Maybe I'm too optimistic.
Optimism is good, especially where the great commission is concerned. But there is an order of discipleship in the great commission, one which ensures Christ is acknowledged the head over all things and which safeguards against a moralism devoid of true value and virtue; in Scriptural terms, a form of godliness which denies the power thereof. Christ is the substance of goodness, righteousness, and truth in this fallen world. Without Him all is death.
