Missions and Worship
Posted on Saturday, May 2, 2009 by Dwayne
I posted this on the our home page, but I wanted to post it in News for anyone who might be following.
“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever.” ~ John Piper “Let the Nations be Glad”
Someone suggested this book to me, and the very first paragraph changed my perspective. Why do we want to go? …because worship is missing. And it is missing every where.
