we didn't have the gospel wrong, just shallow

"Raised in the church, I heard lots of preaching and teaching. I did not lack one bit for information on the Scriptures. But I was never introduced to the concept of the gospel’s bigness. We did not have the gospel wrong, really. We just had it shallow. I didn’t understand that the gospel was for all of life...

We like that our gospel gets our sins forgiven and gives us a ticket to heaven, but we’re not sure of its functionality in our lives every day...

The further into the gospel we go, then, the bigger it gets. There is no way for us to wear it out...

...the gospel is both simple and complex, elementary and advanced."
