Cultivating a Gospel Culture in Your Home
Josh Malone
Romans 1:16
ILLUS.- In his book ''People are the Mission'' Danny Franks explains how Disney here in Orlando has a culture of excellence. It's true right? We know that here. Ever noticed how CLEAN. -- That is called CULTURE. Their collective values, mission, beliefs, priorities ... make up their culture and it begins to effect the whole place. - And culture... it always starts AT THE TOP.

For the Christian family we should be striving for a GOSPEL CULTURE. The gospel of Jesus, who He is and what He's done and all that entails, and points to, and explains... should shape and mold everything about our homes.
What do I mean by GOSPEL CULTURE?
By that I mean our the culture of our families should say two things...
''We believe the gospel...''
''You should too.''
Our family culture should make it very clear that the gospel is what we believe, hold to and cherish and it should make a compelling case for others to consi ...
