UPCSA Month of Mission: Seeing God’s Heart for the World
/Preacher: Alan Cameron
Verses:
The New Testament scholar Stephen Neill once quipped “If everything is mission, then nothing is mission”, to which the Old Testament scholar Christopher Wright responded “If everything is mission, then everything is mission”. Little wonder that the missiologist David Bosch retorted, “Ultimately mission remains undefinable”. Since the 1950’s there has been a remarkable broadening of the term. Caring for the environment is mission. Community renewal is mission. Blessing our neighbours is mission.
