In HBKS, the pastor gives the analogy of 2 men who receive parachutes while they are on a plane.  One is told that the parachute will make his flight better, more comfortable, but the passengers mock him and he isn't any more comfortable and so he takes it off.  The other man is told that he will have to jump out at 25,000 ft., and gladly wears the parachute through the mocking and clings to it tightly becauses he realizes the consequences of falling from that height without a parachute.

        We need to make disciples and believers, but they need to come into Christ with the right motivation.  Avioding the fall, not a better flight.  Otherwise, we set people up for an inevitable failure in their Christian walk.  The sermon talks about a lot of issues that are standing in the way of our witnessing and how to overcome them.  I would really recommend listening to it.  It's on youtube and all of those other video sites, and it has some remarkable points that we can all improve on.
