We are all ‘prodigal sons’

The Radical Cross - A.W. Tozer

Like a prodigal son in that most moving of all stories, each one of us must come to grips with our own personal need and to decide and act as he did: “I am hungry. I will perish here. I will get up. I will go to my father. I remember his house and his provision” (see Luke 15:17-20). He said, “I will go” - so he got up and went to his father.
You must think of yourself - for God sent His son into the world to save you!

- A.W. Tozer

The gospel of Christ, not of works

From God's Word...
Colossians 1:28 (The Message)

We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less.

From God's Word...
Galatians 6:14 (The Message)

For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified in relation to the world, set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others and fitting into the little patterns that they dictate.

God is the one and only

All good things come from God…

From God's Word
James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change

No good thing comes by chance or from some other source. Satan is a liar and a killer …

From God's Word
John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.

- he offers us no good thing.

God is the only creator and the only source and sustainer of life.

From God's Word
Isaiah 45:21-22

there is no other God besides Me,
A just God and a Savior;
There is none besides Me.
“ Look to Me, and be saved,
All you ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
