The Gospel

ROMANS 5:18 NLT
18 Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.

Gospel means good news. It was not originally a religious word, but meant good news which makes people happy and excited.

If what you have heard about Jesus Christ does not make you happy and excited, then you have not yet truly heard and understood the Gospel as it is meant to be understood.

The basic outline is that Jesus of Nazareth, who was God in a human body, took your place in judgment, paying the penalty for all your sins, and gave you the blessing He deserved because of His perfect sinless life.

God, the Creator, and Sustainer of the universe, loves you enough to die for you. That’s good news!

Jesus took what you deserved, and gave you what He deserved! That’s good news!

And this is not limited to just you. Jesus died for all mankind. Deliverance from sin, its effects and penalty is available to anyone and everyone who will believe and receive Jesus Christ as Lord.

ROMANS 1:16 NLT
16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes — the Jew first and also the Gentile.

God is on your side — not against you. That’s good news!

If you do not get so excited you can hardly contain your excitement, you have not fully understood the Gospel.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:4 NLT
4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

If you can keep yourself from telling others about Jesus, you have not yet understood the Gospel.

SAY THIS: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is GREAT news!

Gamer’s Choice Inc. – a testimonial

“Gamer’s Choice was established April 26th 2008 to give every gamer a choice.”

You DO have a choice!  MY choice is Gamer’s Choice!

My Experience:  I have never been able to get a good exchange on games at Gamestop.  Well, this time I was able to trade ALL of my used games and movies, and have an in-store credit applied.  Then after I traded my used PSP,  PSP movies, and PSP games, I only needed about  100 dollars more to have enough to get a brand new Xbox 360.  So, I purchased the arcade version (200 dollars) PLUS the 60 gb hard drive combo(100 dollars) which includes a headset, and 3 months of gold Xbox Live.    This turns out to be a better deal than the PRO edition Xbox which sells for about the same…300 dollars.   So, you get more for your money when you get them this way!  How did I learn about this way to get more for your dollar?  The OWNER of Gamer’s Choice, of course! (Dan)

Pros:  (in my opinion)

  • way better trade-in values than Gamestop!
  • in-store credit…you can also add to the in-store credit with cash, then make your purchase later.
  • great customer service-  curteous, and quick
  • knowledgable – owner actually is knowledgable about systems and games!
  • Gamer’s Choice didn’t pick over my games and videos like at Gamestop and only want to buy certain ones.
  • Membership  Perks —>  http://www.gamerschoiceinc.net/47801/index.html
  • Try a game “before you buy”  (in the store)
  • Plenty of used games to select from

Cons:

  • not as big of a selection of new games as the box stores like Gamestop
  • did not have a game system in stock to purchase “on the spot”

Overall Impression:

  • DEFINITELY worth your while to shop there for a new system, games, and rentals.  Good prices and selection.
  • Even though they did not have a system in stock, it was Saturday, and on Monday they were available!  He was simply sold out at the moment.  Also, having a huge overstock of new games is expensive and I would expect overkill.
  • I purchased the membership with plans for renting games there which seem to match or beat Family Video rates for 5 days.   I received a $20 dollar in-store credit*  because I purchased the membership, and was trading in such a large amount of games.  (*this was a one-time bonus, and only occured during this current promo period, this bonus varies according to local specials/promos ONLY)
  • Not as fancy/decorations as Gamestop inside, but, trade-ins values, in-store accounts, and service exceeds anything that Gamestop offers.
  • Try before you buy is an excellent bonus
  • Rent-to-own option – say after a week of renting, you want to apply what you have already paid in rental to the purchase price of a game…you CAN do that!

At GAMER’S CHOICE…where every player DOES have a choice!
