b'Paul is super passionate about spreading the gospel and so are we! Asking what our queerness can teach us about Christianity doesn\\u2019t\\xa0taint Christianity, it\\xa0 unlocks a greater, more profound, more prophetic dimension that we might otherwise miss.\\nRead the transcript (PDF)\\nIn this episode, we mention\\n\\nthis year\\u2019s Synchroblog\\nHarvey Milk\\u2019s \\u201cI\\u2019m here to recruit you\\u201d line\\nHow \\u201cobligation\\u201d to Christ is greater than trying to avoid hell\\nFollowing Christ can be liberating and life-giving\\n\\n \\n1 Corinthians 9:16-23\\nIf I preach the gospel, I have no reason to brag, since I\\u2019m obligated to do it. I\\u2019m in trouble if I don\\u2019t preach the gospel. If I do this voluntarily, I get rewarded for it. But if I\\u2019m forced to do it, then I\\u2019ve been charged with a responsibility. What reward do I get? That when I preach, I offer the good news free of charge. That\\u2019s why I don\\u2019t use the rights to which I\\u2019m entitled through the gospel.\\nAlthough I\\u2019m free from all people, I make myself a slave to all people, to recruit more of them. I act like a Jew to the Jews, so I can recruit Jews. I act like I\\u2019m under the Law to those under the Law, so I can recruit those who are under the Law (though I myself am not under the Law). I act like I\\u2019m outside the Law to those who are outside the Law, so I can recruit those outside the Law (though I\\u2019m not outside the law of God but rather under the law of Christ). I act weak to the weak, so I can recruit the weak. I have become all things to all people, so I could save some by all possible means. All the things I do are for the sake of the gospel, so I can be a partner with it.\\nThe post We want to recruit you \\u2013 1 Corinthians 9:16-23 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
