The Call to Go All In - Mikado Hinson

Well, I didn't grow up going to church. And many of you may be like me. Many of you maybe were dragged to church every single Sunday or every time the church doors opened. But I never went to church growing up. Was raised in a beautiful home. An amazing mom and dad who taught my brother and I and provided for us and just great moral principles and things like that. But crossing the threshold into a church was not high priority on our list. But I remember being invited one time by a friend to a church function. I was probably early teens, maybe even just before that, 10, 11, 12 years old. And I said yes to attend a church lock-in. Anyone ever been to a lock-in before? Right? Eating pizza all night, shooting hooves, giggling, laughing, having fun. But then there's usually a time where they call everyone to order, right? And there's a little worship time and you break up into your small groups and things like that. Well, I remember breaking up into that small group with my buddy and a few other people we knew from school. And they're reading through a Bible story. And they asked, did anyone want to read out loud? Well, me, I prided myself,

even before that my voice had changed, and I prided myself on my oratorical skills. So I raised my hand and said, I'll read. Okay, young man, go ahead and read. So I start reading and I get to the word disciple. And I remember this many years later, as it has been seared in my brain, that I said discipline and not disciple. And I remember how everybody in that circle laughed at me. I remember what I felt when I said discipline and I should have said disciple and everyone started laughing at me. And I hung my head in shame. They weren't laughing with me because I wasn't laughing. They were laughing at me and it caused me to shut down, hence why I never went to church. But I also knew a few years later, as I sat by Dawn White in middle school and high school, that there was something different about this young lady. And she not only was a light bearer for Christ, she demonstrated that by her everyday actions. And there was something different about her, but every time she'd invite me to church, I'd say no. But Dawn White became a great friend. There was something amazingly different about her. I've come to find out that she was a Christ follower. And not only did she follow Jesus, she followed him in a genuine and authentic way. And how did I know that? She loved me right where I was.

She didn't judge me, nothing of that nature. She literally oozed the love of Christ. And then found out that they found a lump in her throat, ended up being Hodgkin's lymphoma. The tumor was removed, chemo, radiation. Cancer goes into remission, but her immune system is depleted and shot. So the next bug that comes through, she catches. Dawn White gets pneumonia. Our senior year of high school, Jesus takes her home to be with him. But if someone were to ask me, Mikado, who is a Christian that you know? It didn't take me long to say Dawn White was the genuine, authentic Christ follower that I knew. She never saw me come to Christ. You know when that happened? December of 1993, my freshman year of college, nearly 33 years ago, I received Jesus Christ as my savior because I saw someone who lived it out every single day. Someone who lived as a disciplined disciple of Jesus Christ, how about that? Dawn White lived that life. And then Jesus took her home. But I received that free gift my freshman year of college. I realized there was something missing in my life. There was a void in my life that I was trying to fill with everything.

But it was a void that only Jesus could fill, that he was meant to fill. And all those things that I tried to fill it with left gaps and left me empty and left me desiring more and wanting more. Maybe that's you today. You've tried filling your life with everything. And might I encourage you as your big uncle today that there is a void in your life that only Jesus Christ can fill. And 33 years ago, I was fortunate to be able to receive that free gift. But it all came to a test. Everyone say test. So a few weeks after I gave my life to Christ, I met my friend Valdir's house. There was a group of us that ran together. We called ourselves the crew. We thought we were the crew. coolest thing since anything. We thought we were the crew. We took out a two-page thing in our yearbook that year, We thought we were the crew. We thought we were the crew. We thought we were the crew. and we took a picture on a dried waterfall, and we're all standing like this. I'm telling you, it's boy band stuff. It looked crazy. But the crew used to go to Valdez,

and we would hang out, play foosball, pool. He had all the games. And I remember playing this golf game on the computer back in 1993, 94-ish. I had just given my life to Christ. And I remember in this golf game, I spray a ball into the woods. And it was horrible. But not as horrible as the words that proceeded out of my mouth after I hit that shot. And I remember saying every cuss word that you could probably say. And I remember my friend, Chris, looking at me and said, Mikado, I thought you became a Christian. Because I was carrying that real stiff, plastic baptism Bible that they gave me everywhere I went. Man, I was proud of that Bible, and I was proud of that decision I made. But I sprayed that ball into the woods, and those words come spraying out of my mouth. And I remember, I thought you became a Christian. I said, I did. He said, nothing about you changed. And I tried to justify. I tried to say, man, it's just a game. I tried all of those things. And you know what I finally said? You're right. You're absolutely right, bro.

