 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.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
