How Modern Technology Fuels Modern Missions In a previous post, I spoke about the profound connection between money and missions. Today I want to talk about tech, tools, and missions, and how they can benefit missionaries serving abroad and the advancement of the gospel in difficult places. When many Christians think of missions, their minds often go back centuries to a bygone era. We think of William Carey, David Livingstone, and the heroic age of long sea voyages and handwr

Why God’s Economy Matters for the Great Commission Many Christians today have misconceptions about money. It’s often treated as something dirty or inherently evil, as if Scripture says “money is the root of all evil.” But that’s not what the Bible teaches. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. The problem isn’t money itself; the problem is when we love money and what it can provide more than we love and treasure Jesus Christ, the Gospel, and the Kingdom of God. Th

As a frontline missionary, I find that evangelism is always on my mind. We intentionally engage the lost, day after day, year after year, for Christ and through a variety of means. From time to time, however, I remember that most Christians have other occupations, not frontline mission work.

The need for true and proper learning in the Christian family unit and to the ends of the earth The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Prov. 1:7 In the world of missions, most Christians still think primarily of humanitarian work among tribal people or the impoverished. At PMc, we challenge that notion as we support biblical missions proper among sophisticated but unreached people groups such as Italians (and Europeans mor

Lessons from Hebrews 5–6 Have you ever noticed how easy it is to drift spiritually when life feels comfortable or when things are going well? The author of Hebrews observed exactly that in his audience. After years of peace—perhaps post-persecution, post-temple destruction—the believers had grown dull of hearing. They ought to have been teachers, but they needed milk again instead of solid food ( Hebrews 5:11–14 ). Comfort, it seems, had dulled their spiritual senses. The goo

Watch Out for the Deviations And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.” - Colossians 4:17 (ESV) At the closing of Paul’s letter to the believers in Colossae, he sends a message to his “fellow soldier” [1] . We don’t know a lot about this man, but we do know, since Paul refers to him as a fellow soldier of the Lord, that he was living actively for the glory and honor of Christ. He wasn’t, in other words, comfortable on the si

Discover the shocking reality of modern mission agencies in Europe: unrealistic claims of rapid church planting clash with biblical truth and on-the-ground challenges in post-Christian contexts. Explore pragmatic shortcuts, theological pitfalls, and the call for long-term, faithful missions.

Proverbs 26:12 warns of those wise in their own eyes—unbelievers blinded by pride, suppressing God’s truth. This devotional explores their self-deception, the supernatural work of evangelism, and the hope found in proclaiming Christ. Ends with a prayer for courage to share the Gospel boldly.
