Uncertainty - Part 2

In my last post, I wrote about the uncertain world in which we live. Opportunities that are here today may be gone tomorrow. In future posts I will be making the case that we need to take advantage of every opportunity to take the Gospel to people groups who have never heard, especially in places where there is an open door for us to go. Yes, we can and should continue to support missionaries all over the world. But based on the very fact that missionaries are there already, the opportunity is being addressed. We must never forget Jesus’ command to make disciples of all people groups (Matthew 28:19) and to go to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). As Paul said, how can they hear if someone doesn’t go and tell them? (See Romans 10:14-17).

The task is not done. It won't happen by accident. God is in control, but he has given us the assignment to reach every people group. My passion is that we make sure we are not like the man who buried his talent in the ground, failing to appropriately use the resources and abilities God has provided. If we fail to think and act strategically, we will fail to be fully obedient in this generation.
