The truncated gospel versus the holistic gospel, Part 1. Many pastors, including myself, were trained in seminary that we had to “preach the gospel.” What was it we were to preach? That Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin and give you the hope of heaven. We were taught that this is the simple gospel, the “good news” for each individual.

We are pressured to make grand New Year’s Resolutions. But does God want us to worry about accomplishing big things or does he want us to be faithful in small things? We don’t have one grand calling that God wants us to somehow discover (as if God has hidden from us that one thing that he wants us to do with our lives and we fail if we can’t figure it out). We only have the many callings laid out... Read more
