The Only Place To Start
If anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. —Galatians 1:9

When a publishing company asked me to write an endorsement for a new book, I said I’d be glad to. It appeared to be a helpful effort directed to young people, challenging them to live for God in a changing world. But as I read the book, something troubled me. Although it had lots of Scripture and great spiritual advice, it didn’t explain that the starting point for any relationship with God is salvation through Jesus Christ.

The writer seemed to imply that the essence of living spiritually in modern society is based totally on action—good deeds—and not on saving faith in Christ. I didn’t write the endorsement.

The culture of the church is changing rapidly. Often left behind in the rush to find exciting new ideas is the essential nature of the gospel. The apostle Paul was astonished that people so readily embraced a “different gospel” (Gal. 1:6). What he preached was not from man, but a direct revelation from Jesus Himself (vv.11-12).

We must never let go of that true gospel: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again for our justification, declaring us righteous before God (Rom. 4:25; 1 Cor. 15:3-4). This alone offers the “power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Rom. 1:16). If we want to live for God, this is the only place to start.

No one can say he doesn’t need
Forgiveness for his sin,
For all must come to Christ by faith
To have new life within. —Branon

Faith is the hand that must take God’s gift of salvation.

Bible in One Year: Psalms 54-56; Romans 3

How true!!!!! This ODB said a LOT today of what is fast becoming a watered down gospel...self help, a false gospel.

It is Christ Alone and His atoning work on the Cross that is the starting point of the Gospel.

That is terrible but so cute, Lori. He’s looking as if to say “What do you expect when you go off having fun and leaving me here alone with Sissy?”

I’ve read about some of your adventures on FBook but it sounds as if you all are really having lots of fun! We had some friends who had one for years and they truly enjoyed it for many years! With a 5th wheel you get many ‘mini’ vacations and don’t have to wait so long between vacations!

(((Hugs)))

Mama_Bear,
What a beautiful 5th wheel. Oh how we miss our travel trailer! We sold it last year, and I never dreamed how much we would miss it! Your photo makes me want to go out and buy up another!
