Thought drop | Paul’s eyes

I have come to the realization that most American Christian’s view of Jesus is shaped through Paul’s eyes much more than their own.

This is how you present the gospel

Stop trying to convince people to believe in God…because they already do.

I don’t know if Jeremy Rifkin intended to present the Gospel, but he did. Maybe it’s just me, because this is how my brain works. You may think you hear a pluralistic doctrine, but this talk doesn’t complete the story…it is merely a springboard to which the conversation can be completed. You can’t introduce Jesus until you can get this far in the conversation. I don’t know anything about Rifkin, I assume he is an atheist/humanist. I imagine your first reaction will be to consider what he is saying that is wrong, but look for the common ground you may have with this conversation.

Three Simple Truths

When you add these truths together, they form a foundation for living a life like Christ that is powerful and infectious.

#1 :: God loves every person on this earth more than I am capable of understanding

#2 :: Every person on this earth is equally guilty and deserves the same thing and they know it

#3 :: We have the mind of Christ

What does that add up to?
