CHOICE No.9-Being willing to go!

It's been sometime since I wrote one of my series on the good choices I have made, but here is another one.

Mark 16:15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.

It may be simplistic but I have always been willing to take God seriously when he challenges me to go into all the world. Of course, the world starts on out doorstep, and I began to preach in the small churches in the denomination I grew up in around the south-west London area. Now, thirty years later, I still get a real thrill from 'going' to preach about Jesus-whether it's to a church or youth event 10 miles away or a country five thousand miles away. In fact, I have a real difficulty in turning down opportunities to preach, wherever they may be.

The fact is that we worship a God who is a sending God-

*He sent His Son into the world to save us

*He sent His Spirit to live in us

*He sends us into the world to tell other about HIm

The very heart of mission is the mindset that Christians cannot be inward looking but be outward going. It's not that the church of God has a mission but that the God of mission has a church.

As for me, if I haven't been able to 'go' somewhere in the name of Jesus for while then I get restless and thirst for  the challenge and the experience again of being sent by God to be part of his mission to a world that needs to be be redeemed.
