There is a command that echo’s our personal destiny…if, we belong to Him. We never know when our time has run out and the imperative is non-negociable. There are no exceptions…all of us will be held accountable..
In this vitriolic age, “we face a world that is more accessible through technology, with a nation that is more ethnically diverse, with the interreligious dialogue more at our doorstep than ever, with our faith’s historic values under siege, Christians are being closely watched.” Biola Magazine We are one click from chip technology that will bring global access.
“The world outside is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity,
it is waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity.” Ravenhill
This biblical directive is found in Matthew 28 and confirmed throughout the entire New Testament. The charge is to make disciples… “you therefore, my son (and daughter), be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men (and women) who will be able to teach others also.” II Timothy 2:2
We live in a world where our beliefs are questioned and our convictions are feeble, at best. We are living in a war zone and we can’t shelter warriors! We train them to fight!
We have two goals:
Save the lost in a darkening world and heal a broken world.
“It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is:
What are we busy about?” Henry David Thoreau
Today is the day to live out the Great Commission. I’ve been told after women’s bible study groups that the word “discipleship” is offensive and the concept of “walking in brokenness” is antiquated. “Humility” is too negative.
The command has not changed.
The need is greater and
the resolve is pending our daily commitment…
Will you fulfill your destiny?
