A Video About Discipleship - NOT

In my research of Discipleship, I came across the following video...
It is a nice video... but it isn't depicting Discipleship. While I'm being negative let me add a few more critiques. Discipleship is not evangelism and it is not ministry (it includes them, but they are not equivalent as the video implies). It also is wrong when it implies that community does not happen inside a church building. ALSO, Implying that we Christians in the United States are going to save the whole world by sending OUR missionaries ignores the last 40 years or so. IN FACT it is we Christians in the USA who need others to send missionaries to us. Although, you have to admit, the missionary "launching" really looks like a whale of a lot of fun. Programs, events and meetings are not necessarily bad.

But let's not throw the baby out with the bath water... This is a great challenge to churches. "Go" does seem to mean to go to "home," "school," "work," etc. The video calls us to utilize Christian community in order to minister to our neighbors. But "Who," you ask, "is my neighbor?" That's a blog for another day.

Even though my critique is extensive ... I still think it is well worth watching.
