Ministers Without Pulpit: Reawakening Disciple Makers to their Calling

You will never accomplish the great commission if you remain within the four walls of the church. Now, this is not me advising you to leave the church. No! I am simply saying focusing on staying within the four walls, and enlarging the four walls isn’t really what the great commission is all about.

Our mission as believers is to save nations and not just to evangelize individuals and build churches. God is not terribly concerned with the church size and church ministries. They are all sidelights to His primary goal, which is for all nations to be saved and walk after Him in Kingdom principles. The church fulfills her mandate when it changes society, not when it’s confined to the sanctuary and Sunday school classroom. The church is to build the kingdom of God in a nation. The kingdom must overflow into the streets and workplaces, government, and entertainment venues. That is the nature of the kingdom; to grow and take over. The kingdom is meant to inhabit the entire earth and not just church sanctuary. And we can only do this when you and I step out and live out the kingdom in every sphere, not waiting for pulpit opportunities.
