Comments on: We Are Called to Mission http://thelogosministry.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/we-are-called-to-mission/ notes on a ministry and a changing world Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:07:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Tom Beagan http://thelogosministry.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/we-are-called-to-mission/#comment-5784 Tom Beagan Tue, 28 Aug 2007 13:37:34 +0000 http://thelogosministry.wordpress.com/2007/06/22/we-are-called-to-mission/#comment-5784 Donna and Lynn, Thank you for your comments. I couldn't agree more. It is so easy for all of us to get caught up in business and miss the big picture all around us. The old cliché tells us to take time to smell the roses, however what I think both of you are pointing out is that we need to take time and make space to experience the Kingdom through the body of Christ. I know for me that is so awesome that I would never want to lose it now. Donna and Lynn,

Are your words of encouragement timely for me! I was just praying for the families in our church and community since we will be meeting this Wednesday night to register the kids for our LOGOS ministry. I was praying that God would nudge them to FIND the time and MAKE the time because we hear too much about how difficult it is to fit church into their schedules. If we always come to the Kingdom with a "full plate" how are we going to enjoy the banquet?? I wish more people saw service to God as you do...being blessed to be allowed to come and share your talents! Donna,

Each time I go out and do mission work I am in awe of God's present and love. The youth want to serve, they want to help and do something worth while in their eyes. They want to be together and be praised. They want to praise God for all He gives and doesn't give them. I feel that I am the blessed one for someone allowing me to come and share my talents and God's youth. To anyone thinking they can't find time, I say find the peace that comes with mission work is ever lasting.

God's desire is that each individual would be radically commited to him. A disciple is one who receives instruction and makes it a part of their lifestyle. True disciples are made by God through individuals, not institutions. By people not programs, by persons and not products. A disciple is a world visionary, world impacting reproducer of others who will reproduce. 2 Tim 2:2 There must be life transference between the trainer and the one being trained. Luke 6:40 Spiritually, disciples must be fruitful and multiply! Yes we are called to missions. God’s desire is that each individual would be radically commited to him.

We did God's work, built up a church, and had a blast. I'm ready for the next one. The mission trip was amazing. We did God’s work, built up a church, and had a blast. I’m ready for the next one.
