"The Gospel Is Not Good Advice...."

It's Good News!

Tim Keller shared those words by Dr. Martin Lloyd Jones in his talk at The Gospel Coalition at the end of May. The video and audio of his address as well as John Piper and Don Carson is up and ready for your viewing pleasure.

Keller says that there are seven features of the Gospel that we must tease out into ministry. They are that the Gospel is:

-Historical
-Doxological
-Christo-centrical
-Personal
-Cultural
-Transformational
-Wonderful

And he takes almost an hour and doesn't get through them all but by the time you're done, you feel as though you've had a glance into something you really had never quite seen. If you are going to set aside one hour this week for your spiritual growth (which really is not anything at all considering all the other things you spend an hour doing) you need to spend your hour watching this talk. You will NOT be disappointed.
