What is the gospel of Jesus Christ?
The bad news: we have sinned against God, rejecting Him to try to be our own master.
The good news: there is a way for our relationship to be restored!
If you long for justice, peace, hope, love...this is it:

Every gun, mine, and guard tower on the Berlin Wall was pointed at East Germans.
In 1957, the communist regime in East Germany made unauthorized emigration treason after an estimated 2.5 million people voted with their feet, fleeing the communist East towards the West.
So in 1961, the authorities closed the border, called the wall “the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart”, and gave border guards shoot to kill orders.
People only ever risked their lives escaping in one direction.

You should listen to survivors like me, instead of your Marxist professors. Want to debate me?
A 92-year-old North Carolina man got so bored 2 months into retirement that he applied to work at Chick-fil-A...
...his smile, kindness, and passion for Jesus became so contagious that when he got sick and missed 3 days of work, an ENTIRE TOWN began asking where he was.
His name is Gilbert Martin.
Everybody calls him "Mr. Gil."
Mr. Gil is 92 years old, and works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, NC.
He spent decades working in the natural gas industry and when he retired, he greeted people at Sam's Club for 12 MORE years, until they eliminated his position.
Most people would call that a sign to finally rest, but not Mr. Gil!
Two months into retirement, he got bored... so he walked into Chick-fil-A and put in an application.
He was 86 years old at the time.
He's been there ever since.
Not one or two shifts a week either. Monday through Friday.
He says the full schedule gives him more chances to be there for people who need him.
His official job is dining host.
Clean tables.
Clean floors.
But Mr Gil doesn't see it that way... as he describes it, his real job is:
"I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news... I'm able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that."
A 92-year-old man who could be resting at home... chooses to stand in a dining room five days a week... so strangers on the worst day of their lives don't have to be alone.
And Wilmington noticed.
When Mr. Gil caught a cold and missed a couple of days, the owner said he was FLOODED with HUNDREDS of customers who were panicked about him.
Mr. Gil has zero plans to retire.
He says if you ever see him working, come say hi.
"I don't know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great. Serving others has always brought me joy because I believe that a smile and a kind word can make someone's day a little brighter.”
We need more of this in the world!!!!
@omoplatic@SoulJack013@Srgio727@the_christnats You are astonishingly historically ignorant.
The British bought slaves from African tribes who not only had already been enslaving each other, but are STILL TODAY enslaving each other!
Born at 25 weeks.
Legal to abort at 25 weeks in more than 25 states in America.
Giancarlo is who they say is not a human being. They would have been ok if he had been ripped from his mother’s womb.
DAILY in the United States 20-25 abortions happen at 21 weeks+ gestation.
Church: Stop romanticizing the idea that Muslims and Jews are somehow “almost there” faith side.
Islam rejects Christ. That’s not “almost” right: it’s completely wrong.
Muslims don’t need sentimental unity. They need the gospel. Same as Hindus, Buddhists, atheists and Mormons.
Stop treating Islam like it’s halfway home. Muhammad wasn’t an Ishmaelite. Islam isn’t Abrahamic. If Abraham had a passport, Mecca wouldn’t be stamped in it.
The only son of promise is fulfilled in Christ. The only seed is Christ. The only path to God is through Him. Stop idolizing theological fan fiction and go teach the truth of the gospel.

Nick Freitas absolutely nails it. Cultures are not all equal. Some cultures contain ideas that are evil and drive people to commit atrocities, and it is NOT racist to point it out or to fight against such cultures.

@HumzaYousaf No, I think I'm going to stand and speak against Islam even harder.
Islam is wholly incompatible with western civilization. Go live in one of the countries it's already ruined, you've got dozens to pick from!
@RachelLeishman People have flaws, and working to overcome flaws makes for a good character arc. But saying that having flaws is what makes someone perfect is nonsense backward speak. It's inherently self-contradictory.
You know what's been lighting me on fire lately?
The more Muslims I talk to, the more I realize many of them already have a heart that longs for Christ.
Think about it.
If you wake up before sunrise to seek God...
If you genuinely want to obey Him...
If you grieve your sin...
If you fight to stay pure in a world that celebrates darkness...
Those desires don't prove you're far from God: They reveal a heart that was made for Him.
As a Muslim, I was taught that Christianity was shirk, the ultimate deception. But what if the Gospel is actually the fulfillment of the longing that's been in your heart all along?
Because that's what happened to me.
I wasn't running toward Jesus.
I was trying to disprove Him.
Yet the closer I looked, the more I realized I wasn't miles away from Him.
I was standing at the front door, afraid to knock.
And when I finally did, I didn't find condemnation.
I found scars: Proof that He came looking for me long before I ever started looking for Him.
So if you're Muslim and you're searching, questioning, or wrestling, don't assume you're far away.
You may be one honest prayer away from everything changing. I know I was.
@Colgruv@AlejandroCO303@Grand_Ole_Evan 96% of biologists believe that life begins at fertilization.
What's a bigger denial of autonomy than to take away someone's life, therefore robbing them of every future decision they would ever have had?
