Clearly Jesus did not leave the work of evangelism subject to human impression
or convenience.
To his disciples it was a definite command, perceived by impulse at the beginning of their discipleship, but progressively clarified in their
thinking as they followed him, and finally spelled out in no uncertain terms.
No one who followed Jesus very far could escape this conclusion. It was so then; it
is so today.
Christian disciples are sent men and women—sent out in the same work of world evangelism to which the Lord was sent, and for which he gave his life.
Evangelism is not an optional accessory to our life. It is the heartbeat of all that we are called to be and do. It is the commission of the church that gives meaning to all else that is undertaken in the name of Christ.
With this purpose clearly in focus, everything that is done and said has glorious fulfillment of God’s redemptive purpose—educational institutions, social programs, hospitals, church
meetings of any kind—everything done in the name of Christ has its justification
in fulfilling this mission.

…………………………………
You cannot say you are a follower of Christ and the mission of Christ isn’t paramount in your heart.
The objective of everything God is doing on earth is SAVING MEN AND EQUIPPING MEN TO SAVE MORE MEN. That’s it.
Whatever you call the purpose or focus of your calling or ministry, if it isn’t doing this, it is not an authentic Christian ministry.
An authentic Christian ministry has Christ’s objective has its focus, Christ has the method, Christ has the curriculum and Christ has the goal.
We are partakers of what He has come to do and now we become partners with Him.
Except we have other agendas, you cannot and should not be comfortable with doing good works and souls are not getting saved.
Everything we do must point to that single focus which is GET MEN SAVED, EQUIP MEN TO GET MORE MEN SAVED.
Selah.
We are men and women on a mission!
