Summary
Often there is so much focus in our churches on the first part of Christ's Great Commission-evangelism-that the second part is omitted. The omission is not the preaching of Christ or the importance of world mission; it is the teaching of others on what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus. The sad result is generations of believers trying to be different from the world and not understanding why they aren't.
