Here’s the thing: you have not really experienced God’s goodness until you’ve sat across the table, sipping the nectar of thought at your local coffee shop with another believer, just swapping stories of what Jesus is doing.
The Bible tells us that we know and see in part, meaning we don't fully grasp all the spiritual activity around us. But Jesus asked us to be ready, in season and out of season, to share his good news with the world. Pray for Time Missions as we strive to stay focused on sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through the work of the body of Christ from America, Canada, and other countries that want to join us in this great mission.
We are called to be one church—a united, diverse, and grace-filled body that reflects the character of Christ. Let‘s live lives worthy of the calling we have received, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit, and using the grace freely given to us to serve one another. In doing so, we will Be One church, the church that God has called us to be, a light in a divided world.
The leadership in our mission decided that it was time to take it up a notch. After three years of domestic short-term trips, they decided to go international. I was invited to go on this new experience as well. First international mission trip with Mexican students.
There we were at the base of Mt Elbert. At 14,440 ft, it’s the highest summit in the Rocky Mountains, the highest point in Colorado and the second-highest summit in the contiguous United States. My group of Jr and Sr Highers were on a mission’s trip in Colorado, helping a local church reach out to their community with the Good News.
If we love Jesus, then we are going to love people. Love them with our words, love them with our time, love them by helping them, love them while worshipping together. We had done all of this, and that had affected change. Change in our hearts, in our minds. We had stood next to other Jesus followers, we did not always understand each other, but we were loving each other by just showing up.
As followers of Jesus there are some things we are commanded to do. In my case I am commanded to communicate the options that are understood in The Great Commission to give and or go.
Under this new Kingdom constitution. A close look at Matthew 5 tells that: Happy are the poor in spirit, happy are those who mourn, happy are the meek, happy are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, happy are the merciful, happy are the pure in heart, happy are the peacemakers, happy are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, happy are those who suffer reproach and persecution. When we join the Kingdom of the heavens and serve this unprecedented King. We can expect the unexpected, rejoice in the unparalleled goodness of God, take heart in the unmatched mercies of God and receive the unrivaled love of God.
Bedtime Christians think that Christianity is supposed to be entertaining rather than about a life changing relationship with the living Lord Jesus Christ.