You know what else I said? But keep watching. Keep watching. Because there's gonna be something that develops, something that grows on the inside of me. I am going to surrender my life. I didn't say this to him. He didn't understand it. I didn't say it because I didn't know how to communicate it at the time. But I knew that I was going to surrender my life to Christ. I knew that I was gonna be a fruit-bearing believer. I knew that I was gonna be a disciple living for Jesus Christ. And I was gonna be a light, not only to my friends, but hopefully to the lost and dying world, amen? But that night, he called me out. And you know what that taught me? One out of 100 people will read their Bibles. The other 99 are reading you. And when we sign it up, when we sign up, when we wear the colors of the cross, when we sign up for Team Jesus, we now open invitation for our lives to be critiqued and dissected by the lost. The people are gonna watch our lives and they're not gonna watch our lives and say, that is so attractive about you. They're gonna watch our lives to see when we trip and fall.

And oftentimes, it's not about the trip and fall, but it's about how we respond and how we get up. A disciple will trip, will fall, but a disciple chooses to get up, amen? And so at the end of the day, we are called, it says in Luke 9, 23, it says in the Matthew 28, the Great Commission, that we are, he said, go and make disciples. What is a disciple? It's an obedient, committed follower of a master, someone who surrendered and submitted their life to someone who is Lord or leading them in their life, and they submit to the way that they call you to live. We are to be disciples of Jesus Christ. And how do we do that? I'm glad you asked. Let's unpack the word just a little bit. So when I received Christ as a freshman in college, I realized something, that receiving that free gift was a free gift. It was a free gift that I received. That God demonstrated his love towards me, Romans 5, 8. That while I was a sinner, Christ died for me. And I received that free gift, Romans 10, 9, and 10. I confessed with my mouth that Jesus was Lord. I believed in my heart that God raised him from the dead. And when I did that, by faith, I received Christ, and I was now saved. Salvation is free. It costs Jesus his life,

but we receive that gift for free. But to be a disciple is gonna cost you. To fully surrender to him is gonna cost you. We're gonna have to lay some things aside. You may lose some relationships. The same people that you used to run with, the places you may used to frequent, the music you listened to, the crowd that you associated with, some of those things, if you wanna live as an obedient, committed follower, as a disciple, a surrendered life, an all-in life for Jesus, there's a good chance that some of those things are gonna have to be let go of. But the beautiful thing about God is oftentimes when he trims things off of us, it's called pruning, John 15, it's for more growth. So as he removes people, be on the lookout, he's gonna send the right ones your way. As he removes you from a job, trust and believe, I've been there, he's gonna provide you with an even better job opportunity. But you have to trust, you have to believe, you have to surrender and go all-in for Jesus Christ. So salvation is free, but following Jesus, there's a cost to it. And you know what? It's non-negotiable. It doesn't go on sale. You're not gonna catch following Jesus on the clearance rack.

Here's the question you have to answer and I do too. Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to pay the price of what it takes to be an all-in, surrendered, committed disciple of Jesus Christ? Jesus told us to go and make disciples. How are we gonna make disciples if we're not a disciple? It's gonna cost you something. But let me tell you, it costs, but it is worth it. It is so worth it. I would rather have Jesus than the old Kirk Franklin song. I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold. I knew someone would finish it for me. This isn't in the notes, but I'm just telling you, I'd rather have him more than riches untold, anything else. There's nothing worth more than that personal, intimate relationship. This is not a list of do's and don'ts. It's not just religious activity. It is a personal, intimate relationship that God offers you and he offers me through his son, Jesus Christ. And we say yes to that and we go all in for that and we surrender to that and we grow as a disciple in that. Listen, it's like walking through the wardrobe in Narnia. What's on the other side is so beautiful. It is so amazing, but you have to be willing to do those things in order to experience him in his fullest. Here's a big idea, sermon in a sentence, call it what you want.

