What Are We Selling?

So I stumbled upon this video this morning and it lined up with something I'd been thinking about. Sometimes we think that the music industry should be about talent :P Obviously this video shows that it may not be. At the same time, what are presenting as the core of Christianity?



As much as the music industry lacks in actual talent, we get the religious industry lacking in Jesus :P I think you get what I mean. There are lots of instances where we see the religious organization and we hear that, "Jesus saved me so I could go to heaven", and know full well that Jesus saved you for a lot more than that and also that the individual has no idea how Jesus did it.

Sometimes we think it's a problem with the industry but it's just a problem with the people that profit from the situation. It's always the problem with the people. If the gospel is not clearly resented it's because the presenters have problems.

Why is it so hard to explain the gospel? Why is what we're saying not good news? Why is it that what I said doesn't sound like it is able to be consistent with the God of the old and new testament? Maybe because we don't live the gospel :P Just something to think about.
