Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme "Five Stunning Realities of the Gospel.  Our scripture reference was Mark 6:42. We had a great discussion on how the Gospel is about provision, yet it's always about satisfaction.  God wants us to be satisfied in the soul.  We heard so many listener calls sharing the joy they have in God's provisions in their lives...and usually it's the simplest things.   We spoke with Dr. David Nelms, the Founder of The Timothy Initiative (TTI).  He shared that one of the most significant provisions of the Gospel is that we can love others and tell others about the Gospel.  The Great Commission is great, but the Great Commandment to love others as God has loved us and tell them the Good News is even greater!   Dr. Alex McFarland also joined us.  He's a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, and culture analyst.  He emphasized that the greatest satisfaction found in the Gospel is the cross!  Every other provision and satisfaction comes from what happened on the cross.  People can miss the blessings because they don't understand and culture is unstable.  He offered 10 Questions Every Christian is asking or soon will be (to receive: text TEN to 1-800-555-7898).  Also, his latest book is called "100 Bible Questions and Answers on Prophecy and the End Times".    You can listen to the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast. If you're looking to listen to a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps: Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
