Missions

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” – Mark 16:15

Missions is what it’s all about.

It’s
Souls not self
Others not me
Substance not surface
Eternal not temporal
Releasing not restraining
Vision not viewing

It’s
Caring and bearing
Here and there
Giving and getting
Praying and praise
Sowing and reaping
You and me

It’s the bottom line of bottom lines. It’s why we as a church exist. It’s the cure not the cause of what ails all peoples of the world. Missions is medicine to the masses. It’s the panacea for the plague. It’s hope for the helpless. It’s God’s gift. It’s an invitation to the wedding feast (RSVP). I’ll be there and so will you, but how about them? That’s the way I see things.
