The Gospel

The Gospel is good news, not bad news. I've never understood how people can claim to "preach the gospel" when what they preach is bad news - condemnation, fear, guilt, shame. God's love is good news. Freedom, healing & wholeness, justice, compassion - all of this is good news. This is what Jesus taught and how he lived - and what he called us to live out in our lives. This is the gospel.
