Grace - Did the Gospel become the "Okay" News?

"We are in a war between dullness and astonishment."  - Robert Capon

"The most critical issue facing Christians is not abortion, pornography, the disintegration of the family, moral absolutes, MTV, drugs, racism, sexuality, or school prayer.  The critical issue today is dullness.  We have lost our astonishment.  The Good News is no longer good news, it is the okay news.  Christianity is no longer life changing, it is life enhancing.  Jesus doesn't change people into wild-eyed radicals anymore, He changes them into 'nice people.'"  - Michael Yaconelli

If you're no longer finding yourself to be astonished and amazed by the Gospel, let me suggest that you've lost sight of what the Gospel really is.  I pray that you will re-discover this, if necessary, and experience the power of God for you, in you, and through you as you see the sick and oppressed healed and set free.  This is the Gospel; this is our realm.

Grace=Peace,

Jeremy
