Preaching Yourself the Gospel

Just as almost every other Thursday night post reminds you, tonight we had Nav Night. And it was SO GOOD! Trey, one of the EDGErs, talked about Ephesians 3:1-13. And he did SUCH a good job! He basically just reminded each and every one of us of the truth of the Gospel, the good news of Christ. I really hope they recorded it, because it was SO GOOD! Anyway, as he was speaking, I just started crying like you wouldn't believe. I didn't really know why at first, and then I realized: I was crying because I knew/know that it's all true! It was really cool to hear Trey preach the simple reality of the Gospel, the beauty of the Gospel, the excitement of the Gospel to us tonight. It was a reminder that I don't really think about it often enough. At STP this summer, someone (I don't remember who, and it was probably multiple people) said "You should preach the Gospel to yourself every single day." Or something like that. But you get the idea. And tonight was such a poignant reminder of how little I truly consider the Gospel, and how infrequently I remember the way Christ died for my sins on that horrible, yet so beautiful cross. So after tonight, I hope to remember to preach myself the Gospel more and more frequently, because let's be real here: I desperately need it.
