Did you know that all Christians are supposed to be missionaries?\u00a0 We might not all be called to travel to a foreign country, but Jesus did say to go into all the world and make disciples, to baptize them and teach them to obey everything that he taught.\u00a0 And guess what?\u00a0 Even if you\u2019re not in some foreign country your still in the world somewhere\u2014unless you\u2019re an astronaut\u2014though even in orbit there are people we can teach Christ\u2019s commandments to.\u00a0 No matter where you are, you are called to teach people to obey what Christ taught.\u00a0 Maybe you\u2019ve never thought about it before, but if you are not making disciples wherever you go, you are disobeying Jesus Christ.\u00a0 And if you are disobeying Jesus Christ then that proves he is not your Lord and that you don\u2019t love him.\u00a0 Remember, he said \u201cThose who obey my commands are the ones who love me.\u201d\u00a0 So if you don\u2019t obey Jesus, and he is not your Lord, and you are not making disciples, then are you really a Christian?\u00a0 Or are you simply mislabeling yourself?\u00a0 James Chapter 2 makes it pretty clear that there’s a big difference between knowing God exists, and living a life that demonstrates your faith in him.\u00a0 Even the demons “believe” in God and tremble.\u00a0 So the question is, do you TRUST and OBEY God? \u00a0 And inexperience or lack of education are both extremely lousy excuses, since all Christians are supposed to have the Holy Spirit living inside them and directing them.\u00a0 After all, the only way you can get experience is by doing something.\u00a0 Don’t you think it\u2019s time you got started?<\/p>\n
This talk is really just a short report on a building project we sent a team to help out with.\u00a0 It was a trip in support of mission training and work, but all missionaries need support too.\u00a0 So if you\u2019re not ministering in a foreign country somewhere, be sure that you are helping to support that work with your money as well as sharing the Good News of Jesus yourself.\u00a0 Just like the early disciples, we should be both spreading the Gospel AND financially supporting others who are making disciples around the world.<\/p>\n
