Living as we do before Christ's return, we must avoid two extremes. On the one hand, we must not ever allow ourselves to become so at home in this world that we no longer look forward to the the coming of the Lord. But on the other, we must beware of so retreating from this life that we cease to have an impact of the people around us and our culture.
The Lord Jesus calls us to assess the gifts he has given us and the sphere of influence where he has placed us. He has called us to occupy until he comes, according to our gifts and calling. |
