While the good news of the gospel may not appeal to everyone, the bad news of the gospel still applies to everyone.

The marker of those who understand the gospel of Jesus Christ is that, when they stumble and fall, when they screw up, they run to God and not from him, because they clearly understand that their acceptance before God is not predicated upon their behavior but on the righteous life of Jesus Christ and his sacrificial death.

The commands of God are given, not to rob me of joy, but lead me into the fullness of joy.

I think people can get a little weirded out by pain, suffering, and death. They don't know what to do so they end up saying things that are hurtful to people who have experienced loss.

Jesus doesn't need you to make him palatable...he needs you to be faithful.

Men of God are those who walk in the fear of the Lord.

If the gospel of Jesus Christ is not at the center of a wedding ceremony, it is likely not going to be at the center of the marriage. This would be a grave mistake, however, as marriage itself is designed to be a great reflector of that gospel.
