The Good News

So here is where I am at tonight… most people in America know the story of Jesus. At least in a nutshell. So I think that Christians in America should focus less on telling the story of Jesus and more on being the story of Jesus.

We should quit talking about grace as we hold a grudge.
We should quit talking about persecution as we hurt others.
We should quit talking about acceptance as we hate the people who hurt us.
We should quit talking about others as we focus on ourselves.
We should quit talking about compassion as we ignore those in need.

Call me crazy, but I would venture to guess that God is more concerned with us being the Gospel, than us knowing the Gospels.

We are supposed to be the Good News.
You are supposed to be the Good News.

Now.

  2. Yes. We are related. Not an entirely original thought, but I am okay with that.

  3. I mean the blog wasn't entirely original... not the related thing. You know what I mean.
