In this audiobook, I hope to address four primary categories, which in my opinion, have done damage to our efforts of fulfilling the Lord’s direct mandate.

The study that evening was in Acts 13:13, which talks about the Apostle Paul's first Bible-recorded missionary journey. It says, "Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem." So when the company ...
