I have been preparing for Christian Associates’ 2nd annual North American conference called “Connect.” On Saturday morning at Connect, our 80 or so participants will wrestle with how we “embody the gospel communally.” The premise is that we default to expressing the good news in quite individualistic fashion, making it harder for normal people to really comprehend the beauty and breadth of God’s message in Christ for the world. The gospel is most clearly understand when embodied by communities that believe it and act as signs, foretastes and instruments of the now-and-not-yet Kingdom of God (as the great missiologist Lesslie Newbigin reminds us).

A great blog by my friend and colleague, Dan Steigerwald. He draws heavily from a short essay from Tim Keller as he addresses the many facets of the Gospel.
Let me know know what you think.
