		<description><![CDATA[This question is triggered by this essay on Dave Black Online, which is quoted on our Energion Publications blog.
Let&#8217;s look at the question from three angles:
1)  Should the gospel commission be supreme?
2)  Is it supreme in your church and mine?
3)  How could it be made supreme and what would that look like in practice?

<blockquote><p>Overall, <em><strong><a href="http://www.energionpubs.com/ep_detail.php?sku=1893729761">Megabelt</a></strong></em> has some good qualities. However, it is my opinion that the author missed his chance at writing a book that would have great impact on the church. I wish this book could be re-written with more grace, less sarcasm, and no crudity. If a revision was done well, then I think churched people of the South might be willing to read it and think about the important issues it raises.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you have read Megabelt, what do you think?</p>
