In review of the sermon, Aggressive Christianity written by Catherine Booth in the late 1800’s. Booth suggest that we as Christians lack the desire to adapt the world to executing Matthew 28: 18-20 as stated, “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (NIV). The Great Commission has taken on the Spirit of Apathy due to the conservativeness of the very Elect, as well as those who have a so called relationship with God.

God has an expectation for His Will to be done. Booth explores that We have not taken on our responsibility, in her writing, here we are in the “nineteen hundred years later”, and this is how far we have come, with “little that has been done” (Booth). Then on the other hand, some have the mindset that a great deal has been accomplished and we should be grateful for this accomplishment. Booth directly states that what has been accomplished is like a pebble in a large ocean. Booth also shares that She cannot accept any “theory that shares that God is to blame and shift the responsibility back to God” (Booth).

Applied Ministry
This sermon has really inspired me to take to Gospel to the next level. Booth leaves you empowered and inspired that you do not want to leave any key unturned. She details how the New Testament church had the zeal and passion to spread the Gospel and we the Church from her time and I would have to say today have lost our zeal. My intended context is to keep the Church awake and focus on the Great Commission. We don’t have a choice this is a Charge given to the Church. Initially, I would intend to help the Believer to know who they are in Christ. I believe that today’s church is not equipped enough and confident enough to Go ye therefore. I believe that
