Why are there unreached people groups?
"They're hard to reach..."
Agreed.
But I also believe that we always seem to think that "someone else" will do it. We may be a whole as the Church... but individual people make up that Church. And we all have our own hearts and minds. Sad as it is, we don't live as one person, as one body. We don't attempt to think with one mind in general. I mean, it's near impossible to do so, I think, because God created us to be unique and different. And that's really cool. It's just that I don't feel we all have the same vision or goal. So first of all, reaching those unreached people groups may or may not be a priority, depending on who you're talking to. Next, we are a stagnant people these days. We're lazy. We like things done quickly. We like to see results right here, right now.
"Out of sight, out of mind."
My brothers and sisters, this should not be.
Think. Pray. Wait. Go.
'And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For god was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.'
[Colossians 1:18-20]
