The Gospel.... do we know the story? You might say yes...
So then.....I've been challenged to think, actually, am I looking at just the gospel or the why's and what's of the gospel as well.
Why don't I get drunk? ....'Because I'm a Christian' ...that doesn't really help anybody but inform people.
But rather, I don't get drunk because I take pleasure in socialising with people on a personal level where conversation and humour are found.
Why don't I swear?.... 'Because I'm a Christian'....
But rather, I don't use bad language because I want to be someone who builds up and encourages people with my words and therefore swearing isn't going to achieve that.
Do you see my point?....I've been firmly challenged by God about this and the reasoning behind why I do the things Jesus taught me. Not because I'm a Christian, yes I am, but because I want to have a life that is full of all God's fullness and richness which can show people that a life with God is an opportunity not to be missed.
Anyway....hope that makes you ponder....
