TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - JUNE 15, 2022
Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at 9:21AM Teach Gently
Today is June 15, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
When it comes to sharing the gospel, I believe there is some misunderstanding on what that looks like. This is why Apostle Paul writes specifically on the details of it in 2 Timothy 2. And, what is our main responsibility in sharing the gospel? Well
It is first to ourselves.
Apostle Paul makes it clear that we are to make sure:
- that we are not living a life in contradiction to the gospel nor that we are acting like hypocrites
- that we are fleeing from a life of sin and, instead, pursuing righteousness, faith, love, and peace with other people of God
- that we are not getting into foolish arguments but, in humility, showing kindness
Once we take care of that, then we can share the gospel. And Apostle Paul makes it clear that we are to teach it gently. Meaning, what we portray in our lives and the actions we do each day are incredibly important to having people receive the message of Jesus Christ.
We are not called to be hammers or swords but to be people that shine the light of Christ in our lives, teaching the gospel of Christ gently, in the hopes that God will lead people to repentance.
God's blessing upon you as you mediate on the teachings of Apostle Paul in what it means to teach the gospel, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
