THE BEAUTY OF SHARING CHRIST

B y D a v i d   M c Q u e l Sharing Christ is not simply about speaking words; it is about living a life that radiates His presence and transforms those around us. The gospel is more than a message—it is a gift of grace, hope, and love meant to be passed on. Like a flame that grows brighter as it spreads, the light of Christ multiplies when shared, illuminating hearts and communities. Each believer carries this light, entrusted with the privilege of shining it into places of darkness. Let us reflect on this beauty through three truths: Christ is the Light , the Light has been given , and help someone see the Light . Christ is the Light Jesus Christ is described in Scripture as “the light of the world” (John 8:12), and this truth captures the very essence of His mission. Light is powerful—it dispels darkness, reveals hidden paths, and brings warmth to cold places. In the same way, Christ shines into the brokenness of humanity, offering clarity where confusion reigns and ...

Organic Spiritual Growth: From New Creation to Disciple-Maker Parts II

B Y   D A V I D   M c Q U E L From our last post, we learned that Christianity is not merely a set of doctrines or rituals; it is a living relationship with Jesus Christ that transforms the believer from the inside out. This transformation is not mechanical but organic — a growth process that mirrors the natural development of life. Just as a seed germinates, matures, and multiplies, so the believer, having received Christ, becomes a new creation, grows in faith, shares the gospel, and multiplies disciples. This essay explores the four stages of organic spiritual growth: New Creation , Spiritual Maturity , Evangelism , and Discipleship Multiplication .  We learned three things: 1. New Creation: Identity Transformed 2. Spiritual Maturity: Growing in Christ 3. Evangelism: Sharing the Gospel In this Part II, we will look at discipleship more deeply. 4. Discipleship Multiplication: The Cycle Continues The ultimate goal of organic spiritual growth is multip...

ORGANIC SPIRITUAL GROWTH: NEW CREATION PART I

 B Y   D A V I D   M c Q U E L Introduction Christianity is not merely a set of doctrines or rituals; it is a living relationship with Jesus Christ that transforms the believer from the inside out. This transformation is not mechanical but organic — a growth process that mirrors the natural development of life. Just as a seed germinates, matures, and multiplies, so the believer, having received Christ, becomes a new creation, grows in faith, shares the gospel, and multiplies disciples. This essay explores the four stages of organic spiritual growth: New Creation , Spiritual Maturity , Evangelism , and Discipleship Multiplication . 1. New Creation: Identity Transformed Paul declares in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” This is the starting point of organic spiritual growth.

DO MISSIONARIES MATTER TODAY?

B Y   D A V I D   M c Q U E L The founding of the CMS The Preaching of the gospel is Christ’s greatest commission to the global Church, Mark  16:15. The preaching of the gospel stands as Christ’s greatest commission to the global Church, as recorded in Mark 16:15: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” This command is not merely a suggestion but a divine mandate that defines the mission and identity of the Church. It emphasizes universality, calling believers to transcend cultural, ethnic, and geographical boundaries to proclaim the good news of salvation. The gospel itself is the message of Christ’s death, resurrection, and promise of eternal life, and its proclamation ensures that humanity encounters God’s grace and truth. For the Church, this commission establishes preaching as the central task, shaping worship, discipleship, and service. It is through preaching that faith is awakened, communities are transformed, and nations are...

THAT THEY MAY HEAR

By D a v i d   M c Q u e l The first big step towards getting some saved is getting them to listen to the gospel. That is why Jesus said in Matthew 28 and Mark 16, “Go…” And Paul emphasized this in Romans 10: 13 and 14, “For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom  they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (NKJV) Receiving the free gift of Salvation largely depends on the world hearing about his love. It is like a medical breakthrough for a devastating illness that is not made public. What’s the good of it? Finding the solution is half the job. That is why in every hospital and clinic, there are always posters of new medications, either just invented or improved. Even though it is in the hospital, the drug makers make a lot of investments in public education. Likewise, for the message of salvation, there has to be an inv...
