As I was preparing for tomorrow’s sermon, I found myself reflecting back over a resource we mentioned a few months back, called “A Gospel Primer” by Milton Vincent (available to download from here) and found this quote. 

Hope it encourages you today!

Milton Vincent: “God did not give us His gospel just so we could embrace it and be converted.  Actually, He offers it to us every day as a gift that keeps on giving to us everything we need for life and godliness…I have found nothing more powerful and life transforming than the gospel…Over the course of time, preaching the gospel to myself every day has made more of a difference in my life than any other discipline I have ever practiced.  I find myself sinning less, but just as importantly, I find myself recovering my footing more quickly after sinning, due to the immediate comfort found in the gospel.  I have also found that when I am absorbed in the gospel, everything else I am supposed to be towards God and others seems to flow out of me more naturally and passionately.  Doing right is never more easy than when one is breathing deeply the atmosphere of the gospel.  I’m confident that you will find the same to be true in your life as well.”
