The Gospel Speaks Today seeks to analyse everyday event through the lens of the Bible. In effect, it uses the Bible as the standard, the reference point and basis for its analysis.
This approach is predicated on the fact that God is interested in the totality of a person. In the Lord’s considerations, there is no division between the secular and religious. Every sphere of life and activity is important therfore, it is observed and examined. This underlines the command to be perfect in all we do.
While perfection may not attainable, it is a goal to aim at. This informs the exhortation on the practical everyday life, that we should focus on “..whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8
