Jesus appointed every believer to full time Christian ministry. Local churches are straying away from the Gospel and the Great Commission as given and understood by the first disciples. But why? They may not know the gospel at all. Often, the answer is because of pressured conformity to the world's way of thinking. The world has conditioned local churches to think their duty is to serve the goats. Written in a solid, biblical, expository style, pastor and author Joel A. Taylor shares his years of practical insights on the current state of the local church - and how to understand and reproduce Christ's message regarding His Great Commission to all believers. What does the Great Commission mean? What does it involve? Who does it involve? What is the responsibility of Christians? What is the definition of a disciple? How do you 'make a disciple'? This book by Joel A. Taylor answers many questions often asked by Christians.
