Is Discipling a Command or a Suggestion for Christians? The ripple that Jesus started with twelve men in Israel continued to grow over two centuries to encircle the world. Are the prophecies of the end contingent upon the obedience of the elect to live out the Great Commission? Are we waiting for the return of Jesus or is God waiting for us to finish the work the Son of Man commissioned us to do? I try to answer some big questions and give some hope to many who have struggled to keep moving forward in their faith.
