S.I. — Recall the son of the seminary president who was confronted because he had a girl in his room after midnight. He threatened, "DO YOU KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS!!? He will throw you out of here!"

Confucianism in Korea.

Seminaries are driving the Church instead of submitting to the church.

Politics!

May have begun "God’s way" but gradually turns to "man’s ways."

Insensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Denominational divisions (OPERATION WORLD)

Not reproducible "out in the field."

Educational debt is the most common reason that prevents people from reaching the mission field.

Pride (The title of Ph.D. is considered better than Pastor!)

Too many "papers" to write; "no time to read the Bible!" (TESTIMONY)

(Revelation 2:2-5, NKJV)

2 "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;

3 "and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.

4 "Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

5 "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place--unless you repent.

(Ezekiel 33:31,32, NKJV)

31 "So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.

32 "Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.

(Ephesians 6:4, NKJV)

4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

(Deuteronomy 6:5-9, NKJV)

6 "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.

7 "You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

8 "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9 "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

(1 Timothy 3:4,5, NKJV)

4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence

Too far away from the real concerns of the common man "on the street."

Fossilized "OLD WINE SKINS."

The church has become irrelevant to young people! (TESTIMONY)

Every Christian in every culture needs to master the Inductive Bible Study method. Every culture needs to go directly to God’s Word and discover for themselves a BIBLICAL Theology. This is what missiologists refer to as being "Self-Theologizing."

Only 3 units of the 32 are on mission.

God Himself is a missionary God: He gave up His privileges, and became LIKE US in order to REACH US.

All Christians must be equipped for Cross-Cultural Ministry because if they only evangelize within their own ethnic groups, MOST of the WORLD will be neglected!
