A little while ago I mentioned the challenge laid down by Acts 29 to ‘tweet the gospel’ (i.e. boil the gospel down to 140 characters).

95 entries have been received, now it’s time to vote for which entry best communicates the gospel in 140 characters. One of the comments about this post was helpful – the communication is different depending on who the audience is. Sin is a great shortcut for a 140 character summary, but doesn’t make sense to a lot of people. Perhaps part of the voting criteria should be the ease with which someone who is not yet a Christian can understand the description of the gospel?

Check out the entries, and place your vote at Gospel Tweeting Contest. Here’s a sample of the entries:

#54. a holy God w/ holy demands you don’t meet has both fulfilled these demands & taken the wrath due you. repent & believe he’s done it

#57. For God’s own glory: “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God”

#79. God’s heart shown through grace being poured out as a free gift, teaching us to live godly lives, in eager hope for Jesus’ return

#82. Knowing our need, God became a man, seeking to die and rise again to save us from ourselves and give us new life to His glory.
