NOT ASHAMED

By Pastor Vinnie MacIsaac

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.  But, I am sure ashamed of what some people think is the Gospel!

The Gospel is not (no ifs, ands, or buts about it):

  • Your denomination

  • Your good works

  • Your bad works

  • Your lukewarm works

  • Your spiritual progress

  • Your holiness

  • Your political party

  • Your heritage

  • Your culture

  • Your race

  • How often you pray

  • What you eat or drink

  • A fine pressed suit

  • A two car garage

  • An excuse

  • Your pet issues

  • A right to hate

  • Uniformity

  • The privilege to put down sinners 

  • The privilege to put burdens on others you know you can’t really carry yourself

  • A reason for separation

  • Islamophobia

  • A flag

  • A war on people who disagree with you

  • Homophobia

  • Xenophobia

  • A reason for bad behavior in the name of truth

  • A meme

  • A tweet

  • White supremacy

  • Perfectionism

  • Being politically incorrect and blaming it on God

  • Setting dates for the end of the world

  • Socialism

  • All isms

  • Small churches

  • Dead churches

  • Arrogance

  • Being right

  • Changing someone’s mind 

  • Which translation you read

  • Your social status

  • Your health

Here is what that Gospel Is:

Gospel reading

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.  Romans 1:16

‘Nuff Said.

AMEN.
