This looks like it’s going to be a good series at Resurgence. Here’s an excerpt:
Yet, despite this most obvious feature of Jesus’ life, which he passes on to us as an ever-abiding commandment (Matthew 28:19-20), many of us find it challenging to have a lifestyle of mission like Jesus. Below are ten common reasons that can keep us from the mission Jesus has called us to:
- Too busy
- Inadequate community support
- Uncertainty of beliefs
- Negative view of conversion
- Loss of free time
- Lack of common interests
- Fear of condemnation
- Fear of corruption
- Fear about what to say
- Loss of relationship
