a link: to "the gospel of a new order" by jim wallis
http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1&attid=0.1&disp=attd&view=att&th=108b0aa5ae8115c7i read this article after years of questioning, questioning, asking "what is the gospel?!"
i heard so many messages from so many directions, and i just kept searching.
i read this article-- it turned my world upside down.
when i finished, i thought, if what he's saying is true, if this really is the gospel,
then it really is something worth dying for... worth living for.
... so to check if it matched up at all with who Jesus was/is and what He preached,
i turned and read the whole gospel of Matthew,
underlying phrases that matched up
(like 'the gospel of the kingdom' (new for me!) and repent... and follow me)
oh gosh-- stretched soo much of what i thought the gospel was- challenged my assumptions
pushed my box open, led me to Christ asking Him to help me really understand...
turned my world upside-down.
read it.
Totally worth every minute.
... but don't just drink it in without discernment.
please. never. with anything.
but read it with an open heart and mind
and then (my personal recommendation), read Matthew.
then give me your thoughts- please! (whether or not you believe in this!)
i'm still seeking, continually learning about the gospel. walk with me- help me! thanks!
