I have no problem with the "go" in "Go and make disciples".
...but go and do it! Don't just sit in church and change message, orthodoxy, doctrine, practice and into casual attire in order to appeal to the world. This doesn't convert the world...It just makes the church more worldly.
I do, however, have a problem with turning our church into a shopping mall with secular music and other trappings of the world, and so forth, and changing the Gospel message that leads to repentance and true salvation into a feel good message filled with pop-psychology (felt needs), which is no Gospel at all.

I agree, especially when they want me to wear short sleeved Hawaiian shirts in January here in Connecticut. I don't think that's what Paul had in mind with his "filling up the sufferings...".
