God's Heart for the World

"God's heart is for the world. So when we say we have a heart for the United States, we are admitting that we have a meager 5 percent of God's heart, and we are proud of it. When we say we have a heart for the city we live in, we confess that we have less than 1 percent of God's heart."

You Can Impact the World

"It sounds idealistic, I know. Impact the world. But doesn't it also sound biblical? ... The formal definition of impact is "a forcible contact between two things," and God has designed our lives for a collision course with the world."
