The Gospel according to Ralph / re|ACTS Week 27 Message recap

The Big Idea: The Gospel is a glorious wrecking ball.

Here are some social media highlights from this week's message. Simply copy and paste them into your Twitter and/or Facebook feed.

The Gospel is a glorious wrecking ball that wrecks our value systems, our religious practices and even our ideas about the Gospel itself.

If we truly understand the message of the Gospel, it will disturb us. (Acts 19:23)

The Gospel is confrontational, not comfortable. It wrecks the status quo, and disturbs our plans.

The Gospel is not a call to safety. It is a call to surrender our lives to a King so he can use our lives to build his kingdom.

The Gospel wrecks our value systems, and that means that as our hearts change, our spending will, too.

Sin is a profitable industry. Don't think there won't be rioting as the Gospel takes root in the hearts of men and changes how we spend.

The gambling, alcohol and porn industries will likely go bankrupt when the Gospel ushers in nationwide revival.

We love religion because it allows us to look and feel changed without actually being changed. The Gospel wrecks that.

Religion doesn't ask for your life, just parts of it. It doesn't require your heart, just your actions.

Religion is about us; the Gospel is about Jesus. Religion points to our good works; the Gospel points to Jesus' work on the cross.

The Gospel (Jesus) wrecks us to rebuild us. The devil wrecks us to remove us. The difference is who holds the hammer and the pieces.

We can't be wrecked over the sins of the world until we're fully wrecked over our own.
