Fully committed

Paul says in Romans 1.14, "I am in debt to both the Greeks and the non-Greeks, to the wise and to the foolish.’

I am not sure exactly what he is saying, but I understand his conclusion int he following verse: "So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome."

It reminds me of Andrea, a young Mexican gal who was chomping at the bit to head off to the Middle East as a missionary...


On a Sunday morning, 22 years ago, Andrea had tickets for Wednesday flight. On Sunday we woke up to the news that war had been declared in response to the horror of the Twin Towers the previous month. We all knew Andrea could not fly out to the Muslim world in light of the changing situation.

But she walked to the front of the congregation and calmly assured us, “Now more than ever, I need to go.” She continued, "What’s more, Woe to me, if I do not go.

Andrea, much like Paul, was 100% committed.

No turning back, no choosing the easy way out.
