. 81:13–16)

And those who sat at his table declared:

—‘When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight.’ (Jer. 15:16)
—‘How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!’ (Ps. 119:103)
—‘Taste and see that the Lord is good’ (Ps. 34:8)

Feeding on his words turned out to be a feast and a delight. God had not called them to the crust and the crumb.

And he doesn’t today.

‘Here I am!’ Jesus says. ‘I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me’ (Rev. 3:20). By the Holy Spirit who enters us at salvation, this promise is reality, not just metaphor.

Ours is the invitation to intimate deep-feasting on the written Word in the company of the Living Word. Ours is the promise of soul-banqueting, as the Holy Spirit takes the things of Christ and makes them known to us (John 14:26).”

“When Jesus finished the work the Father had given him to do, the Lord instructed his apostles to go and make him known to every people group that covered the face of the earth. As co-laborers with Christ in this work, we step into an unfinished task, led, empowered, and comforted by the Holy Spirit. We reach out to others in faith, carrying a promise that Jesus will be with us until the end. With his power and promise, we can walk obediently into the work of evangelism with humility, respect, and intention, knowing that God will do far more than we can ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20).”

—Jennifer Harris (from Issue 15 article “Facing a Task Unfinished”)

For many of us, life in 2021 looks so different than it did one or two years ago. Looking for opportunities to evangelize may be the last thing on our minds with social distancing and other varying state restrictions in place. We understand the desire to protect yourself and others, and yet, the Great Commission is not bound by earthly law. It is still our responsibility as Believers to go and tell others. In a time of real fear, this is the perfect opportunity to share lasting hope.

Later in Jennifer’s article she says:

“Believers have used many methods to give a clear Gospel presentation, and each has its place.
God uses different means to bring the Gospel to people across the globe. However, it is the
power of Scripture—and not a particular method—that brings true repentance. Whatever form of
Gospel presentation we share with unbelievers, God desires for us to be compassionate, inten-
tional, and thoughtful.”

We want to know:

—What are some creative ways you’ve been able to share the Gospel with another over the course of this last year?
—Has it been in person? Online?
—Do you have any celebrations to share?

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. —Proverbs 3:5-6

//

“God does not want us to be miserable, even in this fallen, futility-infected evil age. He wants to relieve our anxiety (Luke 12:11–12; Philippians 4:6–7), fear (Psalm 118:6; 1 Peter 3:6), doubt (Matthew 21:21; Luke 24:38), and sinful anger (Ephesians 4:31). And so, he gives us Proverbs 3:5–6 as a priceless gift.

In exercising faith — trusting fully in the Lord and not leaning on our own understanding — we’re not setting aside our intellect. We’re resting our intellect upon the intellect of God. Nothing is wiser or saner. To do so is to allow him to direct our paths, which not only lead to ultimate joy, but also make the journey itself, even when laden with sorrow, joyful (2 Corinthians 6:10). And it preserves for us all the pleasures God provides us in the world. To not do this is the height of foolishness and the path to misery.” —John Piper
