When we begin to follow Jesus, we automatically are called to be a missionary. Why do we continue, particularly, in Baptist churches refer to a certain group of Christians as missionaries? Isn't it time for us to change our lingo to match what the bible actually teaches? It would be better if our hearts changed, I know--but, if we would start preaching the right message about mission, by God's grace, someone will get it--maybe my generation, maybe the next.
We are all missionaries--we are all on mission--every day and in every place God's providence takes us and plants.
Does God call some to specific places? Sure...but, the rest of us have just as an urgent a "calling" given to us by Jesus.
Let's stop making our excuses and get on board the mission train--life is a mission trip, we are resident aliens called to proclaim His glorious goodness.
Man...I needed that.
