The Great Commission & the Great Commandment

Sometimes we confuse the Great Commission (making disciples through the gospel) with the Great Commandment (serving our neighbors through loving works) as if the official mission of the church is the same as the individual Christian’s many obligations in the world. If Christians are called to citizenship, social justice, and good works in the world, does this mean that the calling of the church as an institution is to transform the kingdoms of this age? This special edition of the White Horse Inn was recorded live at the Gospel Coalition in Chicago; and features special guest Julius Kim, associate professor of practical theology at Westminster Seminary California (originally aired 07-10-11).
