Spreading Good News for Free

Daily writing prompt
What job would you do for free?

I don’t need to be paid to spread good news. I do it for free. Bad news seems to be everywhere. We need some amazing news to encourage us. Many years ago, I found the best news ever when I personally encountered and surrendered my life and will to the risen Jesus Christ.

Fully surrendering to Christ’s sanity and presence will rescue you from the dominion of darkness (Colossians 1:13) where darkness reigns (Luke 22:53) and establish the government (kingdom) of God within you. (Luke 17:21)

Christ’s sanity.

Christ’s sanity sets people free. (John 8:32) It:

* Casts down imaginations and brings every thought captive to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
* Thinks about the things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, virtuous, and of good report. (Philippians 4:8)
* Has no anxiety about anything. (Philippians 4:6)
* Produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
* Hungers and thirst after righteousness. (Matthew 5:6)
* Makes people pure in heart. (Matthew 5:8)
* Produces peacemakers. (Matthew 5:9)
* Introduces people to the inner government of God. (Matthew 5:3)
* Rejoices with joy unspeakable and full of glory. (1 Peter 1:8)

Christianity without Christ’s sanity is empty religion. Christians need to consistently follow and obey God the Holy Spirit more than they need to accumulate Bible information. (Bible information can help us stay aligned with God the Spirit, but it’s not sufficient by itself. We need the reality of Christ living inside of us and continually filling us with His sanity.)

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
