Just another religion?

The early church grew rapidly because they had powerful, new message (Acts 4:4). The gospel has become “old news” in our culture and the church is anemic. We must rediscover the novelty of our message and its potential to change lives. We don’t need to make up a new message or concoct fake miracles to verify it. We need to preach the authentic gospel to those for whom it is new and powerful. Two venues come to mind: children and foreigners from “non-Christian” countries. These groups have not been exposed to an unapplied, adulterated gospel. Their experience with Christianity may still be unbiased. Lord, show me where to preach your word and give me opportunity!
