gospel

Now, the atonement of Christ is the most basic and fundamental doctrine of the gospel, and it is the least understood of all our revealed truths. Many of us have a superficial knowledge and rely upon the Lord and his goodness to see us through the trials and perils of life. But if we are to have faith like Enoch and Elijah we must believe what they believed, know what they knew, and live as they lived.

Believers must step out of the four walls of the church and take the gospel of the kingdom into every sphere of life.

The Good News is the gospel of glad-tidings.

...I fear that some of us understand just enough about the gospel to feel guilty--guilty that we are not measuring up to some undefinable standard--but not enough about the Atonement to feel the peace and strength, the power and mercy it affords us.

These days when Christians bicker they exaggerate passion into a legalistic belief and prosperity into a lukewarm belief.

The purpose of the gospel is to make bad men good and good men better, and to change human nature.

The good news is that Christ frees us from the need to obnoxiously focus on our goodness, our commitment, and our correctness. Religious has made us obsessive almost beyond endurance. Jesus invited us to a dance...and we've turned in into a march of soldiers, always checking to see if we're doing it right and are in step and in line with the other soldiers. We know a dance would be more fun, but we believe we must go through hell to get to heaven, so we keep marching.

There are conversations going on about the Church constantly. Those conversations will continue whether or not we choose to participate in them. But we cannot stand on the sidelines while others, including our critics, attempt to define what our Church teaches... We are living in a world saturated with all kinds of voices. Perhaps now, more than ever, we have a major responsibility as Latter-day Saints to define ourselves, instead of letting others define us.

By and large, the gospel of grace is neither proclaimed, understood, nor lived.

There is a power in God's gospel beyond all description.

Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.

The gospel opens our heart to the goodness of God,

In fact, I wouldn't really call this a Gospel album, I call it more an inspirational album.

Blues are the songs of despair, but gospel songs are the songs of hope.

Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.

When life is tough or even unbearable and we want to give up, God will send us a partner to help us make the journey - 1 Kings 19 & Luke 1:39 - 56

As long as there are millions destitute of the Word of God and knowledge of Jesus Christ, it will be impossible for me to devote time and energy to those who have both.

Reading stories forces us to exercise our empathy and imagination muscles, and that helps us conceive what the Bible depicts or demands, helps us connect with others, helps us illustrate what the text teaches, and helps us apply the text__ truths.
