Convictions:
-God has given me excess of everything! Therefore, give more, relieving the necessities of the brethren! Give generously, abundantly, sacrificially because our hearts have been captured by a Savior that produces an overflow of joy.
-GO to other nations, do not just send money. God did not send gold or silver, but His Son Jesus!
Encouragements:
-Do not be afraid of persecution, blame, betrayal, hatred because Christ offers safety in His sovereignty, satisfaction in His love, and security in His presence. The Word has the power to redeem, renew, refresh, and restore what He created us to be. Do not settle for bible-lite or devotionals. Saturate your soul the Bible to penetrate this culture!
Challenges:
-Sacrifice safety for the people who are presently hostile to the gospel who might one day surrender their hearts to Jesus
-Pray for the world, read the Word, sacrifice your money for a specific purpose, spend your time in another context, get involved in a multiplying community
Truths:
I LOVED that he dedicated a chapter to explaining these truths that are enhancing how I share the gospel and my heart for missions.
1. All people have knowledge of God
2. All people reject God
3. All people are guilty before a holy God
4. All people are condemned for rejecting God
5. God has made a way of salvation for the lost
6. People cannot come to God apart from faith in Christ
7. Christ commands the church to make the gospel known to all peoples
Live for the day where every nation, tribe, people, and language will bow down around the throne and sing the praises of the Savior who delights in obedience to the God who deserves eternal worship
