The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad! Psalm 97:1
Many years ago, I heard a man make the statement that Christianity
would be almost nonexistent by the year 2000. And while it’s true that
there has been a decline of people who call themselves believers in many
areas of the world, the church is also growing rapidly in other parts.
In China, for example, it’s estimated that 20,000 people every day are
trusting Jesus as Savior. In Africa, the church is growing dramatically,
as it is in South America and across parts of Asia. These areas,
commonly called the “Global South,” are seeing an intense and passionate
response to the Gospel.
So what does that tell us? Well, I think those of us in the Western
world have a duty to support and encourage the spreading of the
Christian message in these parts of the world. Also, we need to open our
hearts to learning from our faithful brothers and sisters around the
globe and not think that we hold all the answers here.
It’s good to thank God for your country this Thanksgiving. But let’s
never forget that our God is a global God. So get involved in what He’s
doing around the world by praying, giving, and going to make His name
known among all nations!
SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE THE WORLDWIDE BODY OF FAITH BY PRAYING, GIVING, AND GOING TO BRING CHRIST TO EVERY NATION!
