For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes...
Romans 1:16 NIV
Peter said that he would never deny Jesus, but then went on to do it 3 times.
At least once today someone will ask me what I did on the weekend or how my weekend was.
Am I going to say that the highlight was going to church on Sunday? And what I learned?
Easiest thing to do...yet sometimes the hardest.
Am I ashamed?
Actually I agree with Paul. The gospel is the answer to the spiritual hunger in the world and is freely available to all who ask...
And we have all been called to represent that gospel, that good news in some way...big or small, in the world we live in.
How was your weekend?

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
