Advancing the Gospel


Many of us feel we advance the Gospel through teaching, leading and work in the church. However, Paul said, “Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly” (Phil 1:12-14 NIV). People of faith sometimes forget that through the chains of disease, infirmity, circumstance and position in life, that we too have the opportunity to advance the Gospel of Christ.
