Isn't it interesting that you seldom, if ever see any commercials about the water company? The Richfield water authority isn't on the television or radio trying to convince people that water is relevant for today. You don't see them marketing city water because water will always be relevant in peoples lives. You never see the electric company trying to sell the relevance for electricity. Electricity will always be relevant. The same is true with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are all kinds of books and magazines whose authors are trying to convince people that the gospel is relevant for their life. They try to sell the gospel like a salesmen pointing out all of the grand benefits without ever mentioning the many sacrifices. However, it has produced more people in the Kingdom of God so it must be right. Really! Is the size of the audience proof that something is right or is it merely proof that it was easier to get to that place? Friend, the Gospel of Jesus Christ does not need to be sold. It will sell itself. The Gospel does not need a makeover to be relevant because the true untouched gospel of Jesus Christ never stopped be relevant. People just stopped serving it in exchange for a cheap imitation that is void of love, humility, power, and transformation. That kind of gospel will never be irrelevant.Thursday, July 12, 2012
