Mastered by the Gospel
In this TGC roundtable, J. D. Greear, Greg Gilbert, and I talk about how gospel-centeredness must lead to mission. Evangelism requires contextualization. Good contextualization starts with the questions that people in contemporary culture are asking, but it necessarily moves us to bring in the additional questions the Bible would have us ask.
In the end, the point of gospel-centeredness and clarity regarding the gospel message is not that we will master the gospel but that the God of the gospel would master us. Right doctrine is vital. So is love for neighbor that represents the heart of Christ the King.
