Missions



{AN URGENT MISSION}
Surely  this  God  warrants more  than  our  raising  a  hand  and 
praying a prayer. Surely this God warrants more than nominal 
adherence,  church  attendance,  or  casual  acceptance.  This God 
warrants  complete  abandonment  of  our  plans,  our  possessions, 
our hopes, our dreams, and our lives. We lay everything we have 
on the table before this God, and we say, “Use me—my  life, my 
family, my church, everything I have and everything I am—for 
the spread of your glory and this gospel to the ends of the earth.” 
Indeed, the only logical response to this glorious God of grace is, 
“Here am I. Send me.”

{THE GREAT COMMISION}
You or I can bail, but the mission is still going to go forward. 
So it’s not God throwing a blueprint in our laps and saying, “Go 
do it.” It’s God saying, “This is what I’m doing. I don’t know what 
you’re doing, but this is what I’m doing. It’s spectacular, and you’re 
invited to come along and be a part of what I’m doing.” He’s invit-
ing us. He’s not pushing us out the door and saying, “Go do that.” 
He’s saying, “This is what I’m doing. This is where I’m going. This 
is what’s on my heart. Join me.”

{HIS PEOPLE}
There are an estimated seventeen thousand people groups on the 
planet, and God deserves praise  from every single one of  them. 
Yet thousands of these people groups have yet to be reached with 
the  gospel. Hundreds  of millions  of men  and women who  have 
rebelled  against  the  sovereign  glory  of  God  have  never  heard 
about  the saving grace of God. 

{THE MISSION}
Missions is about the worship of Jesus and the joy of all peoples. 
And as surely as Jesus is Lord of the universe, the mission will 
finish. He  will  build  his  church. He  will  be  worshiped  among 
every people. And in him will his redeemed people, from all the people. 

These are all excerpts from a book I am reading called Finish The Mission 



Not too late to sign up for the September Disciplship Training School because GOING is necessary for discipling.
