so close but you forgot the cross

2nd time in two days

I dont agree with TD Jakes that often but this article is pretty good, minus that fact of the reason why we do church. While the first paragraph has the most gospel in it, the rest is very social justice and equality heavy, which is awesome. I think he is right. Then he comes to this paragraph:
"I am wondering who will get the message that our nation's citizens are by and large looking for a voice that will unite us, clothe our naked, feed the poor and help our diminishing middle class before we self-destruct like many great empires of the past. Who cares what color they are, what banner they fly, what gender they are, or how they pronounce their names? This is a defining moment in our history, and we are about to destroy greatness with petty self- aggrandizing egotism!"

Do we not see that this is the gospel and this man in the Person of Jesus Christ has come, who showed equality and charity and love and sacrifice and mercy? Jesus is that name and the voice of the real gospel, the one of the bible, not the one that is made in the human mind.
