Secure in Christ
The Unexpecting Church
Recently, my wife went on a mission trip to the other side of the world on the continent of Africa. While she was gone, I had many people in our church ask about her well-being. I appreciated that so much, but several of them accompanied their question with a statement. It went something like this: “I’m glad God told Wendy to go over there and not me!”
WOW!!!! Are we so caught up in our pleasure and our own comforts that the thought of going to serve the Lord is foreign to our expectations? It is as though we build our little kingdoms and somewhere in the corner we leave room for God’s Kingdom.
My response to those comments is this: “My wife did not see a command to go on a billboard, or hear an audible voice. She understands God’s call to “Go into the world to proclaim the gospel” and she had an opportunity and she went. The simplicity of the Christian life is in reading the text of Scripture and living it out. Too often, if we read it at all, we do so to argue with it or to find loopholes that would exclude us from any such responsibility. And then we expect that God will bless us for what little we do! Something seems amiss!
Read the Word! Trust the Master! Live the Truth wholeheartedly!
