The Gospel
You know, every Sunday night for the past few weeks my wife and I have watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on ABC...or at least the end of it. I must admit that I love it. At the end of every show, there are these excited people who basically get brand new houses that they would never have been able to afford. Tonights show had them re-doing a house for a family living in Watts. The teenage boy of the family now had a bed to sleep on and he drops to his knees in thanks. Everyone is so excited, happy, and they keep using the words "blessing" and "blessed". Several shows have ended with individuals or groups singing hymns of praise and thanks. It seems so natural.

Isn't this what it should be like to share the good news? What can we do as churches and communities of believers to bring such news--through action--to others?

If you haven't seen the show...watch it next week and see if thoughts of the Gospel and what Christ's Church should be don't cross your mind.

Note: Jesse Willard...I need you to kick my butt about things like Habitat.
