JDC at BJU

Yesterday J.D. Crowley (EMU missionary in Cambodia) preached the first of four messages during Missions Emphasis Week at Bob Jones University in Greenville, SC:

A Christian is someone who cannot bear the thought that there are places on earth where God is not famous. We make Him famous by talking about Him—not only by giving propositions but by recounting what He has done. The Story revealed in the Bible was unknown in northeastern Cambodia. It is unknown in much of the world. It is increasingly unknown in the United States. Propositions alone—apart from the contextual Story—are incomplete. “Hobbits are remarkable creatures”; “Friendship is important”; and “Sometimes you have to walk alone” have much more meaning within a much larger context.
