We need to focus on the heavenly perspective while being aware of the earthly perspective. What is the goal in making disciples? Are we just in the business of making converts or do we desire to journey with other believers for the purpose of growth and maturity? Are we sharing our faith with people out of obligation or because we take seriously the commands to love God with all our hearts and love others as ourselves? Are we giving fellow believers freedom to struggle, grieve, and fail in order to grow or are we simply concerned with outward appearances? These are just some questions that come to mind when thinking about perspective. We need to remember that we are not alone in our desire to make disciples; the Holy Spirit is with us always; he is guiding, directing, correcting, equipping, convicting, exhorting, etc.
