Throughout the Bible there is a recurring theme. The sheer splendor of God demands worship. "From the rising of the sun to its setting, let or may the name of the Lord be praised" (Psalm 113:3). "From the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the Lord of Hosts" (Malachi 1:11). The point is clear, the One True God demands worship. Not only does He demand it, but He will receive it. Philippians 2 expounds on this point, there is coming a day when "every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD to the GLORY of God the Father." Christ will be praised. No one else is worthy of worship. Therefore, Christ alone is the one who will ultimately be worshiped.
So, we go and proclaim Christ in other places because we know that Christ will be worshiped in every place. He has people that He has ransomed from "every tribe and language and people and nation." It is our delight to go so that others might worship. Would you join with us in imploring God to save sinners. Call upon the One who is able to open blinded eyes to the gospel, which is the power of God. Ask God to give us many opportunities to proclaim the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Ask God that we might have boldness to speak of Christ. Ask God that we would be transformed by His grace and and for His glory as we serve Him. Please partner with us by regularly holding us before the throne of grace. We call upon our great God to do great things, for He delights in doing those things for which He alone receives the glory!
