\"\"We are hounded by bad news all the time and its effects are obvious: anger, anxiety, and fear dominate many lives on a steady diet of bad news. <\/p>\n

While a diet of bad news is a problem, perhaps a more insidious problem facing the church is the undermining of our proclamation of good news. We have been charged to spread the greatest of all news\u2014the salvation brought through the works of Jesus, yet in many of our minds this news has been twisted into something that\u2019s not really gospel at all. It\u2019s almost<\/em> good news and produces almost<\/em> Christians.<\/p>\n

In this series, we are going to explore subtle mistruths about the gospel that seem so close to the truth but set us on a trajectory away from God. <\/p>\n
