October Theme: the Gospel

The longer I live, the more I am convinced that the world needs no new Gospel, as some profess to think.  I am thoroughly persuaded that the world needs nothing but a bold, full, unflinching teaching of the "old paths."  The heart of man is the same in every age."

J.C. Ryle

“ Stand in the ways and see,
      And ask for the old paths, where the good way is,
      And walk in it;
      Then you will find rest for your souls. 

Jeremiah 6:16 

Rebecca's monthly theme for October is simply The Gospel.  She's inviting us to join her on Tuesdays and Fridays:

Post a quote, verse, poem, story, book review, or essay on a subject connected in some way to the gospel, send me an email with your link, and I’ll link back to your post (or posts) on the next Tuesday or Friday. There are no limits, really, on the form or  number of your post, just the subject.

I hope every one will both read the posts in this category and contribute to them as well.  The Gospel is, after all, the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes! Romans 1:16
