How does the encroachment of post modern thinking affect missions?
According to the text, it’s chipping away at the truth. Truth is no longer thought to be absolute. As John mentioned above, There’s more and more nationalities being mixed. Due to studies or what it may be. There’s more beliefs being found in the States. More ideas of Salvation, some seem more compelling to others. Losing what we believed as absolute truth is affecting missions.
Can you make a case for missions from the OLD TESTAMENT? It is easy to see missions in the New Testament but can you make a compelling case in the Old Testament?
One of the biggest things that stuck out to me was during Act 1: Creation and the Fall… God Creates.. From the beginning it’s known that God is the creator of the universe and establishes his concern for the people he creates. “That concern is not limited by racial, political, gender, economic or religious boundaries.” The Old Testament lays a foundation of who God is. He cares about all of his people. I guess a big reason this sticks out to me is the current sermon series we’re going through. We’ve been discussing the value that God places on everybody. No matter where you put your feet, the people you see were created by the same God that created you.
