Something I've been learning a ton about in the past year or so is the centrality of the Gospel. My brother gave me a sick book that focused on it and I started listening to sermons by C.J. Mahaney and Tim Keller. C.J. really focuses on how the Gospel is really the fuel to any Christian's life. Our motivations as Christians should flow from the Gospel, and in order for this to happen, we must be learning and growing in knowledge of the Gospel. That's why Paul says the Gospel he delivered to the Corinthians was "of first importance." I feel like I could type all day on this one and I only got into the first 5 verses. However, since I'm going to class soon, I'll just give some links to some sweet stuff that has been really helpful for me when it comes to Gospel centrality.
Tullian Tchividjian speaks at DesiringGod 2010 about Gospel Math
The Gospel Primer - Milton Vincent (This is the book my brother gave me. It's very short but by far my favorite book second to the Bible. If you promise to read it within a month or so, I'll give you a copy)
Of First Importance Blog
Tim Keller Article
If you have an hour (or if you don't), you should watch the Tullian Tchividjian talk on Gospel Math. He was just one of the seminar speakers, but this was my favorite talk at the conference.
Also, the Gospel Primer is great for devotions time because it has short chapters that set your mind on the Gospel before going off into your day.
The Of First Importance Blog (Nice name huh?) is very similar to the Gospel Primer but is a daily blog with each post containing Gospel truth.
