What is the Gospel NOT?<\/b><\/p>\n

Way back in the spring I sat down, and in about half an hour I had written a whole bunch of statements to explain what the Gospel was NOT.  I set them to post automatically on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> every Monday morning.<\/p>\n

But alas!  They have finally run out.<\/p>\n

(Why did I write about what the Gospel is NOT, instead of what it IS? Mainly because I was trying to write something short<\/i>.  And one of the big problems with (bad) explanations of the Gospel is that they tend to lack balance<\/i>.  In other words, short statements can be great summaries (there are a lot of short statements about the Gospel in the Bible!), but they never give the whole picture.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ve listed every one of my statements below.  Some come straight from Bible passages, some (sadly) I’ve actually heard people (or even preachers) say.  Feel free to comment and let m know what you think.<\/p>\n

So – is there something else I should start posting Monday mornings?  Some short statement about something?  Any suggestions?<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
