This Sunday at Amana our Pastor Emeritus, Terrell Reed, will be bringing the message. I have an insider tip that he will discuss the simplicity of the gospel. That’s a great topic. i don’t know what he plans to say, but I really believe we need to broadcast and celebrate the simplicity of the Gospel.
God sent Jesus as Good News. One of the reasons that it’s good news is that it is understandable to most everyone. It isn’t complicated theology. In fact, when someone is discuss the Good News and you find yourself confused; you can be sure you are being led astray. Confusion is a tool of Satan; not of God.
For centuries, evil men have tried to complicate the gospel. Often so that they would become necessary mediators between God and those of us who are smart enough to hear directly. These are the kind of men who discouraged reading of the scripture by the laity, asserting that such was too complicated. There are those who will take one verse of clear scripture and stretch, contort, and confuse if for an hour so that it is beyond the understanding of anyone.
The longer I am a Christian, the more I “learn” the scriptures, the greater my experience, the more I realize that it’s all about Jesus. When I find myself drifting, when my faith begins to falter, when my joy starts to wilt; I can get back on track by reminding myself: It’s all about Jesus.
Pastor I don’t know what you plan to say on Sunday, but I hail your subject of simplicity and remind you only: KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid.
Be blessed.
Nick
