The Secret 2 Missions Pt. 2

Last week, we looked at the first part of the secret, which is availability.  This week, we look at the second, which is obedience.

It is easier to talk about missions than to do missions.  It is easier to study missions than to do missions.  It is easier to give to missions than to do missions.  The typical Southern Baptist is very missions minded.  However, Christians are not called merely to be mission minded; God has called each one of us to be mission active, to be on mission for Him. When we understand His call on our life, recognize His Lordship, & make ourselves available, God can & will use us to reach a lost world with the gospel & bring glory to Him.

Obedience: when God calls us to be on mission for Him, we have 2 choices – obedience or disobedience.  The Bible is filled with the stories of men & women who heard the call of God & in obedience went out on mission.  In every generation, God is calling men, women, & students to be on mission for Him. Jesus spoke of the cost of obedience in Luke 9:23 & the cost of disobedience in Luke 9:62.

So, you have 1 of 2 options: obedience or disobedience.  Take a little bit of time to examine your life & answer these questions:

1.  Are you being obedient to Christ in every area of your life?

2.  Can you pinpoint some areas of disobedience?

Be in the practice of obedience.
