You may never have been sent abroad to minister, but you have a mission.
You may never have been ordained, but you have a congregation.
Love God. Bring His children to Him. All followers of Christ bear the same commission, whether seminary graduates or high school dropouts. We all have the same commandments to keep, too—and God judges us all with unsettling equality.
We are called to serve Him in our immediate community. Since when did that call apply only if you live in a developing country? And since when, I ask, do the responsibilities of being a Christian only apply to those wearing a robe and speaking before a crowd on Sundays?
Your mission is to bear his gospel through your thoughts, words, and actions.
And your congregation is greater than you think. Your friends, and your enemies. Your classmates, and your coworkers. Your teachers, and your students. Your parents, and your children.
Spread the Word.
"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received" (Ephesians 4:1)
