The Bible has many wonderful promises to equip us to do our assigned tasks for the Kingdom (e.g., “Perform signs and wonders,"  “that you will do even greater things,” Mark 16:17–18, and John 14:12–14, etc.). We do not seek out glory and power for ourselves, but miracles can accompany disciples as they go out into the world and interact. These can be very powerful tools in evangelism. You can easily crash and burn as well!  Don’t let yourself be the free goat (I'll expain later on).  

In this series, I have been trying to share with you some of my low points in disciple-making in the hope of saving you some grief and perhaps helping the Kingdom along the way.  This one is related to the first story in that not everyone sees the world as you do, but they are also not offended in the same way you might be.  This tale of woe is probably the worst one, and I don’t want to really admit it, but here goes.
