The Gospel


The Gospel is often spoken of but rarely understood, I believe we need an accurate and practical definition the spurns us on with passion for our King and Savior.

                If you don’t know the Gospel hear the Gospel or see the Gospel then you are a slave of this present evil age and not a child of the King. 

The Gospel is the foundation of Liberty, Justice, Love and Peace.

Separating yourself from the Gospel hands you over to apathy, uselessness and the dark servitude of self.

The Gospel is a correct relationship with reality.

                The Gospel is!

Zechariah 8:1-8

Consider this

Colossians 3:21. Fathers do not provoke your children to wrath and do not discourage them.   It is actually sin to discourage your children; the overarching paradigm of parenting is life and hope. (Peculiar to you and your child;  individual application. ) When you are done you have built trust , a platform to speak and be heard ( it must be selfless, which is the foundation of love). And then hope which is motivation to move and pay the suffering price of maturity which is victory in life. Along the way your frustration is a key to how much your flesh is involved in your actions; after all God says "what good is your anger" (Jonah 4:4) anger displays your self motivation to your children while you are calling them to die to the same. Timidity and self will have the same master as anger, self. In the end your personal battle with self creates a life experience for your family, building a platform for future relationships between you and your child's future family.  At some point within the home a mother should loose her control over her sons and exhibit an relationship built on respectful appeal. So your son learns to hear  the same from his future wife.  (1Timothy 2:12)
When we listen to worldly music we deny the truth showing a lack of concern for Christ ignore his crown rights and prove we are not straining toward  maturity. Being soldiers more interested with self -titillation than to stand fight and serve the high calling of God. Carousing with the enemy bolstering their dogmas the hand of this soldier forgets how to grasp his weapon. It's one thing to forget the battle and fail to fight, it's quite another to join the enemy in their degradation of the King.

Word

The Bible is the historical legal scientific truth but instead of patronizing our emotional sensual self seeking nerve it exposes it. At this point sinners repent and arrogant stand aloof.

Immaturity

Immaturity - lacking means or motivation to act in accordance with natural created order and priorities. Does not multiply or grow properly. Has affection for youthful things that distract but don't feed or produce. Labor and learning are ex strenuous and avoided. Focused on self, ease, and entertainment, destined to be empty shadows of their design. They are depending on emotion rather then justice truth and Gods law for direction, making them susceptible to manipulation and control ie. control the thing they desire control them. Can't be counted on to complete responsibilities or take ownership of failures. Seeking rest in complacency only brings them destruction. This is a thing to work through and overcome, embracing it steals hope direction and purpose. Following these can easily end in nihilism.
The world lives by gut and by gas doing whatever they please but we have the privilege of living to the high standard of God and resting in the peace  of his honor and glory
Since music is to remember lament and celebrate i.e. to worship ; what a coo for evil to have our minds on foolish and unsavory things of the flesh. No wonder we can't do anything but suffocate on our immaturity running the race without the means to finish.
