<\/a>Not only was this Steve Green\u2019s message, it is also God\u2019s message. It is what we as Christians are to be doing. We are called to follow Christ and then we are to share the message with others. As we travel on this journey we are to do a few things.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We must learn. We must live holy lives. We must be devoted. We must proclaim. We must serve. We must be diligent. We must be single-minded. We must share God\u2019s message. We must make disciples.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t matter where we are (across the street or around the world), this is how we are to live.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This particular song wasn\u2019t radical for its day, but I recall the difference this song made in my life. It brought to my mind a responsibility on my part to my part for God\u2019s Kingdom. And that is what so many songs have done through my life. Pointed me to God and helped me to see what I needed to do to make my relationship with Him a little sweeter.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So today, take a look at Steve Green\u2019s song, \u201cThe Mission.\u201d See if it might not make an impact on your life as it did mine.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There’s a call going out
\nAcross the land in every nation
\nA call to those who swear allegiance to the cross of Christ
\nA call to true humility, to live our lives responsibly
\nTo deepen our devotion to the cross at any price<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let us then be sober, moving only in the Spirit
\nAs aliens and strangers in a hostile foreign land
\nThe message we’re proclaiming is repentance and forgiveness
\nThe offer of salvation to a dying race of man<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chorus:
\nTo love the Lord our God
\nIs the heartbeat of our mission
\nThe spring from which our service overflows
\nAcross the street
\nOr around the world
\nThe mission’s still the same
\nProclaim and live the Truth
\nIn Jesus’ name<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As a candle is consumed by the passion of the flame
\nSpilling light unsparingly throughout a darkened room
\nLet us burn to know Him deeper
\nThen our service flaming bright
\nWill radiate his passions
\nAnd blaze with holy light<\/p>\n
(Chorus)[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
