The gospel isn't about me, it isn't about you, it isn't about our church, our cool productions, or our hipster pastor. The gospel isn't about 10 steps to a happy life and it isn't about 7 secrets to a successful "Christian" business. The gospel isn't God's way of helping us be better people. The gospel isn't about how to make our kids behave more and it isn't about what not to say if we want to make our spouses do what we want them to do.
Hell will be full of people who used to be happy. Better people will line the halls of hell. And even so-called "successful Christians" will spend eternity in a lake of fire seperated from God.
The gospel is all about Jesus. He is exclusively the good news and he is the only way to God. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the kit and caboodle, the icing and the cake.
The gospel is Jesus plus zilch, nada, nothing.
