Gospel Math

"Jesus plus nothing is everything. Everything minus Jesus is nothing.''

--Randy Alcorn, "Dethroning Money to Treasure Christ Above All" in For the Fame of God's Name: Essays in Honor of John Piper

Put another way:
Jesus + nothing = everything

Everything - Jesus = nothing

Dethroning All Secondary Treasures

"[Jesus] calls all of us to a life of dethroning all secondary treasures in order to elevate him as our primary treasure. If we value anything or anyone more than we value Jesus, we are not his disciples."

--Randy Alcorn, "Dethroning Money to Treasure Christ Above All" in For the Fame of God's Name: Essays in Honor of John Piper
