1) We need to remove the dichotemy between the sacred and the secular. That means, understand the project at work or the homework for school as an act of worship, in the same category as the praise song at church. As a result, do it well!
2) Be intentional, whether at home or afar.
Here are a few others thoughts to mull over:
How does one evaluate which geographical area, culture, or ethnicity is most in need of the gospel? Is it according to lack of an existing witness, area where there will be the most converts, or area that is most resistant to the gospel? Over the weekend, I heard two different speakers who both advocated advancing the gospel to mutually exclusive parts of the world. They differed because they were using different methods to evaluate greatest need. But what the heck, should those decisions really be made according to greatest need to begin with? Just don’t let the discussion over need blur the point, people are dieing, and God said to shine!
On a different note, since we’re so intent on cross-cultural missions, should I be concerned when nearly an entire missions conference consists of white Caucasians?
