I’m beginning a 12 week series of blog posts based on the book you see pictured above. If interested you can purchase it or simply check it out here.

John Calvin is credited with saying:

The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.

As you look, the title of the book is a strange one. In fact, that title will give you all sorts of options on books…some very far out. But as the front cover states this book is about living the gospel in front of people.

In my world, one of the number one excuses used for not following Christ is the lack of consistency in living a life of faith in front of people, i.e. too many hypocrites. Bobby’s challenge is for those of us who are Christ-followers to become visible representatives of the One we profess to love so much.

I think that is an excellent idea! People are tired of hearing us “voice” our beliefs and not “see” them fleshed out. Only when we are transformed by the gospel will we find our lives changed and then, in turn, being used to change other lives.

Can you/do you disagree?

That is the challenge I will be addressing over the next 12 weeks. I hope you will join me and join in the discussion. Your thoughts are appreciated.
