Ministry Minus the Megaphone

http://your.sydneyanglicans.net/mission/missionthinking/ministry_minus_the_megaphone/

[your.sydneyanglicans.net] 8 Dec 2007--It is difficult to argue with C. S. Lewis’ famous sentiment that “pain is God’s megaphone to rouse a deaf world”. But what do you do when your nation is characterized by health and prosperity? How can God’s message be heard above the deafening sound of materialism?

This is a central issue that challenges our efforts at evangelism and mission in this present evil age.

Interestingly, but not surprisingly, God’s word offers us a way forward from this strategic and spiritual quandary. And it is found in a most unlikely part of the Bible.
