Morning: We were blessed to take part in Gideon Rally Day here at Monticello. We had a great speaker who shared some exciting testimonies about people who have received Christ through the Gideons' ministry. I also preached, "Not Ashamed of the Gospel," from Romans 1:16-17.
Paul states he is not ashamed of the gospel. He is not embarrassed of the message. He has no reluctance in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In these verses, Paul sets forth two reason that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. He was not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation to every on who believes. He was not ashamed because the gospel reveals a righteousness from God, that is by faith from first to last.
Paul is confident that the gospel will transform lives as it is preached. He is confident that true righteousness will be experience by those who trust in Christ.
Evening: We compared the Baptist Faith and Message 1963 and 2000. We looked at The Kingdom (IX), Last Things (X), Evangelism and Mission (XI), and Education (XII).
Thank you for such an inspiring blog. May our Lord continue to shine through you. God bless, Lloyd
