A plea to pastors and church leaders:
We have not just the opportunity, but the responsibility (and the privilege) to turn this picture of red zones upside down.
A gospel that’s not worth dying for is a gospel that’s not worth living for.
Pray for freedom from the idolatry of safety in your life. And for those who are daily sacrificing safety for the spread of the gospel where it hasn’t gone.
I wish you could meet these brothers and sisters. This mission field has become a mission force.
From whatever nation we’re from as followers of Jesus, let’s lock arms and give our lives to reaching all the nations together for the glory of Jesus.
The very opposite of creation happened to Jesus Christ on the cross. He was de-created. He was deconstructed. Why? Our maker had to be unmade so we could be remade.
If we actually believe the Bible, we’ll leave behind this brand of Christianity we’ve created that’s content to essentially ignore over 3 billion in the world who’ve never heard the gospel.
So the question is: do we actually believe the Bible?
