This is from Peter Cockrell at Already Not Yet, quoting Jared Wilson:The point should and must be Jesus. In all we say and do. Our churches can have the best quality presentations, the most dynamic speakers, the greatest lists of helpful tips for successful living (in convenient alliterative format), the most incredible music, the nicest greeters, the most enthusiastic congregations, and the best gourmet coffee in the fellowship hall — but if the point is anything other than Jesus, we've all missed the point.
Jesus cannot be peripheral. He cannot be merely included. He has to be at the forefront of our message and ministry.
Jesus is the point.
Because the gospel is Jesus + nothing.
This is the center of the Main and the Plain. Keep it on Jesus - His Cross, His Message, His Instructions, His Grace.
Nothing else worth talking about.
