Gospel intentionality and mission


"Being gospel-centered means we’re word-centered (because the gospel is a message; it is good news), and it means being mission-centered (because the gospel is a message to be proclaimed; it is good news)...

Most gospel ministry involves ordinary people doing ordinary things with gospel intentionality. It means doing the chores, having meals, watching sports, and so on with an intention to talk about Jesus, to pastor one another with the gospel, and to share that gospel with unbelievers. It's about a whole life lived in mission and community, in which we're always looking to build relationships and always looking to talk about Jesus. "
— Tim Chester

Doing ordinary things with gospel intentionality is to live, within the rhythms of everyday life, in such a way that opens up opportunities to communicate the truths of the gospel. Jonathan Dodson has 8 suggestions what doing ordinary things with gospel intentionality might look like. In light of the Great Commission (Matt 28:16-20), how might we, here in Malaysia, live with gospel intentionality? Feel free to throw in suggestions in the comments!
