I have a dream.  

            It is that you (and every child, teen and adult) 

·         Know what the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ is.

·         Actually believe that the Gospel is the foundation for all joy, success,
    confidence, and human flourishing.

·         Know that this is true for yourself.

·         Are able to explain to another why and how this is true.

·         Actually do find ways to tell others this Good News. 

           After reflecting on the earliest (dating back to the 30’s AD) Gospel proclamations
           found in the Bible (1 Cor. 15:3-5, Rom. 10:9 and I added in Rev. 21:5) I took the
          challenge to tweet the Gospel in 144 characters or less.  Here’s my best shot and I
          did it with 17 characters left over!

                                     In Jesus God came to earth  
                                     Died for our sins
                                     Was raised from the dead
                                     Rules the universe and
                                     Is making all things new.

                  Now, here’s your assignment which is a great spiritual exercise!   One at a time
                  match each of the five beliefs/actions above to this Gospel summary.   I would
                  love to know how you do!!!!
