Well, hats off to Robins Nesting Place for encouraging me and helping me get a blog. I must say that this is new to me; however, I believe that I will enjoy it. As you can see, I am a little behind on some of the technology out there today but I am catching up.
Well, I will start off with my thought for today. The thought for today is about the Heart of The Gospel, and being a Christian, I think we should all think about what the heart of the Gospel truly is. This is something that has been on my mind since my devotion Monday, which I must give credit to RBC Ministries (specifically Our Daily Bread). E. Stanley Jones was one of the greatest and one of the most well-known missionaries, traveling all over but mainly to India. He once had a meeting with Gandhi at which time he asked Gandhi how could Christianity make a stronger impact on the country of India. Gandhi responded with three points. First, Christians must begin to live more like Jesus. Second, the Christian faith should be presented without any adulteration. And third, Christians should emphasize love, which is at the heart of the Gospel.
This absolutely astounded me. Here is a non-Christian summing up the heart of the Gospel with one word and it is true......LOVE. I think that what Gandhi said applies to us as Christians today and here in America. We need to show Love and not be afraid to testify. If Christians begin to stand up, we will be heard.
Blessings on you today and always!
In His Service,
