Because the Gospel in and of itself, is the message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, the message that Jesus died for the third day, and that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus's finished work and His resurrection. This is the essence of the message that we've been entrusted with.”

“It's not just that people are ignorant about the role of the Jewish people, they're ignorant of the Bible, because the Bible basically is the Jewish people, and so if they don't read it as a history book and as a book with specific promises to the Jewish people, they're reading it as just a devotional.”
"And that's what I believe the church in the West needs to grapple with: our lack of heart, our indifference, and our lack of concern.
