The Cross and missions
“If you love the cross like we sing; you must love what it was designed to do. Namely, gather a people from every people group on planet earth. If you don’t love that, you don’t love the cross. You’re creating it in your own imagination.”
John Piper, “How Few There Are Who Die So Hard! Suffering and Success In the Life of Adoniram Judson: The Cost of Bringing Christ to Burma”, 2003 Bethlehem Conference for Pastors.
