Oh my! For goodness sakes! If this does not motivate you to carry out The Great Commission, what will? Do you work for the ‘do-little-sit-more’ Church? Remember, The Great Commission is a not a suggestion, it is a command from JESUS!
Three Things You Can Do Today to Carry Out the Great Commission
Way too many Christians are self absorbed. I see it! Is there Church unity in your community? Not much here in Albuquerque, as so many love their own kingdom.
What would happen if all the Churches in all communities across America would unite for JESUS and carry out The Great Commission? Oh My! GLORY! But, TRAGICALLY, too many Pastors are self absorbed in their own so-called kingdom. Why walls? EGO!
I love this comment by Colson Brooks, “You don’t have to know all the details to take the first step.” I never have to know the first step or fourth step. I know I drive people crazy at times, but I just go with God. You cannot lose! Keep the faith!

Colson Brooks learned the importance of taking just one step during the two years he spent as a Missionary Explorer for the International Mission Board (“IMB”).
He and his partner Missionary Explorer Caleb Spannagel – they returned home unscathed this summer – took countless steps as they traversed Colombia and Peru, searching for unengaged, unreached people groups, but each time it was just one step at a time.
“You don’t have to know all the details to take the first step,” Brooks told Baptist Press, referring to Psalm 119:105, Your Word is a lamp to my feet; a light to my path. (NASB) “A lamp gives just enough illumination for the next step. You just have to trust Him to guide you each step of the way.”
Brooks and Spannagel were recent college graduates when they separately were approved in 2023 for IMB service as two-year Missionary Explorers assigned together to the Amazon jungles of Colombia. In time, after their IMB missionary “boss” (unnamed for security reasons) learned they were in the hunting grounds of armed insurgents, Brooks and Spannagel looked south, to the Andes mountains of Peru.

Pastor Dewey Moede: This is the very best explanation of why there is so much evil in the world:
“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts” (Ephesians 4:17-18).
The Scriptures call the mind of the natural man “blinded” (2 Corinthians 4:4), “depraved” (Romans 1:28), “corrupt” (1 Timothy 6:5), and “unspiritual” (Colossians 2:18). The natural mind thinks from a humanistic, sin-debased viewpoint. The viewpoint of the flesh directs its thoughts. The sinful mind is under the control of Satan and can never please God because it concentrates on things of the world and not things of the Spirit. The natural mind walks the road of hopelessness and self-destruction.
Do you carry out The Great Commission?
The world needs JESUS! Are you carrying out The Great Commission daily in your community? Or do you work for the ‘sit-more-do-little’ church?
