Jan and I have just arrived back in Hanoi. We enjoyed worshipping in several congregations while in North America as well as at our denominational bi-annual gathering. At each of these we were reminded of how the nations have come to North America causing amazing cultural diversity.
Whenever we fly to or from Hanoi we are reminded of the many nations and how often people from all nations are in transit. We flew through Vancouver and Tokyo yesterday and wished once again that we were fluent in many languages!
We are called to share the Good News of Jesus in all languages with all nations. God deserves the worship of all peoples. Everyone one day will worship Him but we want them to choose to do so now. We want people from all nations to enjoy our glorious God! Tragically now so many people worship gods that are not gods at all.
O Lord, my strength and my fortress,
my refuge in time of distress,
to you the nations will come
from the ends of the earth and say,
“Our ancestors possessed nothing but false gods,
worthless idols that did them no good. Jeremiah 16:19
Christians anticipate the day when in our eternal home we will worship with all nations and all speak the same language.