God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. He wants you to be just like Jesus. God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. So if you're writing down notes and you want a title, I'm not into all of that, but you could write down, this is the call to go all in, the call to go all in. In this passage, Jesus was keenly aware of who was following safely behind him and just wanted the benefits and maybe the blessings that he gave, but he also knew that the fewer of those who were willing to go all in for him. Everywhere Jesus went, crowds gathered. And if you notice something as you read through the Gospels, as the crowds gathered, always look at the people who he sat with. He sat with disciples, but he would be in the midst of a crowd, but he would sit down. And what does that paint a picture of? Intimacy, fellowship. He sat with disciples. He took that relationship to a different level. So we are willing, if we're a disciple, to follow Jesus, but we have to make sure that that following him is unconditional.

We cannot put conditions on how we follow Jesus. Jesus, I will follow you, but if you just let me hold on to this area of my life that satisfies me, I'm good with you. We make a deal with him and say, God, can we bargain this whole deal? The rich young ruler says, hey, what must I do to inherit the kingdom? Go sell everything you have, give everything away. And he was dejected and sad and walked away sorrowful. He wasn't willing to do what it took. But you know what Jesus didn't do? He didn't negotiate with him. You know what? You know what? My bad. That was a little rough. May I ask you to give everything away? You're a rich guy. Hey, let's start with a third of your possessions. Can you do that? He didn't do that. He said, here's the standard. He wasn't willing to meet that standard. It is what it is. Here's what it's gonna take to follow me. Are you willing to do that? See, God's not opposed to us having nice things. He's not opposed to us having wealth. He's not opposed to any,

he is opposed to those things having us. So he's not opposed to us having it. He's opposed when it has us. Because when it has us, it becomes an idol. When it's an idol, we will put that above him every single time. But if he can get it to us and through us and it can be used for love DC, right? If it can be used for community nights, if it can be used for core as you grow in the word of God, right? If he can use all those things, that money, it takes money. But it's a good thing because it's used for the kingdom. But if you try to hoard it for yourself and say, no, this is mine, then you're not ready to go all in and surrender as a disciple of Christ. Christ. We all make plans and we all think this is the way I have my life at 18. At 25, I'm gonna be here in life. At 30, I'm gonna be married for at least two years. I'm gonna have one child. You have it all laid out. But let me ask you a question that I have to ask myself. How often do I invite God in to these perfect plans that I have for my life? How about this? How about I adjust my life to his good,

pleasing, and perfect will for my life and allow him to take over? How about I put the car of my life in park, undo the seatbelt, and say, God, would you please drive me? Because you know where you wanna take me so much better than what my plans look like. It says in Proverbs 19.21, many are the plans of a man's heart or a person's heart, but it's the Lord's purpose that what? Prevails. See, we can make plans and God has a perfect plan. How about as Blackabee says in Experiencing God that we make the major adjustment in our life to align with his perfect plan? How about we do that? It always works out better when we join God in what he's doing with our life than asking him to join us. Because again, when we ask God to join us, we want control of the situation. And God's saying, it is my purpose. It is my plan that's gonna prevail in your life. So let's make the adjustment. If we're gonna go all in as a surrendered disciple of Jesus Christ, let's make the adjustment to align with his will. We thought we were gonna be here at 25 and then God stepped in and redirected our path. We thought we were gonna be in this situation

at this time in our life. We thought we'd be this far up the corporate ladder, but we're right here right now. But I'm really plugged into ministry and I'm growing in ministry and I'm starting to feel a tug on my heart for ministry. And that might not be on staff at a church, but you might be leading a community group. You might be leading or just being a very faithful door holder. It's like, wow, that wasn't in the plans, but God had it in his plans for you to grow and for you to serve and for you to love those who are in your sphere of influence. As I said earlier, everywhere Jesus went, he drew a large crowd. And a lot of people came to him for a various variety of reasons. Some people did need healing. Some people did need touching. You read that through the Gospels. But look at John 6, verse two. It says, a huge crowd kept following him wherever he went because they saw the miraculous signs as he healed the sick. They followed him because of what he was doing, because of what he was doing. Many people followed Jesus because of what he did. Fewer followed him because of who he was.

