Gaps are annoying. They interrupt things. They impede our progress. Gaps get in the way.

But who says there is such a thing? Isn’t the gospel of Jesus Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1.24)? How could there possibly be a gap? But what if the gap is at our end? What if the gap concerns the way we receive the gospel and apply it?
