DO NOT BE ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
And yet he said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek” (Romans 1: 16). This was the basis for a divine service in Roissy-en-France
People don’t talk about their faith for fear of being marginalised or rejected. People are afraid of being laughed at because the gospel is seen as an outdated doctrine for the uneducated. They are ashamed of all the mistakes that Christians have made.
“If we are asked to defend our values, then we do not need to be ashamed of the gospel,” the Chief Apostle emphasised, saying that no one should be ashamed to speak out and say, “No, I believe in Christian values, I believe in the commandments, I believe in Christ.”
“The most extreme, the most idiotic, the most far-fetched ideas” are being promoted and aired today and demand respect. “Why should Christians remain silent? There is no reason for this. Why should we be ashamed of the gospel, of defending Christian values?”
