What to call this Blog?

What to call this blog? I chose the title “After the Gospel” to highlight the work that has to be done after the Gospel is preached and people are saved. Have no doubt, whenever the Gospel is preached, people are saved. Even a little seed will find it’s way to good soil. The more power in the heart of the one preaching the Gospel, the more people will be saved. The notion today that we need to be aware of context, culture and location before preaching the Gospel is interesting (Hudson Taylor partly believed that), but when the Gospel is preached with power, people will be saved, no matter when, where, who, what, or whatever the context is.

But, what do you do after the Gospel is preached? In Acts 14:21-22, we have an answer. The apostles preached the Gospel, began churches, and left. Sounds like today’s itinerant gospel salesmen (tent revivalists and side-show barkers, and snake-oil salesmen). The difference was in verse 22. They returned after a while to see how everyone was doing. In the process they appointed elders, and taught the message the Lord had given them, “Through many tribulations we must enter the Kingdom of God”. Whoa! There’s a message you don’t hear today. Did it die 2000 years ago? No, that is the whole point of this blog.

There is a message to give “After the Gospel”.

More to follow later. I hope I am not boring.
