On today's Footsteps, I ask Tim Whitehead (Executive Director for Galcom International Canada) if he has a sense of urgency these days for proclaiming the Gospel.  Tim responds, "For me, the urgency is to wake up the Church" to the Great Commission.  In fact, when you listen to today's episode, you'll hear some troubling statistics about the Church concerning missions.  I'm reminded of one of the seven letters to the churches found in the early pages of Revelation:

“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.  Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.  Remember, then, what you received and heard.  Keep it, and repent.'" (Revelation 3:1-3a, ESV)

So, I join Tim Whitehead in saying, "Wake up Church!"  The work is not complete.  Let's get serious about sharing the Gospel to "every tribe and language and people and nation" (Revelation 5:9b, ESV).
