Hebrews 4.12:

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

In other words, the Gospel cuts. 

The true, unadulterated, unbiased message of the story of Jesus cuts us to the heart. The Gospel can do its work. Our own wisdom cannot do this - the Gospel can. 

When was the last time you spent a significant amount of time in the Gospel? When was the last time you dove into the Word?  

Martin Luther said this about the Gospel:

"[It is] is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me."

Sometimes we need to just get out of the Gospel's way and let it work. 

That snide comment about your preaching? Move on.  

That lack of respect for you as a youth minister? Move on.  

Criticism of your wife or kids? Move on.  

You will move on from these petty things because you have a job to do - spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You cannot control what people say or how they react, only what you say and how you will react.  

Move on.  

I needed this as much as some of you do.