A disciple follows Jesus for who he is. Might I ask you and might I challenge you as I've been challenged. You guys know when we put these sermons together, see my notes? The font's pretty big. You can probably read it in the back. But when we put, I have to answer these questions too, y'all. This applies to me. So it's not me speaking down to you. It is us going through this together. Might I encourage you with this, that check the motivation of your heart of why you're following Jesus. We can't get so consumed chasing after his hands and we miss his heart. You know what's at the center of his heart? Souls, people. Here's what we've done. And this hurts my heart. We have inserted ourself as the main character of the story. We have one superstar, y'all. He has a name, his name's Jesus. And he is the center, he is the zenith of this entire life story. We play a supporting role in this. We are very important in that supporting role because he died for us. But as a disciple of Christ,

we are to point people to him. An all-in surrendered disciple isn't how good I can come up here and wax eloquently with words or how well I can sing on a praise team. It is simply for me to reflect the glory of God and how good he is. For them to sing and echo his praise, right, of how good he is. There's one superstar, y'all, and it is not us. It is Him, so we have to check the motivation of our heart of why we are chasing after God. Is it what He can give us and then we can shine? Or is it us being able to chase Him because we want Him? Do not get caught up chasing the blessing and you miss the blesser. It is so beautiful, and recently my son, we had a men's night at church on Friday and my son, who's 22, plays college football, and I was like, son, I would love for you to come and attend this men's deal with your dad. And it was like, okay, dad, I'll see what I got going. I'm like, dang, I used to be cool. Dad, can I go with you? Just wanted to hang with dad. Now I'm like, son, please, please come to this deal with pops. All right, dad, I'll see what I got going. It's down the street from your school, son. It's not an, I'm like pleading with him, right?

Then one time, you know, times when he's growing up, like, son, you can't go to this deal. Oh, dad, I wanna go. Now I'm begging him, please go. But you know what it did? He didn't ask me for anything. He showed up. He didn't ask me for anything. There was no cash app deal. Hey, Daddy Pops, by the way, I need gas. He didn't do any of those things. We just sat by each other at this men's event. You know, as a father, what that did for me, that meant so much. Yeah, he was hopefully getting something out of it, but you know what I was getting out of it? I was sitting next to my boy. He wasn't looking at my hands. He captured my heart. Now what he doesn't know is he could have asked me for something then, and because we had that time together, I'd have been like, yeah, bing, bing, bing. You know, he didn't. Oh, he missed it, but it's all on him. But again, be found guilty of chasing after his heart. I never played poker. I wasn't gonna ask anybody to poke. It's time? No, I didn't, but I do know this about the game of poker.

You watch it on ESPN, you know, the ladies, the dudes, they'll have on their sunglasses, they put on their poker face. They show you what their card is on TV. You know, you can see everything that's going on, and these are high stakes, right? And there's usually a time in the match when that person, and stakes are high, and they kind of put their hands like this, and they grab all their chips, and what do they do? They push them all to the middle, and it means they are what? All in. At that point in time, they take off sunglasses, they stand up, and they start walking around the stage, and they're like, there's no more plays to be made. Like, here we go, like, yeah, pretty. They could be bluffing, but they are willing to push everything to the middle and say it's worth it. It's all or nothing. As we think about surrendering our life as a disciple of Christ, we have to have that type of mentality, not the bluffing mentality. Oh, they think I'm all in for the Lord. Yeah, bluffing, I'm doing my own thing. No, but having that deal like, yo, I'm willing to go all in. You going all in?

No, man, stop playing hokey pokey with the Lord, bro. Like, stop one in, one in and out. Like, go in. Go in with the Lord. You've been playing games too long. He's not into playing patty cake, you know. He's not doing all that. I still know it, but he's not doing all that. You go all in for him, and then only he knows what's about to happen next. So a disciple who's willing to take up their cross daily and follow him, a disciple who is willing to go baptize in the name of the Lord Jesus, in the name of the Father, Son, the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all that I've commanded them to do. Here's the caveat, and I'll be with you till the end of the age. But we've gotta be willing to first don't hoard ships to the side and say, that's my part. That's my little stash. I'm going all in for you. In my relationships, to represent Christ, I'm going all in. To serve in my local church, I'm gonna go all in. My personal time of spending time in the word, growing in Jesus, I'm going all in. That's the call. That's the call. But when someone calls, you have a choice. Are you gonna answer, or are you gonna let that thing keep ringing until it's not ringing anymore?

