Should The Missionaries In Tom Seller's Let The Nations Be Glad

Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every nation. (Mark 16:15)

The beginning of the chapter tells the story of a guy named John that was stranded and helpless. John attempted to flag down some help, but was unsuccessful. That is until a good samaritan that finally stopped and went the extra mile to help. This set-up a pay-it-forward attitude in John in that he wanted to help the next ten people he seen stranded (Collins, 2). The author then suggests, like John, that we are all people helpers in that when people are struggling with their issues, they want the help of a friend, neighbor, co-worker, etc. The author then translates this into the Great Commission, where Christians are all to fulfill Jesus’s calling by means of outreach to the non-believers, making disciples and in teaching

A missionary is an ambassador of Christ. Each must be yielded to the Lord, loving Him with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength. Specifically, a missionary is one whom God sends through the support of the Church to the unreached. All Christians, however, are called to be missionaries of the Gospel. The Lord works through them to rescue the lost and hurting in this world. The lifestyle is definitely not easy and is very extreme at times. Christianity is synonymous with a life of extreme danger. Yet even though personal hostility, danger, and martyrdom may not be present in your life, there is something else you are experiencing in your current Christian walk. Today in the world there are hundreds of thousands of countries that are either

Just like Barnabas journey to Antioch. He recognize the grace of God is in all believer. He encourage everyone to be focus on the Lord's mission and let God ambition rule and guide along the way. In life God shall establish each and every Christian direction into the kingdom of God. Some into the gift of teaching, missionary & evangelism, setting up churches while other on a pastoral team. Each and every believer fashion in faith by God into respective area of His ownership.

God has a plan to reconcile His relationship with man after sin entered the world. This plan revolves around making His name known throughout all tribes and nations. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, the Bible presents God’s missionary purpose for humanity. For this reason, Christians involved in missions will travel to dangerous places to proclaim God’s name and saving power.

It is amazing how the Lord take us on journeys to teach us in order to serve His people and make disciples. This reminds me of Saul on the road to Damascus, Abraham on a voyage to slain his son, Joseph journey of struggles and his brother's jealousy and father's depression. Ruth and Naomi as well as our Savior Jesus. The journeys are for our good and His glory. As you look back, you can see how God hand was in the journeys all the time. Every place the Lord has took us was a teaching and a blessing; not only for us but for everyone He placed in our

We are called to embrace the reality of others’ authentic relation to God, and must acknowledge there are numerous sources – sacred texts, traditions, cultures, and experiences – that speak to what is good, right, and just in pursuing the dignity of all persons. Yet I believe that for Christians, the Christ depicted in the gospels is the model who demonstrates God’s will in the world. Jesus Christ emphasizes the importance of love of God and love of neighbor; because all of humanity reflects and is created in God’s image, the two cannot be separated. As a result of our discipleship, which is predicated on these two principles, we are called to ensure that justice, hope, love, and grace be available for any and all. We are linked in a web of global interdependence with our neighbor, and we are responsible in the larger world that includes us

In living through Jesus’ call and mission, the church must impact the world by proclaiming good news to the poor and setting the captive free. It is a call

We find in scriptures, various calls in Romans 1:6-7 call to belong to Jesus, 1 Corinthians 1:2 call to be his holy and there is a call into fellowship with God, these are all classified as general calls. The call to be a missionary may come in various ways. We understood the call of Moses, the boy Samuel, Isaiah, and Gideon they were totally different. The call of the twelve, was not the same either. Missionaries have all types of personalities, they come from all walks of life, and normally they have a profusion of fruit of the Spirit. Missionaries should possess full knowledge of core Christian Beliefs, and have the ability to communicate with

(Matthew 28:19, 20) Churches need mission mindedness. God doesn’t call everyone to be a missionary; however, He does call all churches and church members to be involved in mission

The main question posed by this chapter is “whether the supremacy of Christ means that he is the only way to salvation” (133). Within this main question, three questions are contained in it: the question of hell, the necessity of the work of Christ, and the fate of the unreached. The answers to these questions are significant to the cause of missions because they revolve around the missionary’s effort to preach the gospel’s message. Piper sets out to biblically answer these questions to prove that without missions, the more likely it is that less people will be saved. Piper uses Romans 3:9-20 to explain the phrase, “the universality of the work of Christ.” Which is basically Jesus’ death for the salvation of His people. Romans 3:9-20 points

First of which, Gary Schnittjer says, “The human race defied God’s instruction to multiply and fill the earth because they wanted to make a name for themselves” (Schnittjer 1737). God has always been a sending God. He instructed Adam and Eve to fill the earth. He called Abraham to go to the land he would show him so that he could be a blessing to all nations. Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came on them, and then they would be his witness to the ends of the earth. Yet in the early church, what unfolds is mini-Babel building. The disciples stay in Jerusalem, perhaps not to make their name great, but they are not fulfilling God’s command to go and bless. Therefore, persecution breaks out. What can be learned from Genesis 11 and the rest of the Bible, is the church today must give attention going and blessing rather than codling and tower building. The church is to be sent into every neighborhood with the good news of the Gospel, rather than only care for themselves. God’s mandate has never changed since Genesis

In the gospel, people are always looking for Jesus to see the wonders he does. They are attracted by the charism of this new ‘prophet’ that has arisen among them. They are attracted by the fame of this healer and preacher. However, Jesus knows that those are not true reasons to follow him. He is expecting for something deeper that comes from their hearts, a desire to find God and embrace him in their lives. Today many more people are looking for God and many people

In chapter two, the second half is all about being one in Christ. Paul tells us in verses 11-13 that we were all lost without Christ at one point in our life. We had no hope but because of Jesus, we can have hope and do not have to be disconnected from God. It is through Jesus and the cross that we are brought to unity with God. Christ is the one who gives us peace. He broke the wall of hostility and taught us peace. Christ came to earth and preached peace so we would know the love of the Father and that God’s love may be spread far and wide. If Christ followers are peaceful, it

Here we begin with 2 Thessalonians 2:13 Paul confesses their redemption as a society of Believers by speaking of them as "being picked," whereas God had charged Paul to take the Gospel to them on his Second Missionary Journey in Acts 17. The atmospheres which display them to be diverse from the admirers of the antichrist, are colleagues, much-loved of the Savior and of our God, looking at the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic images was recited in this manner: they were the colleagues of Christ, actuality the beloved offspring of God, innate of him, and fit in with his family, and of the apostles, and of one more, human being of the house of faith; and they were much-loved by God the Father, as the examples of their choice to redemption by him, and their mission to everlasting glory and expression; and by the Lord Jesus Christ, who had formed out for them the salvation they were elected to; and by the Lord the Spirit, by whom they were restored, summoned, consecrated, and taken to the faith of the truth; and meanwhile they had notice in the never-ending love of the three heavenly Persons, there was no endangerment of their dwindling away and expiring. The determination of the believer 's blessing for people is for the reason that they were labeled by God from the foundation as being picked into the salvation of God. This is to be
