an open letter to david platt

Dear David Platt,

Are you sure that God doesn't want you to pastor in Detroit?

Love,

Rachel

Because we are owned by Christ, we owe Christ to the world. Every saved person this side of heaven owes the gospel to every lost person this side of hell. We owe Christ to the world.

Encompassed with this debt, though, in our contemporary approach to missions, we have subtly taken ourselves out from under the weight of a lost and dying world, wrung our hands in pious concern, and said, "I'm sorry. I'm just not called to that."

The result is tragic. A majority of individuals supposedly saved from eternal damnation by the gospel are now sitting back and making excuses for not sharing the gospel with the rest of the world.

Every single man, woman & child is intended to impact nations for the glory of Christ, and there is a God-designed way for us to live our lives here, and do church here, for the sake of people around the world who don't know Christ.

God saves me so that the nations will know him. He blesses me so that all the earth will see his glory!
