Christians who only attend church and fellowship are "hearers only, deceiving their own selves" (Jas.1.22b). Christ commands us to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15).

Its simple to preach the gospel when we know what it is. Just say good morning, afternoon or evening. Then say - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). In so doing we save our country from its wickedness (1Cor.4.15b and 1Jn.1.3&5.19).

LIVE IT
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16.15).

People are born again (saved) by preaching the gospel to them (Mk16.16, 1Cor.4.15b & Eph.6.19-20). It's how we live it.

It's not a warm feeling or good works that save people. The preaching of the gospel does (Mk.16.15 -16 & 1Cor.4.15b)! It's the best way to show love because it gives them the opportunity to believe on Christ, be saved (Jn.1.12, Acts16.31) and have eternal life (Jn.3.15).

We also show our love to Christ by preaching the gospel (Mk.16.15). He says - "If you love me keep my commandments (Jn.14.15 & 21)." By preaching the gospel God's two greatest commandments are fulfilled; to Love God and love our neighbor (Mt.22.36-39). God also commands us to make disciples (Mt.28.19). We do this by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it, ([subtitle] Mt.18.20 & 28.20 and 1Cor.4.15b). It's called the 'Great Commission'.

By keeping the 'Great Commission' (Mk.16.15 & Mt.28.20) the world is saved from its wickedness (1Cor.4.15b & 1Jn.1.3 & 5.19). And when the gospel is preached to every one in the world (subtitle) he will return. Then we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51-53, 1Thes.4.13-18 and Tit.2.13). How can we keep Christ's commandments to preach the gospel and teach others to preach it if we don't know what it is?

I attended several different Christian denominations over thirty years searching for the right church and none of them taught me what the gospel is! They have replaced it with their own doctrines, Evangelicals with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholics with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharest (Communion). Instead of keeping Christ's commandment to preach the gospel we merely attend church. Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion has instituted for profit. He says - "If you love me keep my commandments" (Jn.14.15 & 21). If they teach us to preach the gospel the world becomes our church and pulpit, as Christ commands (subtitle). We don't have to go to their so-called churches. Then who will pay their salaries and for their fancy buildings and Seminaries?

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.). He forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9), as today's so-called churches are doing (prior paragraph). To preach it we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). This is the same gospel Paul received and preached, the gospel according to the scriptures (v.3-4). It saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16 & 1Cor.4.15b) when we speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b) as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3).

By preaching the gospel (Mk.16.15) and teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b) we fulfill God's two greatest commandments. We are to love Him with all our heart (Jn.14.15&21) and to love our neighbor as ourself (Mt.22.36-39). Hereby the world is saved from its wickedness (Mk.16.15-16, 1Cor.4.15b, 1Jn.1.3 & 5.19).

We 'live it' by preaching the gospel not by a warm fuzzy feeling or good works. Then when Christ's commandment to preach it to every one in the world (Mk.16.15) is fulfilled he will return. At this time we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51-53, 1Thes.4.13-18 and Tit.2.13). Live it!

FAMILY
"But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6.33).

Family and education are two of the biggest gods. The education god serves the money god which is the largest god in the world. Practically everybody bows down to money and serves it.

But Christ says - "He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me" (Mt.10.37). God is a jealous God. We shall have no other gods before him, even family. He punishes to the third and fourth generation those who hate him (Ex.20.5).

"Then one said to him, Behold, your mother and brethren stand without, desiring to speak with you. But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! Whoever does the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother" (Mt. 12.47-50).

The instant we believed on Christ's name (Jn.1.12) after somebody preached the gospel to us (1Cor.4.15b) we were born of God (1Jn.5.1), a new creature (2Cor.5.17) born again of the Spirit (Jn.3.5-7). This, not religion, is what really matters (Gal.6.15-16). "For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth" (Eph.5.9). "... love, joy, peace... against such there is no law" (Gal.5.19-21 abbreviated).

Christ promises everything we need when we forsake all, follow him and do God's will (Mt.6.33 Lk.14.33 & Phil.4.19). My income quintipled within three months after I quit my job and started preaching the gospel full time. (See MY TESTIMONY at Good News Church Tacloban on Facebook.). What would you rather have? Everything you need or a million dollars? The best answer is everything we need. This is what God promises when we put him above family, education and money (Lk.14.33). And it is impossible for Him to lie (Heb.6.18).