So in order to go all in for Jesus Christ, it is more than a verbal affirmation of I'm in. It's more than putting that Christian fish on your car. It is more than a post on social media and say, man, this scripture is dope, check this out. It's more than any of those things. constant surrender. It's an unwavering resolve to say, I identify with team Jesus. I'm wearing his jersey. I wear the colors of the cross. I don't live for the applause of man. I live for the applause of nail scarred hands. That's who I am right now. I'm all in for Jesus at work. I'm all in for Jesus at home. I'm all in for Jesus with my classmates. I'm all in for Jesus in the marketplace. I'm all in for him. I'm surrendered. I've given my life to say I'm of no, I have nothing else to hide. Like I'm in. And that's what he's inviting you and me to do. And what does that look like? Number one, Luke 9, 23, number one is you have to deny yourself. Number one, your desires must take a backseat to God's plan. This is an ailment that we all suffer from. We all suffer from this ailment.

It's called the disease of me. Everything revolves around me. You want to take a test? Let's take a group picture. Take a big panoramic group picture of this room. Boom. Man, it looks great. Until someone says, hold on. Oh no, no, I look horrible. No, we got to take it again. So the whole picture's messed up because you're turned off looking to the side. It determines what, we suffer from the disease of me. What determines if a group picture's a good picture, it's, and you're like, it's how I look. There it is. We all suffer from that. But at the end of the day, we have to be willing to get out of, I said it earlier, but we have to deny ourself. We have to get out of the driver's seat, get in the backseat, and let God take over. Don't hold too tight to your possessions. Don't hold too tight to stuff. We talked about that earlier. Jesus is either Lord of all, or he's not Lord at all. Does he own, is he the master and ruler of everything associated with you? If he's not Lord of all, then he's not Lord of all. That is a daily surrender.

That is a daily dying. You could say last week on Thursday, man, I was great. Then Monday hits, and you're like, ah, not so great. It's a daily dying to our flesh. This is the beautiful thing about the Christian life. You don't reach something and go, I got it. I got it mastered. I am now walking in victory every single day. That is no longer an issue until it becomes an issue again. That's why this, here's a big word, sanctification process, the process. Salvation is an instant. You get saved from death to life. Then sanctification, the process of being cleansed and set apart for his kingdom. It's a daily dying to yourself. Not every, many want the blessings of God. Few wanna sign up for that. But if we're gonna live an all-in life, then we've gotta be willing to sign up for that. So we must take a back seat. Our desire is to take a back seat to God's plan. Number two, you take up your cross daily, and you submit and obey. Everyone say submit and obey. You submit and obey to Christ's authority in our lives. Jesus wasn't talking about wearing religious symbols. He wasn't talking about all the Christian verbiage. He was talking about a committed and surrendered life to God's plan and his will for us.

Anytime anyone was seen during that time, death on a cross was the chief form of execution in Rome for dangerous criminals. Jesus was not that, but he was treated as that. The death on a cross, it was humiliating because you were seen carrying a cross throughout the public square for all to see. Anyone saw someone carrying a cross, they knew that that person was walking to their own execution, carrying their own form of execution. Death on a cross was cruel. It was public. It was excruciating. It was long. It was painful. Out of the cross, we get the word excruciating. That's how painful it was. And our Lord and Savior, Jesus died a criminal's death on a cross for you and for me. And he's saying, if you're going to be my disciple, you've got to take up your cross daily. You've got to be a dead man, a dead woman walking who has no rights and privileges, but identify with him and be willing to be able to give it all for him because he gave it all for us. And then the last point that he gives us. So we've got to deny ourself, take a backseat to our desires.

We've got to take up our cross daily. And number three, here's the all-in call. We've got to follow Him. We've got to follow Him. You know, I just recently went to minister two weeks ago in a maximum security prison in Huntsville, Texas. I told God that I wanted to do what He had for me to do. So I was like, yeah, I'd love to go. So here I am in my truck driving up to Huntsville about an hour and a half north of Houston. I had no idea that I was preaching that night, but I signed up to go all-in for Jesus. So I had been studying the Word of God for me, not for a message, but for me. And as I'm driving up, I get a text message that said, hey, do you have any scriptures you want to use for the screen or any points you want to make? And I'm thinking, for what? I thought I was coming up to do a five-minute, hey, guys, my name's Mikado, and just kind of shadow what they had going. No, you're gonna have 40 minutes to an hour to preach. And you know what I said? Okay. Now, if you could have seen what I was thinking inside, you'd be like, what? I got what? You got 40 minutes to an hour to preach. And I said, okay, God, if you don't fill my mouth, this is gonna be a disaster.

