Gospel, Gospel, Gospel
God has been impressing upon me the importance and centrality of the Gospel. Colossians 1:21 and following talks about those who did evil deeds but have now been reconciled, if indeed, they continue in the faith, stable and steadfast.
A few years ago while studying this passage, I realized that the Gospel is not just for “beginner” Christians. It is part of the daily identification with Jesus so that I can kill sin and pursue righteousness.
Here are a few of the mediums God is using to show me the importance and centrality of the Gospel:
- Grace Baptist Church ยป 15 Gospel-Saturated Book Recommendations – Kevin Larson alerted me to this blog post. It’s a great list of books that promote the Gospel.
- The Gospel Coalition conference. I’m attending it in April with Seth Hanson and Todd Billow. I plan to come back and write several sermonettes on the Gospel, like “The Gospel and free time,” and “The Gospel and food,” and “The Gospel and Fear.”
- John Piper’s blot post “Never let the Gospel get smaller.” A great, short read. I appreciate his concise writing.
