Preaching the Gospel of Salvation: A Practical Application

Published: Sept. 25, 2019, 4 p.m.

I\\u2019m your host, Mike "Gomer" Gormley but I am not joined by my illustrious co-host, Dave \\u201cThe Bearded Fox\\u201d Van Vickle because of life. Yes, life.

\\n\\n

For two weeks we kept trying to record a show together, but my daughter ended up in the hospital (she\\u2019s home now) for a few days and threw everything off. Prayers appreciated! Dave was flying all over the country talking about Catholic spiritual warfare (like a gentleman ought) so instead I\\u2019m bringing you another example from my own ministry of how I preach the gospel.

\\n\\n

This talk was given to the men\'s group at my parish (even though some people don\\u2019t like those cough Dave cough) and focuses on the message of salvation through Genesis up to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and points to the responsibility this puts on Christians to spread the good news.

\\n\\n

We will be back with a regular show next week so you can hear the wonderful vibrato of \\u201cThe Bearded Fox\\u201d himself.

\\n\\n

Snippet from the Show
\\n\\u201cThe very spirit of Christ is breathed out upon us, giving us the ability to overcome sin, death, and darkness in our own lives. The Holy Spirit is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ unleashed into the human heart.\\u201d

SHOWNOTES

\\n\\n

Matthew 28:16-20 - \\u201cNow the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, \\u2018All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.\\u2019\\u201d

\\n\\n

Dr. Scott Hahn - \\u201cThe moment I\\u2019m more outraged at another person\\u2019s sin than my own is the day I need a reality check, because their sins don\\u2019t send me to hell the last time I checked.\\u201d

\\n\\n

Genesis 3:15 - \\u201cI will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.\\u201d

\\n\\n

GK Chesterton on Original Sin - \\u201cThe only doctrine of the church that\\u2019s empirically verifiable\\u201d

\\n\\n

St. Paul - \\u201cI do the very thing I don\\u2019t want to do, and I don\\u2019t do the very thing I want to do. Who will deliver me from this wretched body?\\u201d
