To Believe the Gospel is to Reject the Lie of YOLO - Ryan Shelton
The popular acronym YOLO (you only live once) has captured the hearts of many an emerging hedonist (and not the Christian kind).

Finding Your Story in God's Story by Steve Childers
God created everything that exists, including the earth and all the nations on it for a purpose. The degree to which we understand God’s purpose for the world is the degree to which we will understand God’s purpose for our lives in it.

Note that the story of the gospel does not begin with Christ and his salvation but with God and his creation. This is because you cannot fully understand Christ’s salvation until you first understand its relationship to God’s creation.
