The Gospel Is Not: “You Suck and You’re Gonna Pay For It!”

Hey!
‘Good news’ should sound like, well, good news to people, right? So why in the past did I so often dread sharing my faith or the gospel with someone?
What happened to the Good News? (This should be fun!)
In my new blog/video post I explain how many of us have actually been taught a very small, truncated form of the Bible and have probably ended up with a very small gospel because of it.
The Gospel Is Not: “You Suck and You’re Gonna Pay For It!”
And Christianity is Not About Sin Management


The problem is that for decades the dominant, most frequent teaching and preaching we’ve been exposed to seemingly leaves Genesis 1 and 2 out of the Bible, and it also omits Revelation 21 and 22. 
The story is commonly told from Genesis 3, where humans sin, and ends in Revelation chapter 20 where judgment is coming. And that makes the story of God–the entre Bible–seem to focus on one thing; human sin and an inevitable punishment that awaits. [click to continue]
In this together,
