The message in my morning devotional reading was an interesting one... There have been times when I have listened to missionaries speak at church only to wonder if they truly received the call. There was a sense of the adventurer about them, but not a spirit of prayer and godliness. Sometimes this is evident in what they present as their accomplishments while fulfilling what they believe to be the “Great Commission” ... They speak of doing good things like building homes, working in healthcare, or performing other such concrete worldly deeds. They speak of saved lives but there is no talk of saved souls. They speak of works that any moral man might accomplish, but where is Jesus in them? What I hear sounds at best like a pilgrimage or personal spiritual vacation. What is the great commission really? Let’s explore this.
