It's not a new gospel. It's the same old story. People don't want an old story. They want a new one, until they learn that there's no such thing as new. "There's nothing new under the sun." What's more important than salvation from Hell? A new car. A Masters degree at Harvard? A new home? A large family? These things are what the world seeks, but they are not what the world needs. People need to be rescued from themselves. The most insidious problem people have is prosperity. Poor people are humble. Not rich people. People say it's a blessing to be rich, or famous, or powerful. But, who needs a Savior if they are "rich and have need of nothing"? There was a time in my life when I was all about success. Mostly success in the world. I thought I could blend in my faith. I had flipped priorities. When I flipped it back life improved. Contentment is much better that achievement. Leading others to Christ is achievement enough. There's no other accomplishment that compares.
