Looking at his time period, perhaps we can rightly critique the Westernization that served as a primary element in what some missionaries were doing. Of course, Dr. Livingstone was one of the more effective missionaries because he understood and maintained a passion for the culture in which he was working.<br /><br /><br />http://unapologeticapologist.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-73314308626806312922011-11-29T08:49:49.741-08:002011-11-29T08:49:49.741-08:00This is even borne out in the expansion of "C...This is even borne out in the expansion of "Christianity" (Catholicism) in early and medieval Europe. Conquered people groups changed religions but their hearts were never changed. The people changed religions if their leaders changed and the RCC claimed great victories and converted countries when in truth they knew nothing of Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-42119366224278491552011-11-29T08:45:19.768-08:002011-11-29T08:45:19.768-08:00Awesome sermon snippet from The Prince of Preacher...Awesome sermon snippet from The Prince of Preachers!

Thanks...What an incredibly wise minister of Christ. Thanks for sharing this full and deep thought from the "prince of preachers".<br /><br />"when conquerors begin to preach the gospel to those they have conquered, it will not succeed"<br /><br />This is America's problem as well. We set up our military in another nation and act like we rule, and we don't expect these people to dislike us?<br />We need to take care of our own, as a nation, and a nation with the Holy Writ as our foundation. America isn't the Church, but we are a unique nation.<br /><br />Have a great week in our Savior's truth. The truth that he loves, and nothing in the universe can seperate us from that love.
