Going All In: One Decision Can Change Everything

The Gospel costs nothing, but it demands everything. It's all or nothing ... This powerful booklet, excerpted from All In tells us that the Gospel costs nothing, but demands everything.  If Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all. It's all or nothing. It's now or never.   It's time to ante up and go all in with God. No one has ever sacrificed anything for God.  If you always get back more than you gave up, have you sacrificed anything at all?  The eternal reward always outweighs the temporal sacrifice.  At the end of the day, our greatest regret will be whatever we didn't give back to God. What we didn't push back across the table to Him.  Eternity will reveal that holding out is losing out. Batterson writes, "For many years, I thought I was following Jesus.  I wasn't.  I had invited Jesus to follow me.  I call it inverted Christianity.  And it's a subtle form of selfishness that masquerades as spirituality.  That's when I sold out and bought in.  When did we start believing that the gospel is an insurance plan?  It's a daring plan.  Jesus did not die just to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous."… (more)
