As we celebrate the 4th of July and reflect on the sacrifices made for our nation’s freedom, we’re reminded that the greatest freedom comes through the Gospel. Jesus offers liberty not just from earthly oppression, but from sin, guilt, and death. In Him, life gains clarity, peace, and eternal hope—true freedom that endures beyond this life.

Life is short and fleeting, like a vapor or a fading flower. The Bible reminds us that our time on earth is limited and full of challenges, but its message points us to something greater—eternity with God. This is the Gospel: that true purpose is not found in this world, but in living in obedience to Christ and preparing for the life to come.

The judgment of God is certain, and everyone will give an account of their lives before Christ, the righteous Judge. The Bible will be the standard, and nothing will be hidden. Are you ready?

This powerful message comes from the archives of One Gospel Minute, originally delivered by Tennessee Bible College founder Malcolm Hill.

In this special Camp Edition of One Gospel Minute, we’re handing the mic to the next generation. Recorded live during Truth Bible Camp at Tennessee Bible College, this episode features short, powerful reflections from campers as they share what they’ve learned, how they’ve grown, and what the Gospel means to them. These young voices are full of faith, joy, and truth—and they remind us all why this work matters.

Truth Bible Camp is back this June 8–12 at Tennessee Bible College! For 28 years, this camp has helped young people grow in faith by learning and sharing the Gospel. Campers prepare and present Bible lessons, lead a Ladies Day, and participate in Vacation Bible School—all while enjoying a week full of fun and nonstop activity. This year’s theme: “Go to work in My vineyard” (Matt. 21:28) and “My Kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36). It’s hands-on spiritual training rooted in Scripture. Come support these dedicated kids!

Those who don’t respect the dead are unlikely to respect the living. On Memorial Day, we owe gratitude to those who came before us—family members who worked hard for our future, and soldiers who died defending our freedoms. Like Abraham who honored his family with a proper burial, we too should show respect. As one veteran said, even during holiday fun, take a moment to remember those who gave so much. Memorial Day is more than just a day off—it’s a reminder that freedom comes at a cost. Let’s not forget the sacrifices that made it possible.

What’s guiding your faith—tradition, opinion, or truth? Many today are led by family, friends, or popular trends, but God calls us to follow His Word alone. Man-made teachings fall short, while the Bible reveals God’s will and the path to eternal life.

From the archives: A powerful word from Brother Malcolm Hill, the founding president of Tennessee Bible College and the original voice behind One Gospel Minute.

“The world’s not the same without Mother.” God designed women to nurture and guide the home, and many owe their faith to a godly mom. Even Jesus was raised by Mary, chosen for her purity and devotion. The world deeply needs faithful Christian mothers—and that, too, is the Gospel.

Are you hitting the mark in your walk with Christ? The Bible shows that sin is missing the mark—choosing the wide, easy road instead of the narrow path Jesus calls us to follow. We can’t guide ourselves; we need God’s direction. His Word is clear, true, and leads to real peace and faithful living. If you want to stay on target, Jesus is the only way.
