I am re-reading God is the Gospel by John Piper. The main point of the book can be summed up in this quote,
The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God.How should this change our description of the gospel to an unbeliever?

My name is Vince and I live in Colorado. When I drink coffee a brown ring forms on my bottom lip. A similar ring forms on the mug. It's worth the hassle. I love my wife more today than yesterday and our kids are growing on us. I am a church planter with Acts 29 and I am in the process of planting The Town Church.

man I'm hoping this doesn't change anything. The ticket to Heaven evangelism is a thing of the past....isn't it? please say yes...
ylmurph - i would be interested to hear the description of the gospel that you would give to an unbeliever. i would probably agree with you but i would be interested to hear it. would you mention heaven? why would an unbeliever want to go to God? just curious.
sorry - I've been away from the 'ol computer (and loved the "oil" video)
I would describe the gospel as the great news of our having the opportunity to be in a relationship with the God who loves us more than we could ever imagine....no matter what.
