The Gospel


Here is one thought that came out of our training yesterday. I’m trying to catch my breath, ‘cause we’ve been hitting it hard and I’m only getting to bed by 1:00am or so and up at 6:25am. Guess I’ll be crashing on the train back home - but I did want to use that time for further prep for several things coming up in the next few weeks.


We need to keep a balance of the
        Power of the Gospel - (salvation) - Rom. 1:16
        Purpose of the Gospel - Eph. 2: 8-10 (to do the good works for which we have been created)

If there is an imbalance, these are the results:
        All power & no purpose - dead churches - saved & waiting for Heaven
        All purpose & no power - social gospel

Simple, no?
