So outside the camp there was potential danger and the risk of uncleanness. The camp was comfortable and safe and clean and sacred. It represents at least the priority of evangelism and world missions. Drug dealers are outside the camp. Pimps and prostitutes are outside the camp.
Unpredictable gangs are outside the camp.
Your unbelieving colleague or neighbor or classmate is outside the camp. And outside the camp are all the unreached peoples of the world. The light should shine in the dark. And it's dark outside the camp. The third indispensable priority of Bethlehem Baptist Church must be to break out of our comfortable camp and move in the world where it is dark and risky and foreign and uncomfortable and dangerous.
