Sins Of Omission

We are so preoccupied with our own lives and the daily issues in our churches that we overlook the challenges faced by churches in other lands. Our sin is not one of commission but rather omission. Sins of omission are sometimes the most difficult ones to address. To do so requires intentional and relentless self-examination, a commitment to serve those in greatest need, and a keen awareness of the broader world in which God has placed us. Only then can we become consistent and effective in using our considerable resources for the benefit of the church worldwide.

The Hole In Our Gospel, Richard Stearns
