Gospel Rant

Dr Bill is taking us on an informative and provocative journey through the Sermon on the Mount. It is the capstone of the entire gospel message of Jesus. If we don’t understand what Jesus is saying and means to say, it will affect our experience of Him and His Spirit. We think that your life will be changed as you wrestle with us on this path.About it, Frederick Bruner writes, “I think something actually happens to listening people when Jesus’ Beatitudes are passed on to them…The Beatitudes are concentrated Gospel…The person for whom the experience of impoverishment is a spiritual crisis, who groans in his or her spirit under the poverty, who is on the way down and who cries out—to this person Jesus announces, “Look up! I am here, taking your part, and the Kingdom I bring is especially for you!” (160)The Sermon on the Mount is the core foundation for all the rest of Jesus’ gospel.

There are two passages that have challenged and shaped the passion and calling of Gospel App Ministries--and of course The Gospel Rant. They are Eph 3:14-21, where we learn of the "secret working" of the Holy Spirit in our inner-being, and the Sermon on the Mount-- Jesus' marching orders to his disciples.

This ain’t your parent’s Sunday School class. We have got nothing personally against Sunday School. Our main host, Dr. Bill Senyard was a Lead Pastor for over 25 years. It's just that churches serve a declining number people—each loved by God. Did you know that 2/3rds of young adults have left churches. One researcher has predicted that 20% of churches shutter their doors in the next 18 months. In 1990, only 7% of Americans reported having no religion. Thirty years later, in 2020, the percentage claiming to be nonreligious had quadrupled, with almost 3 in 10 Americans having no religion. There are now more nonreligious Americans than affiliates of any one single religious tradition, including the two largest: Catholicism and evangelical Protestantism. We are a single generation from becoming a post-Christian nation. Why? You may not like these reasons or you may get defensive but here they are.1) Churches are seen as largely irrelevant2) Churches are considered unsafe places 3) Churches are just irrelevant,

We have a problem forgiving--big time. This is partly due to a deep misunderstanding of what biblical forgiving is all about. Tragic. This is why we created The Forgiving Path. Does it help real Christians forgive real hurts and wounds? Yep, and we can prove it. It is evidence based. Here is a podcast testimony of one participant who recently did The Path. Enjoy.
