Your Mission is too Small
This week I was at the Advance Conference in Durham, NC. It was a great time of growth and fellowship with other Christians, as Jesus was continually exalted, and we were continually called to repentance. Two of the sessions were by John Piper. And while I recommend you download (and listen to) the audio from the entire conference, I want to especially draw your attention to his talks on the global mission of the church.
It’s so easy to get caught up in our lives and our churches that we lose sight of the fact that God has created the whole world, and all the peoples in it. John 14.6; Acts 4.12; and Romans 10.13-17 make it clear that salvation is only available in Jesus, through faith in him. For us to stand idly by while these millions of people perish without knowledge of Jesus is an unconscionable tragedy.
Pray for unreached people groups.
Give generously to support missions overseas.
Seriously ask God if he would have you go.
It is my sincere hope that God would call thousands of Christians to labor overseas for the cause of the gospel among those who have never heard of Jesus.
Before you finish, please spend a few moments contemplating this.
