Is it to spread the gospel or is it just to get married.
Mine is definitely to spread the gospel by any possible, biblically-sound means. I haven't had anywhere near the type of success rate that I desire while doing so, but I still try to plant the seeds of the gospel wherever and whenever I can.
Marriage? Highly unlikely that it's in the cards for me. Like maybe a one in a billion chance. Sticking with the cards analogy, I'm just trying my best, with God's help, to play the hand that he has dealt me. Although it would be nice to have the right female companion, I ultimately trust that God knows what is best for me. He's the potter, and I'm the clay. If I'm meant to be a vessel who stands alone in order to best fulfill his purposes in my life, then so be it. This doesn't mean that I don't ever think about a possible mate, but it does mean that such thoughts make up a very, very tiny percent of my overall thoughts. Like 1% or less.
And has anyone here been on mission trips, if so, can you share what its like. Thanks would love to know. How do you know when and where you are called?
I was supposed to go on a mission trip to Russia many years ago, but I backed out of it after attending just the first meeting. In that meeting, what I believe to be the true gospel message was blatantly and openly mocked, and "friendship evangelism" was pushed in its place. Now, my mission field is simply wherever I am at any given moment in time. Again, I haven't had anywhere near the type of success rate that I desire, but I do believe that I have, with the help of God, positively influenced some people in relation to the coming kingdom of God, and I'm thankful for that.
