Tunnel Vision

Some people believe we shouldn’t emphasize foreign missions so much because it is decreasing efforts to reach Americans.

Some think we can’t help plant a church in another state because we’re too busy reaching our own.

Some can’t support efforts to reach the inner city for fear we’ll miss those in the suburbs who need Jesus.

And some are worried their relationship with Christ won’t last through the week if they attend one less worship service, Bible study, or fellowship time in favor of reaching out to their neighbor.

When we neglect the world, our vision narrows until all that is left is ourselves. May God not only help us see that He sufficient to save the whole world; His Spirit has empowered His church to do just that.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” – Acts 1:8, KJV
