Interesting post on the Anglopressy blog about the relevance of Jesus’ Gospel. How ironic that what people really mean by making it relevant is to take out the parts of the Gospel message that challenge and convict. We tell the story of Jesus coming to earth to “share God’s love” rather than relating what He really said, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). Love sure is a big part of the Bible’s message and evangelism should be driven by love. But we as Christians can’t pick and choose what parts of the message to deliver. It has to be the whole thing.
