Greetings,
I’m Bob Niemond, founder of GreatCommission.com. As you can see from the layout of the site, we believe fulfilling the Great Commission comes down to two things: reading the Bible and teaching the Bible. Reading the Bible is all about worship. The degree to which a person worships determines their passion for the mission. The Great Commission must be vertical before it’s horizontal.
Teaching the Bible is fundamental to maturity and the key to making disciples. You will grow more by teaching the Bible than you will by being a student, no matter whose feet you sit at. There is a dimension of spiritual growth that only occurs as you impart the truths of Scripture to others. Communicating the Bible deepens your own spiritual belief.
Additionally, Bible teaching is at the core of multiplication. We trust the Spirit of God to use the word of God to produce the people of God, who naturally do the same for others. To that end, we’ve incorporated simple Bible teaching tools that can be used with anyone, anywhere at any time.
Finally, be warned: making disciples will ruin you. It will completely change your perspective on the Christian life. It will shatter your image of the Great Commission. It will obliterate your viewpoint about what it means to reach the lost. It will reprioritize how you spend your money and what you do with your time. It will vaporize your perception of disciple-making. Those around you may wonder what you’ve gotten into. But they will also want to know more. You will fall in love with people you don’t presently know but are waiting to meet you. You’re about to take a journey that is immeasurably fulfilling and incomparably satisfying. You’re about to begin an adventure that will totally redefine your life. You’re about to get ruined.
God Bless You as you make disciples,
Bob Niemond
