We just came in from Brazil and are a little bit jetlag. Imagine if Paul had that capability? You read about his travels and it seemed like he never stopped. Though he did spend time in certain cities and with certain groups of people he was an incredible traveler. He not only traveled he changed world history with his gospel sharing. It's not the same today.
Its not like the message has changed, because it hasn't. It's just that missionaries have changed. Travels these days are so easy. Most missionaries that I know travel mostly to see kids or grandchildren. Even with instant communication via social media, it doesn't matter to most. We want to be with family.
These days there is no urgency for the most part. At least I haven't seen it.
Do we need to be urgent? These days are dark and God's work is ongoing. He still uses people to spread the word. If these are the last days, then maybe this is the love of many waxing cold that Paul talked about.
