Resilient discipleship is not purely a reactionary measure the church must take against the rising tide (tsunami?) of secularism. Rather, the church must always be edifying the saints for kingdom work. Edification is a construction, building word. What I mean to say is this: The church must seek to build people up into maturity; to give priority to the ministry of disciple-construction.

The apostles of the early church were to be regarded as both servants and stewards. But an application of this passage can be applied to churches today, and particularly to pastors. Pastors, as the biblical leaders of the church, are to act as both servants and stewards.

Why would God impart such a statute, commanding that the Israelites celebrate the Passover forever? Because remembering God’s kindness is discipleship.

How important is it to know what you believe?

I think we need less and less "blind believers."

Family is the most natural bond God has given us, and we can make the most of it. Within your family, take time to show love and truth.

The church must encourage its congregants to make disciples. Believers are all called to make disciples. We are united under that.

Discipleship is not easy. There is no getting around the fact that discipleship is hard work. Biblically, there is no promise the discipleship process will ever be anything but hard. Rewarding, but hard.

Discipleship begins with a willingness to either be discipled or to disciple. We must be willing to take part in discipleship for it to be effective in our life.
