lord i want to stir you up today by way
of reminder
[Applause]
the gospel is still the good news
and it is not just the good news y’all
to some people but to all not just to
one nation or to one particular
political party or to one race or to one
region he is the god who saves all his
name is jesus christ and listen to me
you and i are living in a day and age
all where we’re going to have to be
discerning enough that what we are
listening to and what we’re being fed
we’re gonna have to be discerning enough
to decide whether or not this is of the
same kind of faith as ours
that just because somebody is saying it
passionately or charismatically or
didactically
if it adds to or in any way takes away
from the purity of the good news then it
is not of the same kind of faith as ours
you and i are gonna have to be
discerning we’re gonna have to listen
carefully we’re gonna have to make sure
that we weigh that thing against the
actual truth of scripture to see if what
we are being told if what we are being
taught lines up with who jesus actually
declared himself to be and then not only
that but then we’re going to have to be
clear and confident and unashamed and
unmoved ourselves in our salvation in
who jesus is
because listen it ain’t politically
correct right now to say there is only
one way and his name is jesus christ
you’re going to have to have a
supernatural boldness in this day and
age to be unashamed about the good news
of jesus christ you’re going to have to
have some fortitude and some spiritual
meat on your bones this is not a time
for spiritual wimps y’all we’re gonna
have to rise up with some actual muscle
on our spiritual bones to be unashamed
about the gospel of jesus christ
and i don’t know what your testimony is
but i’m telling you he’s done too much
for me to be embarrassed about who he is
he’s delivered me from too much he’s
changed my life in too many ways he’s
sustained me and kept me and redeemed me
and brought me even if i’ve just looked
back over the past couple of years the
way that he has kept me in my right mind
and allowed me to still have some sense
of strength and energy and fortitude to
make it through the day
and to stay married and to parent my
children and to be diligent in ministry
he’s done too much for me
to be ashamed of the gospel of jesus
christ
