The Great Commission

Matt. 28:19-20

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Does this say we are to focus on reaching the lost? How about knocking on doors? Are we supposed to focus all our efforts in passing out tracts, bibles or giving to missions?

Don't misunderstand me. It is NEVER wrong to share the gospel......UNLESS the Holy Spirit does not allow you to (Acts 16:6-7)! But what does the "Great Commission" tell us to do?

1. Go

2. Teach / make disciples

3. Baptize

I think most churches have it backwards today. What has happened to discipleship? I'm just not seeing it.

Also, we are getting all caught up in doing "good" things that we are not always doing what God intends for us to do! Could you imagine Paul protesting an abortion clinic? Maybe, but more than likely he would not because he was called to something else. Doing that "good thing" would take him away from what God wanted him to do.

Just some thoughts.

2 Thes. 2:15

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

Acts 2:42

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
