Light & Heat: A Passion for the Holiness of God: 2011 National Conference
The highest motive for missions and evangelism is not obedience to the Great Commission, although obedience is required. Nor is the highest motive love for sinners, great as that love may be. The greatest motive for missions and evangelism is a passionate zeal for the glory of Jesus Christ. As Dr. John Piper explains in this lecture, worship of the living God is the fuel and goal of missions and evangelism.
