I think its so funny how whenever I tell someone that I'm going on a mission trip their reaction is either a "why?" or "oh that's nice," or "I'm definitely not called to that." But what does it mean to be "called?" I heard a sermon once about biblical conviction. Basically it talked about how when we read the bible and the Lord commands us to do something, instead of waiting to hear an audible voice, YOU DO IT! I wonder if people really feel like they can't move until they hear "the Voice" or if it's just an excuse to do nothing. I was reading David Platt's book Radical and it talked about people feeling like they're not called. Here's an excerpt from the book. If you have it, it's on page 72 and 73 under the section "I'm Not Called." If you don't have it then go get it. lol
{ I wonder if we have in some ways intentionally and in other ways unknowingly erected lines of defense against the global purpose God has for our lives. It's not uncommon to hear Christians say, "Well, not everyone is called to foreign missions," or more specifically, "I am not called to foreign missions." When we say this we are usually referring to foreign missions as an optional program in the church for a faithful few who apparently are called to that. In this mind-set, missions is a compartmentalized program of the church, and select folks are good at missions and passionate about missions. Meanwhile, the rest of us are willing to watch the missions slide shows when the missionaries come home, but in the end God has just not called us to do the missions thing.
But where in the Bible is missions ever identified as an optional program in the church? We have just seen that we were all created by God, saved from our sins, and blessed by God to make his glory known in all the world. Indeed, Jesus himself has not merely called us to go to all nations; he has created us and commanded us to go to all nations. We have taken this command, though, and reduced it to a calling–something that only a few people receive.
I find it interesting that we don't do this with other words from Jesus. We take Jesus' command in Matthew 28 to make disciples of all nations, and we say, "That means other people." But we look at Jesus' command in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," and we say, "Now, that means me." We take Jesus' promise in Acts 1:8 that the Spirit will lead us to the ends of the earth, and we say, "That means some people." But we take Jesus' promise in John 10:10 that we will have abundant life, and we say, "That means me."
In the process we have unnecessarily (and unbiblically) drawn a line of distinction, assigning the obligations of Christianity to a few while keeping the privileges of Christianity for us all. In this way we choose to send off other people to carry out the global purpose of Christianity while the rest of us sit back because we're "just not called to that."}
So to all my fellow racers and fellow Christians, we're all "missionaries" called by God to take the truth of Jesus Christ to the world. Your mission field may be overseas or it may be at your school or your job or even in your own neighborhood. So for all of you waiting on the call here it is. "Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” –Matthew 28:18-20 Or here's another call….. "Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself." –Matthew 22:37-40. So in the words of Lecrae SEND ME I'LL GO!!!
