The Mission Field... Here and Now

I woke up early the other morning and whenever that happens, I hear God speak something so simple to me. That morning the thought of why many people choose to reject God popped into my head. This came out of nowhere... weird. And my half-awake brain immediately knew the answer: a relationship with God, when seen from a distance, is just about a bunch of hypocritical, sanctimonious do-gooders. They see the Church as a group of judgmental people who project their own insecurities onto others. But if we could only get these people, who do not know God, into a church, they would see this isn't the case. Anything seen from a distance does not accurately illustrate the depth and reality of what you are seeing. Put simply, if I did not feel God's Holy Spirit inside of me, I would have walked away a long time ago.  What I have is so real.  And I have such an awakened passion to reach these people "on the outside".

The mission field is now,
the mission field is here.
