Don't wait for the "call"..

So you're probably thinking in your head "GASP.. don't wait for the call? What is this girl talking about?"

Well I still remember the time that Ps. Greg Wendschlag spoke in our youth service in 2008. Ps. Greg talked about becoming a mature Christian.. meaning that we didn't have to always "wait" for God to tell us to do something. Mature Christians should already be able to make certain choices on their own. However, I'm not saying that they shouldn't take into account what God has to say. Rather, mature Christians should already be in full connection with God, and they should already know what would please and honor God and what would not.

So what does this have to do with the World Missions Summit? Well, before a missions trip comes along, we always say, "I'll pray and ask God whether I should go to this missions trip or not." There isn't anything wrong with asking God for guidance, but if there is a need in a country with people who are hurting and crying, do we really have to "wait"? We must act simply because there is a need out there in the world. A need for a loving God who extends His mercy and grace on His children through the salvation given through His Son who sacrificed His everything. There isn't enough time for us to be "waiting" for an answer because there are thousands/millions of lives that pass away without hearing the name of Jesus Christ. The cry for help should already stir up the compassion and burden for the loss. God acts when His children cry for help. Shouldn't we?
