Gospel, Free of Charge
(Filed under: The Christian Walk)Reading what Paul had to say today was an interesting challenge to me as I look to share the gospel with others, and I think it will be a challenge to churches as well.
"What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel." (1 Corinthians 9:18 NASB)
Free. There's a marketing term that every corporation wishes they could use more often. As you set up programming, think about how to market and consider the best way to reach out, remember that our ultimate reward is to present the gospel without charge. There's no way to market like letting people know the gospel is free.

You mean that same 'free' thing that is making the blog-rounds since Wired's latest issue hit the streets?
Its an additional discussion beyond your point here, but worth taking a closer look at.

Interesting post and comments.
I think it's also interesting that the author of the WIRED article, Chris Anderson, has a new book coming out in 2009 titled, "FREE."
Hmmm... wonder how much it will cost?
