“Here is the message – ‘repentance and forgiveness of sins to be preached in his name to all nations.’ When it becomes something other than forgiveness and repentance, then the gospel itself is lost in the process. When we forget that the job of the church is to proclaim the message of repentance and forgiveness, the future of any church is bleak. We need to be reminded every day through God’s Word, ‘As the Father has sent me, I am sending you… to every people group… with a message.’ The only question is – Will we be faithful to respond? We are sent as missionaries, the only question is – Are we good ones?”
