I was reading CJ’s The Cross-Centered Life this morning. I try to review it about every 3 or 4 months because I tend to forget the gospel. (Incidentally, I think the apostle Paul that would happen to us; that’s why he tells Timothy to “remember Jesus Christ” 2 Tim 2:8.) CJ writes:

…you don’t need a background in drugs, or any other dramatic conversion experience, for the cross to be dear to you… when we hear the very bad news that we’re deserving of judgment we can appreciate the very good news that God has provided salvation through his son. (p. 13-15)

Then CJ quotes author John Stott:

All around us we see Christians and churches relaxing their grasp on the gospel, fumbling it, and in danger of letting it drop from their hands altogether. (p. 15)

What do you do each day so that you don’t “relax your grasp on the gopspel”, “fumble it”, or “let it drop altogether”?
