Full Disclosure Gospel


Just got home from a great home Bible study and a request was made to post a small flyer I made for our discussion called, "Full Disclosure Gospel."

This project was born out of a discussion that my wife and I have been talking about for some time and how many people we meet are only getting a small part of the gospel truth and missing large portions of the essential truth.

I would encourage you to do what we did tonight. Follow the link to my church website (www.fcog.us) and click the "Full Disclosure Gospel" image. You will get a printable copy of the flier in PDF form (you will need a free copy of Adobe Reader). Read through each point and look up the scriptures. Each time ask yourself if you believe the points and if they are essential for salvation in Jesus Christ.

Of course I am not saying that you can't be saved if you aren't clear on every point, but your confidence in your salvation can be greatly increased by making sure you understand and embrace each essential building block of the gospel.

Forgiveness in Jesus Christ is free, but it's not cheap. I register each day to win a free home from HGTV but if I were to win it would cost me to keep the home. It's free but even a free home comes with a cost to the person who receives the gift. The same is true for the gift of salvation from Jesus Christ.

If you like the flyer and use it, I would love to hear how you used it and what the results were. If you are stuck on any of the ten full disclosure points, drop me a note on my blog and let me know your question.

Reading the small print is important!

Finding Real Change & Freedom

Over the last twenty years of ministry there are a few tools that really have made a difference in the lives of people struggling with thoughts, habits, and other out of control influences in their lives. "Bondage Breaker" is one of those tools I would not be without.

If you want to know victory in your life and freedom to live out your faith in Christ, then you need to get this book as a basic primer for a new life in Christ.

A word of caution though...this book alone is not enough. Just reading the words and having it sit on your shelf will not bring the amazing power and freedom you can know through faith in Jesus Christ. The real power found in this book is discovered through skilled and experienced coaching.

I have used this tool as a spiritual coach with many struggling people. With the right questions and the careful consideration of our experience in the light of the Word of God, we can find together those life changing moments that will bring really freedom.

Get the book, used or new, and read it for yourself. Then send an email and we will begin your coaching to a new life walking in the power of the Spirit.

I waiting for your emails!
