God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.

It has to do with seeing God. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).

You don't give God authority over your life. He has it, totally.

Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.

Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.

Forgiveness costs us nothing. All our costly obedience is the fruit, not the root, of being forgiven. That's why we call it grace.

So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.