It is our duty to preach the gospel (Mk.16.15) and teach at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20&28.20 and 1Cor.4.15b) so that others might believe on Christ and be saved (Jn.1.12, Acts 16.31 and 1Cor.4.15b). It's how we do God's will and are Christ's family (Mt
12.50 above). And when Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mk.16.15)." is fulfilled he will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51-53, 1Thes.4.13-18 and Tit.2.13).

But how can we preach the gospel if we don't know what it is? Today's so-called churches have replaced it with their own doctrines. For if we know what the gospel is the world becomes our church and pulpit, as Christ commands (Mk.16.15 below). We don't have to attend their building(s) once or twice a week. Then who will pay their salaries and for their fancy buildings and Seminaries? Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion has instituted for profit. He says - "If you love me keep my commandments" (Jn.14.15). And his great commandment is - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15).

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (1Cor.15.1-4) and forbids the preaching of any other gospel. To preach it we simply have to declare to people how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.).

We do God's will by preaching the gospel (Mk.16.15 above) and teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b). Hereby the world is saved.

Let's not make God jealous by having other gods before him (Ex.20.5). The education god serves the money God. They, along with the family god are the biggest gods in the world.

ELEGANT PREACHING
"I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2.1-2).

Billy Graham was the greatest evangelist of our time. His sermons reached millions of people in crusades in our country and around the world over fifty years and are responsible for the greatness of our country. But believe it or not, it wasn't his elegant preaching or altar calls that saved people.

The simple gospel message in his sermons saved every one that believed before they went to the altar to say a prayer of salvation (Acts 16.31, Rom.1.16, subtitle & 1Cor.4.15b). But sadly, the gospel is not being preached since the death of Reverend Graham in 2018. Therefore our greatness is fading. Sin is starting to prevailing over righteousness in our nation (Pr.14.34).

The problem is that Reverend Graham's converts were sent to local churches where they became "hearers only, deceiving their own selves" (Jas.1.22b). This is because today's so-called churches have replaced the gospel with their own doctrines that can only be preached from a pulpit. Evangelicals have replaced it with their 'plan of salvation' and Catholics with their 'gospel of good works' and Eucharest (communion). The Apostle Paul prohibited the preaching of any other gospel than the one he preached (Gal.1.8-9). But how can we preach it if we don't know what it is?

We can only attend church and invite people to listen to our pastors elegant sermons. We don't keep Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15). The good news is that we can preach the simple gospel message in Reverend Graham's sermons. And by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it we fulfill Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15) - 'Great Commission'. By this our nation is saved from its wickedness (1Cor.4.15b and 1Jn.1.3 & 5.19). If the gospel is not preached, however, our country will fall further into sin and eventually be destroyed (Jn.10.10a).

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the Church in the city of Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4). To preach it we simply (subtitle & 2Cor.11.3) have to declare to people as we go (Mt.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). This is the same gospel Paul received and preached, the gospel according to the scriptures (v.3-4). It is the power of God to save every one that believes (Rom.1.16 & 1Cor.4.15b) when we speak it to them in person (preach it, 1 Cor..21b), as the Apostle Paul (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19), Rev. Graham and Christ's other disciples did (Mt.28.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone.

Now that we know what the gospel is (1Cor.15.3-4) we don't have to be "hearers only, deceiving our own selves" (Jas.1.22b). Instead of merely attending church we can keep Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15).

By preaching the simple gospel message (subtitle) and teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it our country will be saved from its wickedness (1Cor.4.15b and 1Jn.1.12 & 5.19). Righteousness will once again exalt our nation (Pr.14.34).

CHURCH OR SOCIAL CLUB?
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16.15).

If a church is not preaching the gospel in the world, as Christ commands (subtitle), at best they are a social club. At worst they are a den of thieves. "You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell" (Mt.23:33)?

A person receives Christ and is born again of the Spirit (Jn.1.12 & 3.5-7) the instant they believe on Christ's name after the gospel is preached to them (Acts 16.31, Rom.1.16 & 10.14b and 1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b). What are today's Christians doing if they aren't preaching the gospel?

