So, once again Providence has hosted it's annual missions conference, Missio Dei. As the chair of this event I feel that it went quite well, there were things that could definitely have been improved, but overall I feel it was a success. Organizing this event was an experience and half and learned so much from it. I thought I'd like to share some reflections from this event with you.
"Thy will be done" whether I like it or not. I might as well go along with it.
"Ask and you shall receive," God provides double, just in case we miss it.
Jason was right in saying that the gospel is unlikely, those who were most inspired to take up the call of the gospel were those whom I least thought cared.
Christ is Lord, not the job description.
"If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it."
"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
The gospel is indeed inevitable, Christ himself is building his church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
As Dr. Schellenberg often says, "Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit." Missio Dei is a living testament to that truth.
The whole world groans beneath the whip of its slave driver, in Christ however, there is freedom indeed.
"Finally my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord"
