There are five kinds of people we will encounter in the

Gospel:

2 CORINTHIANS 3:2

2 You are our letter, written in our hearts,

known and read by all men;

1. LOOSELY RELIGIOUS“I’m already good enough.

I don’t need this.”

2. SECULAR-RELIGIOUS“The world is in a bad place;

I’m here to make a difference.”

3. VERY SPIRITUAL“We do need to change. We need to evolve into

higher states of consciousness.”

4. DEVOUTLY RELIGIOUS“I need to be more self-disciplined. I need to feel the way to my sin.”

5. HOPELESS“I just need to accept my fate.”
