As Ye Go


Matthew 10:7 KJV
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Two things I see in this right off

We are to go.
There were some restrictions for the Apostles as to where they were to go, but those restrictions have been removed today.

Matt 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (KJV)

Mark 16:15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (KJV)

Our concern today is not where we go, but that we go.

As we go we are to preach
Our ministry parameters are clear. We are not to go so that we can
Feed the poor
Train the nationals in a better polity, or
Give the people a civilized culture

These may be results of our ministry and in some cases, we may use these to enhance our ability to do the ministry. But our ministry is simple; preach.

We are to preach. We are to give people around the world the message of Jesus Christ.


If we do all the other and leave this undone, we have failed.
