The moment has come for Christians to rise up and deliver a gospel message that?s more radical than even the most controversial issues of our day.From the flap:WHAT IF . . .Ask a group of Christians what they think about poverty, sex trafficking, or the orphan crisis, and you?ll probably get a pretty quick response. But ask that same group about gay marriage or abortion, and you?ll most likely be faced with a lot of nervous hesitancy or fuzzy answers.In this day when social issues are creating clear dividing lines in society, moral and political neutrality is not an option for those who believe the gospel. It?s simply not enough to focus on only those issues that are most comfortable?and least costly?to us.But what if the main issue is not poverty or homosexuality or abortion? What if the main issue is God? What if the same God who moves us to war against sex trafficking also moves us to war against sexual immorality? What if the same gospel that compels us to combat poverty also compels us to defend marriage? What if all of these cultural hot-button issues are connected to our understanding of who God is and how he relates to everything around us?Join David Platt as he invites us to fix our gaze on the holiness, goodness, love, truth, justice, authority, and mercy of God revealed in the gospel and to live with conviction, courage, and compassion in the midst of a culture that is drifting further from the truth every day.

As a result, churches today are filled with people who believe they are Christians . . . but aren’t. We want to be disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles, our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion.Revealing a biblical picture of what it means to truly be a Christian, Follow Me explores the gravity of what we must forsake in this world, as well as the indescribable joy and deep satisfaction to be found when we live for Christ.The call to follow Jesus is not simply an invitation to pray a prayer; it’s a summons to lose your life?and to find new life in him.