But I'm trusting you. I've surrendered and I've gone all-in with you. So you wouldn't put me on a platform to declare your goodness and just fall flat on my face. You know what else I couldn't do? I couldn't bring in my iPad or my phone. So I just had the big font letter Bible. It's all I had. So you know what I'm doing? I'm flipping through, like there's gotta be some sticky notes in here. There's bullet points in here from something Pastor Ben preached. Somebody, something's in here. I just cleaned out my Bible. So I walk in and there's 800 prisoners, men, all in white jumpsuits. And I said, okay, Lord, this is it. And by the grace of God, only because I said, God, I surrender. Not because I'm that good or that I'm that great of a preacher, but I said, God, this is all yours. Can you shine through this vessel? And I opened my mouth and was connecting with men. These weren't prisoners. I'm connecting with men who were created in the image of God and I'm speaking God's word of truth to them. And boom, boom, boom, boom. 50 minutes later,

as I'm standing there just praying, get off the stage. One of these prisoners runs up and hugs me and we're hugging. He wasn't supposed to be hugging me. He was a part of this unit that they pretty violent and they're not supposed to be a part of the general assembly, except for these types of revival experiences. And he starts sharing his story with me. 21 years old. He said, I'm never getting out of here. I said, man, you're in prison. You don't have to let prison be in you. And I said, you have a Bible? I got a Bible. I said, fall in love with the pages in that book. Fall in love with the God of this book. The name Anthony, y'all pray for Anthony. I told Anthony, I said, man, God has an amazing plan. You can change people's lives in here, bro. Use this as great ministry opportunity. Listen, I do not say that to say, Makoto, you're always ready. I'm not. But at that moment, I had chosen to go all in. Leading up to that moment, I had been in my word, but you know what else I've been through? I've been through dry seasons. I've been through dry seasons

where I didn't want to open up this word. I didn't want someone to say, hey, Makoto, tell me something, give me a good word. No, I don't have anything for you. You give me a good word. I don't have anything, I'm dry right now. You ever been there? Listen, the ebbs and the flows of the Christian life, but what we have to be willing to do is to continue walking with him, continue denying ourself, continue submitting and obeying to his word, and then saying, God, I'm gonna answer the call. I'm willing to go all in. I've kept, there's been things in my life that have kept me from answering the call, but May 31st, 2026, you know what I'm gonna do today? I'm gonna answer the call. I'm gonna surrender. And for some of you, it's gonna be for the first time. For some of you, you're not even wearing the jersey. You're not on Team Jesus, and that's no condemnation to you. What it's me sharing with you. who is, it's available. It is available for you to give your life to Christ. Remember, salvation is free. He offers it, he demonstrated his death on a cross so that you can have life and have life more abundantly. But for some of you, you've been wearing the jersey,

but you've been on the sideline. And you've just kind of been like, eh, church has been great. What are you doing with that? Eh, not much. How's throughout the week? How are you doing in fellowship and accountability? How are you doing with these? Eh, it's time. It's time today maybe to meet with someone in access and pray with them, just to agree with them in prayer. Maybe it's to come down in one of these mats and pray and just surrender and give it to God. Don't know. Maybe for some of you, you've been running hard after God. And you're like, Makana, I'm all in. Praise the Lord. Keep being all in. Keep living that surrendered life. We need more like you. But that's the business between you and the Father. So we're not poking and prodding and manipulating. That's the business between you and God. But here's what it's gonna take. You have to be willing to deny yourself. You have to be willing to take up your own cross. Then you're gonna have to be willing to answer that call to follow him. And I'm willing to go all in. It's not a list of do's and don'ts.

It's not rules. It is a relationship that he offers. And when we allow him to take control, it is an adventure. It is an adventure worth going on. And it is unbelievable. Experience the joy of that salvation. Experience the fruit of growing as a disciple of Christ. Experience all of those things that he has for you as I experience what he has for me. Let us all do it for the glory of God. And you reach the target that he's called you to reach. And how about this? We might be able to reach a big part of this world. If you turn the world upside down with a few, say, God, what can you do with a city? And we choose to love that city. And love that city well. Amen?
