A Purposed Rest Stop
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. (2 Cor. 5:20)
This scripture verse has been coming up a lot lately. Not so much directly all the time either, but it has been showing up. In conversations, as well as some websites, I have noticed that the subject of being an ambassador has come up. In some respects, it is forcing me to do some footwork as to the job of an ambassador.
Check out the definition of ambassador here:
1. A diplomatic official of the highest rank appointed and accredited as representative in residence by one government or sovereign to another, usually for a specific length of time.
2. A diplomatic official heading his or her country's permanent mission to certain international organizations, such as the United Nations.
3. An authorized messenger or representative.
4. An unofficial representative: ambassadors of goodwill.
I sit today and wonder then about the placement of Mobile Ministry Magazine as an ambassador. It is not necessarly different from many tech websites, except that it follows the rules of a different King. And when you come and visit our embassy, it is our hope that you might take back a different picture of how technology draws us together (or apart).
Yes, this is also an equipping station for those already active in ministry. As ambassadors sometimes also need to check into the embassy to get the latest news from their homeland, or receive products that have been shipped to them. But this is all done for the simple reason for being a station purposed to glorify God. So that makes things a bit more controversal (in terms of public opinion); but to those who have been called to different fields and use technology to enhance their abilities to be an ambassador, MMM is a purposed rest stop.
