The Gospel of God is the Good News.

If your preaching of the gospel of God's free grace in Jesus Christ does not provoke the charge from some of antinomianism, you're not preaching the gospel of the free grace of God in Jesus Christ.

The gospel of becoming a good believer cripples believers

To make it quite practical I have a very simple test. After I have explained the way of Christ to somebody I say __ow, are you ready to say that you are a Christian?_ And they hesitate. And then I say, __hat__ the matter? Why are you hesitating?_ And so often people say, __ don__ feel like I__ good enough yet. I don__ think I__ ready to say I__ a Christian now._ And at once I know that I have been wasting my breath. They are still thinking in terms of themselves. They have to do it. It sounds very modest to say, __ell, I don__ think I_ good enough,_ but it__ a very denial of the faith. The very essence of the Christian faith is to say that He is good enough and I am in Him. As long as you go on thinking about yourself like that and saying, ____ not good enough; Oh, I__ not good enough,_ you are denying God _ you are denying the gospel _ you are denying the very essence of the faith and you will never be happy. You think you__e better at times and then again you will find you are not as good at other times than you thought you were. You will be up and down forever. How can I put it plainly? It doesn__ matter if you have almost entered into the depths of hell. It does not matter if you are guilty of murder as well as every other vile sin. It does not matter from the standpoint of being justified before God at all. You are no more hopeless than the most moral and respectable person in the world.

It is not great faith but true faith that saves. And the salvation lies not in the faith but in the Christ in whom faith trusts.

The Good News does not hinge on words like do or change but on the powerless, irrelevant, and frightening words like belief and faith.

Preach the Gospel, die, and be forgotten.

Gospel change is the Spirit of God using the story of God to make the beauty of God come alive in our hearts

In answer, the news of the Gospel is that extraordinary things happen. ... Lear goes berserk on a heath but comes out of it for a few brief hours every inch a king. Zaccheus climbs up a sycamore tree a crook and climbs down a saint. Paul sets out a hatchet man for the Pharisees and comes back a fool for Christ.

Miracle focus messages compels masses to think that the process of production is not necessary for prosperity

I had always been appalled by the variation of the gospel of prosperity

Don't you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don__ come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come.

If the Gospels were mythical themselves, they could not provide the knowledge that demythologizes mythology.

The resistance to the mimetic contagion prevents the myth from taking shape. The conclusion in the light of the Gospels is inescapable: myths are the voice of communities that unanimously surrender to the mimetic contagion of victimization.

The world__ myths do not reveal a way to interpret the Gospels, but exactly the reverse: the Gospels reveal to us the way to interpret myth.

The ragamuffin gospel says we can't lose, because we have nothing to lose.

The gospel of miracle that we preach promotes death and encourages corruption.

Gospel of miracles is bringing about corruption in our country.