I attended almost every Christian denomination over thirty years searching for the right church and none of them taught me what the gospel is! I went to the building every time the doors were open, but never preached the gospel. How could I? I didn't know what it is. I merely attended church. I was a hearer only, deceiving my own self (Jas.1.22b).

Then one day, after all those years I came across a passage of scripture in which the Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel (1Cor.15.1-4). Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion has instituted. He says - "If you love me keep my commandments" (Jn.14.15&21). His great commandment is for us to preach the gospel to every one in the world (subtitle). It is fulfilled by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 and 1Cor.4.15b). We all these two commandments of Christ the 'Great Commission'.

To preach the gospel we simply have to declare to people as we go (subtitle and Eph.6.15b) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor 15.3-4 abbr.). This is the gospel according to the scriptures, the same gospel Paul received and preached (1Cor.15.3-4). It saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16) when we speak it to them in person (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b), as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone (2Cor.1.21b & 4.15b).

Now that we know what the gospel is there is no excuse for not keeping Christ's commandment to preach it (subtitle). Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion haa instituted. He commands us to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk. 16.15).

Will we be hearers only, deceiving our own selves (Jas.1.22b) and merely attend church? Or will we obey Christ's commandments to preach the gospel (subtitle) and teach at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.
18.20, 28.20 and 1Cor.4.15b).

If a church is not preaching the gospel in the world they are at best a social club. At worst they are a den of thieves (Mt.21.13). "You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell" (Mt.23:33)?

WITHOUT VISION
"Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29.18a)...

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16.15).

"Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time" (Colossians 4:5). We redeem the time (Eph.5.16 & Col.4.5) by staying focused on short-term and long-term goals. Short-term are daily activities. And long-term are lifetime goals. Without them we have no vision.

If we stay focused on our goals we live a fruitful life (Jn.15.8). In our day to day activities we should be asking ourselves, "What am I going to do next? God gives us wisdom if we lack it. We just have to ask him for it (Jas.1.5). Our longterm goals should be tied to our short term goals. Getting to heaven is a longterm goal. Living godly would be short term when broken down into daily activivities like bible reading, prayer, fellowship and preaching the gospel.

Preaching the gospel as we go is the best way to sow to the Spirit. It's how we abide in Christ (the vine) and are fruitful (Jn.15.5&8). For when we confess Christ before men he confesses us before his Father in heaven (Mt.10.32) and we are blessed (Pr.10.22) and saved, along with the world (Mk.16.15-16 & Rom.10.9). But when we deny Christ before men he denies us before his Father in heaven (Mt.10.33). We lose our vision and perish (subtitle). But how can we preach the gospel if we don't know what it is?

I attended several different Christian denominations over 30 years searching for the right church and none of them taught me what the gospel is! So I merely attended church. I was a "hearer only, deceiving my own self (Jas.1.22)." I couldn't keep Christ's commandment to preach the gospel (subtitle) because I didn't know what it is. I was there every time the doors were open. But I couldn't keep Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15). What a wasted 30 years!

Staying focused on our long-term and short-term goals keep us on course to live a fruitful life (Jn.15.5). I was a defeeted (pun intended) Christian because I was missing part of the full armor of God, going into battle barefooted (Eph.6.15). I had no vision. Then one day while reading my bible I found it! The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.). And he forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9), as today's so-called churches are doing. Evangelicals have replaced it with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholics with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharest (communion).

To preach the same gospel Paul defines in his letter (1Cor.15.1-4) we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.)." This is the gospel according to the scriptures, the same gospel Paul received and preached (v.3-4). It is the power of God to save everyone that believes (Rom.1.16 & 1Cor. 4.15b). We must speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21), as Paul (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, Eph.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3). The gospel also saves people when we preach it to them over the phone.

Now that we know what the gospel is we have vision. We can keep Christ's commandment to preach it (subtitle). So we no longer have ro be "hearers only, deceiving our own selves" (Jas.1.22b).

Our long-term vision of going to heaven can be divided into short term goals like prayer, reading the bible, fellowship and most importantly preaching the gospel.

