Reading – Philippians 1-2

Highlight Verse:

“But that doesn’t matter. Whether their motives are false or genuine, the message about Christ is being preached either way, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I’ve recently seen several videos of Christians criticizing Christians.

They’ve mostly been fundamentalists criticizing seeker sensitive churches and Christian radio.

But over the years I’ve heard seeker sensitive churches criticize fundamentalists, Pentecostals criticize seeker sensitive churches, mainline churches criticizing Pentecostals, Evangelicals criticizing mainline churches, and so on.

Who is right and who is wrong?

All of us.

We are human.

Humans make mistakes.

We get selfish, we get self righteous, we take political and doctrinal sides, and we get critical.

And we let that get in the way of the Gospel.

What would happen if we concentrated on the Great Commission of bringing the Gospel to the whole world.

Yes, we can discuss our differences, but let’s do that while we work together.

Unless someone is preaching against the Gospel of salvation by the grace of Jesus alone, we should work together.

Paul did it – and the world changed.

Billy Graham did it – and the Gospel flourished.

We can do it – and watch revival sweep across the world.

What is your favorite way to spread the Gospel?
What stands in the way of sharing the Gospel for you?
