When the truth of the Word of God is proclaimed, it sets people free. The desire of people today to know the truth and be free mirrors the desire of people during the societal upheaval of the 1960s. During that time period, The Jesus Movement was proclaiming truth and freedom through Jesus Christ. And lives were radically transformed. That same work continues today, through many who experienced transformation themselves.
In today's episode, I discuss truth and freedom with missionary and Bible translator, Dave Skinner of Network Bible Translators. Dave was introduced to Christ during The Jesus Movement and has never looked back. His missionary work includes preaching the Gospel and bringing both written and audio translations to people who need to hear the Good News. Dave encourages others to set aside anything holding them back and to go forth and preach the Gospel. There is always power in the Word of God to transform lives but truth must be preached so people can be set free. And God has called all believers to this work.