By keeping our longterm and short-term goals we save ourselves (Rom.10.9), our country and the world (Mk.16.15-16 and 1Jn.1.3 & 5.19).

LOVE THEM!
"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes" (Romans 1.16a)...

There is a common misconception that all we have to do to win somebody to Christ is love them. People are born again (saved) by preaching the gospel to them (Mk.16.15-16, subtitle, 1Cor.4.15b & Eph.6.19-20). (Jn.3.5-7).

It's not a warm feeling or good works that save a person, but the preaching of the gospel (Mk.16.15 - 16 & subtitle)! Preaching the gospel is the best way to show love to a person because it gives them the opportunity to believe on Christ, be saved (Jn.1.12, Acts16.31) and have eternal life (Jn.3.15).

Our love is also shown to Christ by preaching the gospel (Mk.16.15). He says - "If you love me keep my commandments (Jn.14.15 & 21)." By preaching the gospel to people God's two greatest commandments are fulfilled to Love God and love our neighbor as ourself (Mt.22.36-39). God also commands us to make disciples (Mt.28.19). We do this by teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mk.16.15, Mt.18.20 & 28.20 and 1Cor.4.15b).

By keeping Christ's great commandments the world is saved from its wickedness (1Cor.4.15b & 1Jn.1.3 & 5.19). And when Christs commandment to preach the gospel to every one in the world (Mk.16.15) is fulfilled he will return. And we will meet him in the clouds to be with him forever, the blessed hope (Mt.24.14 & 30-31, 1Cor.15.51-53, 1Thes.4.13-18 and Tit.2.13). But how can we keep Christ's commandment to preach the gospel if we don't know what it is?

I attended several different Christian denominations over thirty years searching for the right church and none of them taught me what the gospel is! They have replaced it with their own doctrines; Evangelicals with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholics with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharest (Communion). So instead of keeping Christ's commandment to preach the gospel we merely attend church. Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion has instituted. He says - "If you love me keep my commandments" (Jn.14.15 & 21). But if they teach us to preach the gospel the world becomes our church and pulpit, as Christ commands (Mk.16.15). We don't need a church building. Then who will pay their salaries and for their fancy buildings and Seminaries?

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.). And he forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9), as today's so-called churches are doing (5th paragraph). To preach it we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.)." This is the gospel according to the scriptures, the same gospel Paul received and preached (v.3-4). And it saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16) when we speak it to them in person with our mouth (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b) as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3).

By preaching the gospel (Mk.16.15) and teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b) we fulfill God's two greatest commandments, to love Him with all our heart (Jn.14.15&21) and to love our neighbor as ourself (Mt.22.36-39). Hereby the world is saved from its wickedness (Mk.16.15-16, 1Cor.4.15b, 1Jn.1.3 & 5.19).

We love God and our neighbor by preaching the gospel to them, not by a warm fuzzy feeling or good works. The gospel saves!

WORSHIP CHRIST?
"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (Romans 1:16).

Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion has instituted for profit. He says - "If you love me keep my commandments (Jn.14.15 & 21)." And his great commandment is - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mk.16.15)." To fulfill it we must teach at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b). Together these two commandments of Christ make up the 'Great Commission'.

Today's so-called church services revolve around worshipping Christ. And they have replaced the simple gospel message with their own doctrines. Evangelicals have replaced it with their 'Plan of Salvation' and Catholics with their 'Gospel of Good Works' and Eucharist (communion). So instead of keeping Christ's commandment to preach the gospel Christians merely attend church. They are hearers only, deceiving their own selves (Jas.1.22b). And because the gospel is not being preached the world lies in wickedness (1Jn.5.19). People are dead in trespasses and sins (Eph.2.1), as we were before we were born again of the Spirit (Jn.3.5-7) by believing on his name after somebody preached the gospel to us (Jn.1.12 & 1Cor.4.15b).

