The document discusses why people should become missional/attractional in order to share God's love with others. It notes that God loves people, and as Christians who love God, we should love what God loves. It then outlines how just one effective disciple maker can lead to thousands and eventually millions of people coming to know Christ over time as they disciple others. However, the document notes it is not our responsibility to convert people but to share our faith gently and respectfully. It acknowledges barriers to being missional, like not loving others as much as God does. It encourages examining who we don't like and lists scripture about God's love. It concludes that becoming more effective requires seeing others as those God loves

66. Next Week
By the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, the people had grown increasingly impatient with Israel’s servile international status and had lapsed into a new set of moral failings. No
longer were they primarily guilty of spiritual depression, lethargy, and apathy. Malachi confronted a culture that was intermarrying with pagans (2:11-15), robbing God of
the commanded tithe (3:8-10), and holding the Sabbath in contempt (2:8-9; 4:4). Furthermore, Israel’s religious leaders (the priests) were corrupt (1:6-2:9) and the people
were inflicting social injustices on the downtrodden in their community (3:5)
