It's easy for the church to get off track. There are so many good things that we could be doing. We will naturally be drawn to the things we can do best; those things which come easiest; things that excite us, or we enjoy most. But Jesus has given us one specific mission. It is not ours, it is His. And we are invited to join Him in it.

Audio:
The Bible says that "without holiness, no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14). We need a perfect righteousness in order to be acceptable to God. But we don’t have it. What we have is sin...which God both hates and rejects. God has what we need, but don’t deserve—righteousness. How then can we be made right with Him? The "Great Exchange!"
