There have been few rock singers as beloved as the late, great Bon Scott of AC/DC. After all, it was his unmistakable vocals and streetwise/sexually charged lyrics that were a major part of such all-time classic rock anthems as “Highway to Hell", “Sin City”, “Whole Lotta Rosie", “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”, and “TNT”. And it was the “Bon era” that set the stage for AC/DC to go on to become one of rock’s most universally popular and enduring bands. But few rockers partied as hard as Bon - sadly resulting in his death at the age of 33.

For years, I would have said the intention of the Gospel is to bring mankind into a relationship with God - to save us from our sins and enable us to gain heaven as his adopted children. All true. However, the Gospel is about much more than a plan for mankind which culminates in a "moment-in-time transaction" from spiritual deadness to new life in Christ. Let me say it clearly; the Gospel is as much about our life in Christ, as it is news about how to come to Christ.
