- We should
all be involved in missions. A person doesn't need to wait to
be invited before getting aggressive about the Great Commission.
Missionaries need prayer, money,
and to be physically visited and helped.
Before you get revved up for the
days of shopping between now and Christmas, pray about the money
you are about to spend. Don't just go out the way the world does,
looking to buy. Consider the giving of the season in prayer.
I have visited a number of missionaries
in difficult places who have with joy and gladness eaten Christmas
dinners that you and I could hardly choke down. I have seen them
get excited over a box of jello sent as a present.
It is sentimentality that jibes
us into buying too much, but it is obedience to the Word of God
that will bring balance.
Christmas is about the Gift of
a Person. Set aside a big wad for the missionaries!!