Sadly, the gospel has not been preached since the death of Reverend Billy Graham in 2018. He preached it to millions of people over fifty years in crusades in the USA and around the world (Google). But it wasn't his elegant sermons or altar calls that saved people (1Cor.2.1). The simple gospel message in his sermons saved every one that believed before they went to the altar (Acts 16.31 and 1Cor.4.15b). The problem is that his converts were sent to local churches under the auspice of worshipping Christ (See first paragraph.). They became hearers only (Jas.1.22b). The good news is that we can preach the simple gospel message Reverend Graham included in his sermons. Hereby our country is be saved from its wickedness (1Jn.1.3 & 5.19).

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.) and strictly forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9), as today's churches are doing (See 2nd paragraph.). To preach it (Rom.10.14 & 1Cor.1.21b) we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). This is the gospel according to the scriptures, the same gospel Billy Graham included in his sermons and Paul received and preached (1Cor.15.3-4). It saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16) when we speak it to them in person (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b) as the Reverend Graham, the Apostle Paul (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3).

Christ does not say to worship him in a building, as religion has instituted He commands us to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15).

The simple gospel message saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16) when we speak it to them in person (preach it, 1Cor1.21b) . We don't have to be an elegant preacher (1Cor.2.1).

We simply have to declare it to people as we go and teach at least one person we beget through the gospel to do the same, the 'Great Commission'.

Do we love him enough to keep his great commandment (Mk.16.15 above and Jn.14.15 & 21)?

WHO IS YOUR FATHER?
"The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10.10).

There are only two kinds of people in the world, those who are of their father the devil (Jn.8.44) and those who are born of God (1Jn.5.1) and their Father is in heaven (Mt.6.9).

Regardless of race, religion or creed we either belong to God or we belong to the devil. God is no respector of persons (Rom.2.11 & Eph.6.9). We received Christ the instant we believed on his name (Jn.1.12) after the gospel was preached to us (1Cor.4.15b).

We either believe or we don't believe, unless of course we haven't had the opportunity to have the gospel preached to us. In this case we still belong to the devil because we are all born in sin (Ps.51.5 & Rom.3.23). This is why it is so important for believers to obey Christ's commandment to - "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mk.16.15).

By preaching the gospel (Mk.16.15 above) and teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b) the world is saved from its wickedness (1Cor.4.15b and 1Jn.1.3&5.19). Sadly, the gospel is not being preached since the death of Billy Graham in 2018. Therefore the children of the devil (Jn.8.44 are beginning to outnumber the children of God (Mt.6.9 & Jn.1.12) causing sin to prevail over righteousness and destroy our nation (Pr.14.34 & Jn.10.10).

Reverend Graham preached the gospel to millions of people over 50 years in crusades in our country and abroad. This is what made our nation great. It wasn't his elegant preaching or altar calls that saved people. The simple gospel message in his sermons saved every one who believed before they went to the altar. The problem is that his converts were sent to local churches where they became "hears only, deceiving their own selves" (Jas.1.22b). Instead of preaching the gospel they merely attend church. We too can preach the simple gospel message, thereby causing righteousness to once again prevail over sin and exalt our nation (Pr.14.34).

The Apostle Paul clearly defines the gospel in his first letter to the church in Corinth (See 1Cor.15.1-4.) and strictly forbade the preaching of any other gospel (Gal.1.8-9). To preach it (Rom.10.14) we simply have to declare to people as we go (Mk.16.15 & Eph.6.15) how that - "Christ died for our sins; He was buried, and he rose the third day" (1Cor.15.3-4 abbr.). This is the gospel according to the scriptures, the same gospel Paul himself received and preached (1Cor.15.3-4). It saves every one that believes (Rom.1.16) when we speak it to them in person (preach it, 1Cor.1.21b & 4.15b) as he (Col.4.3-4 & Eph.6.19-20) and Christ's other disciples did (Mk.16.20, Acts 8.4 & 11.19-21, Rom.10.14-15, 1Cor.15.11, 1Thes.1.8 and 1Jn.1.3).

Now that we know what the gospel is we can keep Christ's commandment to preach it (Mk.16.15 above.). By teaching at least one person we beget through the gospel to preach it (Mt.18.20, 28.20 & 1Cor.4.15b) our nation is saved from its wickedness (1Jn.1.3& 5.19). The children of God will once again outnumber the children of the devil causing righteousness to prevail over sin and exalt our nation (Pr.14.34). Who is your father?
