We know that there are certain realities in being missionaries. We
have sent our best – our best people, our children, our money and
resources; we have sent up to our Lord prayers on their behalf –but we
have perhaps thought inwardly: ‘Thank God, I don’t have to go.’
I submit that if we don’t think and act missionally, deeply and
profoundly through our lives here ‘at home,’ our churches will die. In
many places throughout North American, such deaths are all too frequent.
We are called to live missionally each day and in every aspect of
life on this planet. It is our creaturely and New-Creaturely
responsibility and possibility, now, in Christ. ‘There is not one inch
of our Heavenly Father’s Creation about which He does not say, ‘that is
Mine!’ (thank you Abraham Kuyper)
