 There is a Gospel Being Written. The Gospel According to You

 (2 Corinthians 3:2). 

We often focus too much on idle chatter and not enough on the gospel. The gospel represents the good news, the joyous message, the truth. Therefore, let us abandon gossip and turn to the gospel.

 

There are two kinds of gospel: the gospel of Jesus Christ and the gospel of the kingdom. The former takes one from the world to the church, and comprises the preexistence of Jesus, his birth, his life, his ministry, his death, his burial, his resurrection, his ascension, his intercession, and his second coming. These ten aspects make up the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 

The apostles preached the gospel of Jesus Christ and brought many to salvation. I, for one, am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it has the power to save us. However, once we are saved, we need a different gospel, namely, the gospel of the kingdom. This gospel is enough to make us outgrow the church and enter the kingdom.

 

Jesus himself represented the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the apostles had to use Jesus to authenticate the message they preached. Now that this gospel has been preached throughout much of the world, the end will not come until the gospel of the kingdom has been preached in every corner of the earth.

 

You also have a gospel according to you, which describes what God has done for you and how you have been brought to this moment in your life. It is your personal testimony, your living epistle. Your gospel is your story, which includes all the trials and tribulations you have faced, the victories you have won through faith, and the miracles and wonders you have seen. Share your gospel so that we might overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimonies.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
