The Great Commission: A Paradigm for Ministry in the Local Church

In this editorial, Paul Tripp argues that The Great Commission is not only a missionary commission; it is also a pastoral, fellowship, and counseling commission that sets the paradigm for every aspect of local church ministry. Tripp maintains that it clarifies our goal, our methodology, our attitude and our hope. Tripp concludes that The Journal of Biblical Counseling finds its identity and mission not in the world of therapy but in the world of The Great Commission.
