Glorious Gospel

Archibald Brown wrote: “The gospel is a fact; therefore tell it simply. The gospel is a joyful fact; therefore tell it cheerfully. The gospel is an entrusted fact; therefore tell it faithfully. The gospel is a fact of infinite moment; therefore tell it earnestly. The gospel is a fact of infinite love; therefore tell it feelingly. The gospel is a fact of difficult comprehension to many; therefore tell it simply. The gospel is a fact about a Person; therefore preach Christ!” Charlie Peace, a notorious burglar and murderer from Sheffield, England, was executed in Armley Prison on February 25, 1879 at age 47. Leonard Ravenhill, in his book, Why Revival Tarries, recounts the words he spoke to the unmoved minister: “Sir, if I believed what you and the church of God say that you believe, even if England were covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I would walk over it, if need be, on hands and knees, and think it worthwhile living, just to save one soul from an eternal hell like that!”
