Comments on: Choosing a Mission Field: Strategic Places and Strategic Living http://wayoflifevillage.org/2008/09/25/strategic-living Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:24:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Ed http://wayoflifevillage.org/2008/09/25/strategic-living/comment-page-1#comment-1088 Ed Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:51:16 +0000 http://wayoflifevillage.org/2008/09/25/strategic-living/#comment-1088 Amen brother. What is really cool is that once we embrace that call to live out the gospel with all that we are, then the possibilities to live out the great commission are as many as their are places on this earth. The other interesting thing is that although God can, has, and does give people specific calls to go to specific places, he has already given us the call to love God and love our neighbors and all that is revealed to us in our pursuit of Christ is applicable now and anywhere and everywhere. Finally, this gives us a lot of freedom to move about this earth in strategic and intentional obedience to God. I also think of Paul and the plans and desires he had to go to certain places and yet God used him continually even while Paul's plans were regularly thwarted by weather and/or incarceration. I think a life focused on faithfulness to God will always lead us in very strategic places where God can manifest HIS glory. Amen brother.
