I hope you are all having a wonderful week thus far! Even amidst the chaos, God is good.  I don't have much to write today, but I would like to leave you with a passage and a small note. My husband and I have been reading through Romans together, and though there is so much deep and beautiful doctrine in the epistle, there is one passage I'd like to highlight today: Romans 10:13-15. The passage reads:

13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”

As Christians, we are called to share the good news of the gospel. Jesus gave us the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20, commanding us to go out into all the world, sharing the gospel and teaching God's Word.  Paul reiterates the importance of this commission in Romans 10:13-15. For those of us who are Christians, we have experienced salvation and certainly hope that those around us will also be able to rejoice in Christ's saving grace. However, as much as we talk among ourselves about the necessity for missions and evangelism, how can we expect to see any come to faith in Christ if no one is actually moving forward to share the gospel? As Paul writes, people need to hear the gospel, and it is our responsibility to share the gospel with everyone around us. Furthermore, it is our responsibility to support pastors, evangelists, and missionaries in their ministries, ensuring they have the resources, support, and opportunities to preach God's Word to local congregations, to the community at large, and to people abroad. Though the events of last year and their continuing impact into this year has certainly disrupted the normalcy in our personal and church lives, let us not forsake the command we have been given to take the gospel out in the world, sharing with people the love and teachings of Christ and supporting our pastors and evangelists. 

​In Christ,
Alexis Chambers
