i agree that the gospel is a bit more complex and involving that that verse, but it is not simpler. I can draw out the gospel in conversation with someone and have it last half an hour if I wanted to- which is what I usually do want. Having a life story and sharing that with people is important, but it always must be more than that.

Well i must say one thing. Look at every reference to the word GOSPEL in the new testament and tell me if you still think that the gospel is so basic as what is quoted from corinthians, I do not disagree, but rather think that what is stated is merely, a portion of what the gospel is. besides go out and start a conversation with that and keep a tally of how many of them last for more than two minutes and i’ll bet in today’s reality of how the americanized world sees Christians, that you will have less than five in a months worth of conversations. if you first have a life story that speaks for you, then you will find that it becomes “necessary” to use words. Grace and Peace.

Well said, my friend. I thought of James, which you referenced, as I read through this. A saving kind of faith is a faith that preaches the gospel in word and deed. Thanks for challenging the norm.
