Every man is a missionary

Thinking about the spiritual gift of evangelism as I was preparing for Sunday’s sermon on Eph. 4:11-12, I came across this statement from Thomas Chalmers, who reminds us that spiritual gift or not, obedience to testify to the gospel of Christ or not, every individual is still a missionary:

Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not.  He may be a blot radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference of society, or he may be a blessing spreading benediction over the length and breadth of the world.  But a blank he cannot be:  there are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters.
