“Extra! Extra read all about it.”

“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them. “John 17:25-26

Because of the greatest privilege God has entrusted to us the above scripture, reminds me when I was a newspaper boy,” Remembering those days when after my route, you could walk the streets of a city and hear the voice of a newspaper boy crying out. I would say, “Extra! Extra read all about it.” Trying to get the attention of people who were passing by so that they would come to me and buy a newspaper. That was the way the news was spread in those days”. How do people get the good news of Gods love today? Some get it from the radio, television, on line or coming to church and hear about Gods love. But the best way to spread the good news of Gods love is for believers to tell others about it!

Have you ever been asked a tough question or given an answer you didn’t know the response to? Have you ever been put on the spot with those dialogue stoppers about your faith, where you found yourself fumbling for a response? You know, “something like, how was humanity created for loving relationships when it comes to the Holy Trinity”? The most difficult thing for me as a Christian is the concept of the Trinity and that there is no way to perfectly and completely understand it. The Trinity is a concept that is impossible for any human being to fully understand, let alone explain. God is infinitely greater than we are; therefore, we should not expect to be able to fully understand Him. The Bible teaches that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible also teaches that there is only one God. That is the reason God tells us to lean on his Spirit. This is where we are given strength, the words, and the guidance for sharing his Good News. God equips you and gives you situations to share his love, even when you don’t think you can handle it.

I look to God’s Word about the Trinity: Deuteronomy 6; 4,1 Corinthians 8:4, Galatians3: 20, Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22 and Isaiah 6:8 to name a few.

All love flows from the three persons, who relate to one another in perfect unity as one essence. God is love, His Nature! His love has no beginning and no End.

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to son ship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15

Perhaps maybe you have been in situation where, weather it is about your faith or not you have been asked a question that made your confidence sink and your level wane because you couldn’t reply with a swift, certain answer. I have been thinking lately about “Living with the Gospel in the church is often comfortable for most. But living with the gospel beyond the church doors is often less so”. My question for me/us how do we follow Jesus’ example of spreading the good news of God’s love? The effective Christian communicator must establish grounds for understanding because the gospel seems improbable, unthinkable, and unimaginable to non-Christian spiritual seekers. Call it what you will. The task of moving non-Christians from the improbable to the probable, from the unimaginable to the imaginable, is a vital task of living epistles through prayer. It is about cultivating a certain frame of mind and attitude in our relationships — one that, ultimately, moves people ever closer to saving faith. Is it possible to surrender the boundaries (protective walls) without losing the essential life and integrity of the faith (some call it doctrinal purity or compromise)?

Our Lord thought so. As He looked to His own death, by which he would gather the nations to himself, He told his disciples, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit”. John 12:24 what has to die in the seed are not its essence, just its protective husk. “Paul’s ability and requirement “for the sake of the Gospel” to “become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some”. Seemed to cause significant anxiety among the Judean believers that he was compromising the true doctrine as revealed through Moses in the Torah

As a former coach, teacher and worker in numerous other occupations; while the church, bible classes have taught me many, many things, I have had a unique opportunity to learn mostly while serving outside the church and put spiritual teachings into practice as we are called to do with the help of the Holy Spirit.

 “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.  So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God”.

 2 Timothy 1:7-8

Dear Jesus, may we follow your example and share the good news of God’s love with everyone we meet in Jesus Name Amen!

God Bless You and This Ministry!
