1 Kings 8:31-66; Jeremiah 16:21; Philippians 1:21-2:11
Christ sent me…to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1 Cor. 1:17
When I preach the Gospel it must be clear and simple, so that the youngest can understand that all have sinned—that God loves every sinner; that the Lord Jesus shed His blood on the cross to pay for our sins and that He was raised from the dead, and overcame Satan. That He now calls all who genuinely desire to turn to God from their sin (that is repentance), to depend upon Christ and His shed blood (that is faith), and receive Him into their hearts, (that is the prayer of faith), to forgive them and deliver them from the power of their sin. —David Croudace
Tell me the old old story, of Jesus and His love,
Tell me the story simply, as to a little child,
For I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled. —K. Hankey
