When is it time to shake off the dust?
Rick Thompson at the road we travel passes on some thoughts from a missionary in the field:
HT: Caught in the Middle.
I have a friend who says that no one should be allowed to hear the gospel twice before everyone has heard it once. I don’t totally subscribe to this; however, it is an interesting line of thinking. . .Jesus told his disciples that there's a time to shake the dust off and move on. How far should we go before we shake the dust off today?
Seems to me that Evangelical America spends enormous resources to share the gospel with people who have already heard it again and again and again… While there are 1000’s of people who die everyday having never even heard it even once.

Milton,
('Tis odd that your post indicates no comments and yet I find that someone has sent you an invitation to play Sudoku. Is that some sort of Sudoku trick?)
Thanks for the link to Mr. Thompson's blog re: missions. Lots of food for thought there! The comments were worth reading; the post has a lot of people engaged in a thoughtful and intelligent discussion. In fact, it might be the best collection of comments I've seen at a blog, and that for one simple reason: everything is offered in earnest respect.
Blessings,
Gnade
Thanks for the note. I found the Sudoku quote on my e-mail but couldn't find it on the blog to delete it till you wrote your comment.
Yes, there were good comments there--all offered in respect (with, at least when I looked, not spam!).
Peace.
