What does God expect of us? That is the question on the cover of The Hole in Our Gospel, a book by the president of World Vision, Richard Stearns. It has been months since I’ve read a book that challenged my thinking as much as this one. The founder of World Vision once prayed “Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.” I’ve prayed that prayer often recently and have loved how God has answered it and given me new eyes to see others and circumstances differently. I want and need His eyes!
A friend of the author suggested that if believers cut out all the scriptures we pay no attention to, or just ignore, what would our Bibles look like? They would truly be full of holes.
The author reminds us “that being a Christian, or follower of Jesus Christ, requires much more than just having a personal and transforming relationship with God. It also entails a public and transforming relationship with the world.” May God give us open doors to be His voice and hands in reaching out to others today.
