The problem with Western christianity is it is taken for granted the freedom it has. "The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight;" is not suggested in the pulpit. For the Western church has been endued with the power of the Holy Spirit as well as the Holy Horror from Man which says just let your light shine and they will come. Such a perversion of the gospel. How will they hear if one is not sent and how will one know if one does not hear? Did people throughout all the world hear of the gospel or did someone just sit there and smile? Yes! I believe we start in our backyard and work our way forward because even the disciples(disciplined) did so as well. First they became disciples and then became disciplers!
