The Viral Gospel

July 8, 2012

The term “viral video” refers to a short clip posted on the Internet that spreads rapidly as the link is sent from one person to another. The video may be funny, inspiring, or thought provoking, and it can quickly spread around the world and be seen by millions of people. It’s an advertiser’s dream, but few marketing experts are able to exploit it. Lacy Kemp wrote: “How do you make something spread like wildfire? The answer is that you can’t. It’s not something to plan for or else everyone would be doing it. It has to be awesome enough on its own to get there.”

The gospel of Jesus Christ is “viral” in the way it spreads from one person to another. After Stephen, a leader in the early church, was stoned for his faith, the followers of Jesus in Jerusalem were persecuted and forced to leave their homes (Acts 8:1-3). Instead of fearfully holding back, these Christians told people about Him wherever they went. “Those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the Word” (v.4).

When we truly know Christ we cannot keep the good news about Him to ourselves. Even in the most challenging circumstances, we want to keep on telling others about our Savior and Lord.

Lord, You have been so gracious to save us
and give us eternal life. We love You and want
to tell everyone we can
about Your amazing grace. Lead us, we pray.
Spread the gospel; it’s contagious!

Read: Acts 7:59–8:8

Those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the Word. —Acts 8:4
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 137-139

Meg, your graphic is so calming and beautiful.
And your scrpture from Isaiah
Reminded me of another favorite one:


"He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

~Psalm 91:4~

Meg, Sorry I’m running so late today and now you’re enjoying lunch and a nap (I hope). I loved the quiet, soothing opening today. It just gives you a calm feeling and thank you. Lovely scripture, too. I’ve had a nap once already and may have another....LOL!

My keyboard is acting ugly. Can’t get my (m) to work. May have to replace the keyboard!

Have a nice Sunday! Its too hot here to breathe and I don’t stick my toe out!

I loved both of your pretty graphics today, yorkie. Both of them were just soooo sweet!! Thank you!

And how happy it makes me to know that HE wraps his arms around us daily as I’ve needed that a lot lately. What a wonderful GOD we have.
