The Gospel is not Information

At a recent meeting with pastors in Fort Collins, Colorado, I had the opportunity to lead a conversation that focused on living missionally. One of the pastors, Ben Yarbro, made this insightful statement:

"We treat the gospel as data - as information to be given to someone."
The gospel isn't for information - but for transformation!
