As we are focusing on missions as a church this week, I wanted to highlight one of the best books out there on the urgency of the missionary cause, for which a new Third Edition is being published. It is Let the Nations Be Glad by John Piper. The foundational quote from the book:
"Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever."
