Paul Tripp: How Your Brokenness Actually HELPS Your Mission

August 6, 2013 by Verge Network Articles

“You can’t be so focused on mission that you forget your own desperate need for the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Everybody who is doing mission is yet a sinner, because mission is done between the not ready and the not yet. Already Christ has come, already His Word has been given, already His Spirit has been given, already His grace has begun to transform me, but not yet is that work done. And so I’m still a sinner, the power of sin has been broken, the presence of sin still remains.

So, we don’t want subtle little tension, subtle little pressures, subtle little disagreements to begin to corrupt our marriage, because we haven’t been paying attention to our need for ministry as we’re giving ministry.”
