The goal isn't to save souls and plant churches.
These are just the initial steps in bringing entire nations to the ways of Christ's kingdom (Mt.28:18-20).
And we're not to stop pursuing this mission until:
- Jesus is acknowledged as Lord over all
- Governments serve under Him with justice and righteousness
- Schools honor God in all they teach
- Business is conducted honestly and ethically
- Art and entertainment glorifies God
- Science and technology are used for godly ends
- The media upholds truth
- And God's design for families and social welfare are followed
When we consider this as the mission God has for us, we can see we need a larger vision.
We can also see we have a lot of work to do.
