We are training people to be contributors and servants, not spectators and consumers. - Colin Marshall

We are all captive to our traditions and influenced by them more than we realize. And the effect of tradition and long practice is not always that some terrible error becomes entrenched; more often it is that our focus shifts away from our main task and agenda, which is disciple-making. We become so used to doing things one way (often for good reason at first) that important elements are neglected and forgotten, to our cost. We become imbalanced, and then wonder why we go in circles.

Batizando’ e ‘ensinando’ são os meios pelos quais os discípulos devem ser feitos” (pp. 19)

We have to conclude that a Christian with no passion for the lost is in serious need of self-examination and repentance.
