Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly “Transformational Tools” theme by discussing the importance of gospel compassion for the laborers of God’s kingdom. As followers of Christ, we know this walk isn’t easy, and when our brothers and sisters are down, we must encourage and minister to each other. We turned to Matthew Chapter 9, where we saw how Jesus ministered and showed compassion to the lame, blind, sick, and those who sought Him. We also had Dr. Jim Coakley join us to discuss the significance of repetition and word choice in scripture, and how it can convey the compassionate traits of the characters involved. Dr. Jim Coakley is a professor at Moody Bible Institute and a current elder at 180 Chicago. He is also a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. He has also authored several publications and books, including “14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We then had Chris Martin join us to discuss expansion plans and resources for Moody Radio. Chris is the Director of Content for Moody Global Media and Editor of the Bible to Life website. He has also authored several books, including “The Real Cost of Social Media.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
